    2 Beautiful Girls in Sioux Falls, SD

    I hope I did this right. Molly is on the left and Lulu is on the right. Both are about 1.5 years old. I have had them since July. If I didnt post the pic right, could you let me know and maybe send directions?

    2 Beautiful Girls in Sioux Falls, SD

    :ashamed: Unfortunatly, I need to rehome my girls ASAP. I have developed a severe allergy to them, not just the sniffles its anaphylaxis, after I hold them for any decent amount of time. This has been progressivly getting worse over the last few months and two nights ago my throat started to...

    Vegetables Parsley causing smelly urine?

    Hello, I haven't been on here for so long. I now have two beautiful girls living in a C&C on fleece. I'm not sure if my odd question should go here or under bedding, so I put it here. Does anyone else have a problem with their piggies urine smelling WAY WAY worse if the pigs have had a lot...

    Chewing Chewing everything!

    I haven't been on the forum for quite a while, and a lot has changed for me. I moved over a month ago, and set up my C&C cage. I adopted my first piggie, little female abby named Lulu, on Wednesday. I have only had her for a few days, so we are both working on feeling each other out at this...

    Cage Cage design

    I am no expert on large pig groups, but in general wider is better. It increases you square footage quite a bit more. If you go from a 3x8 (35sq ft.) to a 2x11 (32sq ft.) you area actually losing area, so for sure dont do that especially if you are adding more piggers. If you have room for a...

    Upper Levels Second level for cages

    Oh ok. I had to read this a few times to figure out what you were saying. Do I have this right? Essentially you will make a triangle in the corner that is 2x2. On of the 2 grids sides will be even with say the far right edge of your cage, and the other 2 grid side will be along the back of your...

    General What's your piggies name and age?

    I dont have any piggies yet, but I already have names for my future pigs, which is probably wierd but oh well. I'm looking for a tri colored abby who I will name Roxy, and an all black or mostly black abby who I will name Onyx.

    Needing a non-messy hay rack?

    I actually found something the other day I thought might work. I was at the dollar store and went down the isle with all the bothroom stuff in it. I found all these wire bar soap holders there. They all came with a hook the attach a suction cup to, but I was thinking to just hook it over the...

    Upper Levels Second level for cages

    A 1x2 loft would take 8 grids to make. You can use either the connectors or zip ties whichever you want. You shouldnt need to support it from the bottom. If you make sure your connectors are snapped together all the way, it should easily be sturdy enough on its own. I'm not sure what you...

    C&C Does this look ok??

    It looks really good. Thanks for taking in everything people had to say and using it. Good idea with anchoring everything down. It looks great.
