We have two adolescent piggie girls, Rosie and Brownie. We started with a C&C cage, graduated from Carefresh to fleece flippers and a Carefresh kitchen. Today, among other items, we received a pig-out pouch for their hay. we clipped it on to the cage, filled it with hay and let the girls have...

Looks like yesterday's attempt at posting pics didn't work, the top one is Brownie, the bottom one is Rosie, the one with the voracious appetite and shameless attempts to convince me that I'm heartlessly starving her...

Thought I would post some pics of my piggies so folks could see the size difference between them and also perhaps some thoughts if Rosie (aka Jabber the Hut) needs a go around with Jenny Craig. Brownie Rosie

Thanks for all the responses. As for answers to the above, they get a spring mix of greens, carrot greens, green, red or yellow peppers, carrots, apple pieces or strawberry pieces twice a week as a special treat. I use Oxbow pellets and Oxbow timothy hay and they are always in the cage along...

I have two pigs, the vet thought they were approx. 3-4 months old. One in particular is relentlessly hungry, every time someone enters the room they are housed, she cries out for food. One is also a bit larger than the other and though I am no expert, seems to be kind of overweight, especially...

I have recently acquired two females, pretty young, one a week ago, the other yesterday. The one from a week ago is pretty settled, the new one is very frightened and has been whimpering and squeaking in distress. The one from a week ago, will retreat into her plastic cave and hang out all day...

Well, you all have convinced me to get the C&C cage. I ordered last night after prolonged tense negotiations with the 10 year old. We settled for the 2x3 cage in light blue with black grids, matching black base and two royal blue cubbies to replace the Ikea storage unit which will now retreat to...

At this point, I'm between getting the Midwest cage and putting a piece of plywood over the Ikea so the cage is fully supported, or just biting the bullet and getting the 2x3 C&C cage with matching base and a cubby unit or two to replace the Ikea storage unit. For those who have owned the...

Rhinos-Mom, Can I borrow your father for a day or two? Every time I attempt one of these projects, my daughter learns just how many four letter words there are in the english language...😊

I know it's not the ideal arrangement, but my daughter's bedroom is small and she is very resistant to giving up the Ikea storage unit with its storage bins underneath it that houses her toys, games etc. We also do our best to take our piggy out of the cage daily for a romp in a 24' x 48"...

Hi, new to the forum, just got my daughter a female cavy, was recommended and purchased a cage that is too small, however, I have a space limitation as I need to place whatever cage I end up with on an Ikea storage case that is approx. 18" wide x 38" long. I can deal with some drape -over in...
