The easiest way to put a piggy back in its cage is backwards. Hold you pigs body in one hand and support it's rear in the other. Then slowly lower him/her into the cage. Doing this keeps them from seeing their home giving them the urge to jump in. I do this all the time with mine and they...

Right now I have 5. I exceeded my upload limit a couple days ago and I couldn't upload the rest of the pigtures. This coming Saturday the wife and I are going to a rescue to adopt 2 more bringing my total to 7.

My wife buys bottled water. I pop a couple of those in the freezer. When frozen I put them in the cage for my girls. They lick the moisture and lay against them to stay cool. Another thing I do is use ice cubes from a bag bought at a store. I put some in a bowl, let it sit for a few...

I've read that when you bring home a new pig or pigs, they should not be handled for a day or two to lower their stress level from being in a new home.

Punkin is the baby of the group. Penny is the attention hog. Punkin is white with a touch of brown and black

Mailman delivered some goodies for my girls. Here's Punkin in her new bed Annie in the sleeping bag Reese in the piggy hut I have another set ordered because they all want to sleep in these. They practically ignore the 3 pigloo's. My wife says I spoil them rotten. Can't agree more :p

She really winds up on the last one lol

Your little piggy sounds just like my Penny. I reach in to pet a couple to say "HI" and she runs over poking her head in like saying "Here I am, pet me". I have taken care of 4 for a couple years now, since adding Punkin it's really no different. Just needed to add a little more food and an...
