I have always hated the petco stores, and I realise that most petsmart stores are no better, but my local petsmart has stopped selling animals at all, and they instead have all their animal cages full of animals from the local Humane Society, and they make people go through this big huge...

It sounds like they might need some foster homes even if you can't provide a forever home. And I'd like to know how long they will kept and what will happen to those not adopted after that time.

It really makes me happy to see somebody doing so well right from the start, like you researched and asked questions before you got the piggies, put the cage in the family room, not tucked away in a kid's bedroom, you adopted, etc. Continue keeping us updated and good luck with the pigs! = ) lol

I believe that a thread like this would go in the "Introductions" category, but you have got really cute pigs.

Yes, it's a great idea. It works well with cardboard boxes, but similer huts in plastic boxes are more durable. (But my pig doesn't like to chew them as much as he does with the cardboard ones.) For a guinea pig size, I use an old plastic bucket. Do make sure to take the bottom off. Actually, I...

My pigs have a hayrack, but what they (and I) prefer is when I take a box that sodas come in (the long skinny box, often called a fridgepack or something like that), and cut off both ends and stuff it full of hay. Another option is to fill a paper bag with hay and put it in their cage, or to...

l_eris_l, I agree with you completely. I went to one of those awhile ago, and they judged the animals based on personality, tricks, there was even a catagory for the ugliest, and the winner walked away proud. Also, for animals that were skittish, there were several catagories, no animals...

Right, salana, but they get treated better than this. They are not put back with their attacker, at their mercy, without any way to contact help if it happens again. This makes me sick. I'm writing to all of them. Is there anything else that I can do to help?

Dukat was banned, good, and I agree that He/She was just trying to stir up trouble. I don't even want to think about how stupid He/She would have had to be to not notice this site's attitude. Kudos to the mod. that banned him. You did us all a favor.

You should stil complain to the petstore, because if they sold you a pregnant pig, they should be helping with the cost of care for babies, vet visits, etc. They will most likely not be very helpful, but it is worth a try.

I would reccommend getting two, and of the same sex so that you don't end up with baby pigs (they sound cute now, but seriously, that would be bad, because they don't stop after one litter, and you have to find homes, it would be a nightmare), or you could get a boy and a girl if the boy was...

That's what I used for the ramp for my pig's cage, and he likes it just fine, but it took him a couple of days to get used to it.The biggest problem was that at first, I had it at too steep an angle, so you just want to get some of the straight tubing, and give it a long run to make it not too...

I think the vecro idea might be the best, but I have found that it is sometimes easier to attatch the velcro to a frame you make and put in the cage, around the edge, than it is to velcro it directly onto the cage, especially since the frame is often so much easier to really clean well (since...

You don't have to, but if I were in your position, I would not put up with that from a friend of mine, I wold tell Stephanie to get a grip and quit trying to control me. It sounds harsh, but (to me) it seems like the right thing to do to get her to figure it out. If she is still opposing you...

In people, dark coloured or not much urine can be a sign or dehydration, I don't know if it the same in gp's, but I do know that dehydration can cause loss of energy, etc, but if your vet wasn't too concerned, I wouldn't worry, just keep feeding plenty of fresh food and keep trying with the...

Remember to make sure that the grass has no pesticiedes or other chemicals on it, that would make him alot worse. I got my piggy in terrible condition from a local rescue, and he would not eat any solid food, so I used the pedialyte, critical care, and pretty much everything else other people...

try to contact the humane societies and animal welfare organizations and let them know, because they are used to dealing with this and may be able to help you.

4'10", still growing majorly, probably at least 5' by the end of the year.

that is pretty cool, congrats, how far along is she?

does anybody's pigs like small amounts of bananas?
