    Hay How much hay and what counts as 'access to hay'?

    For some reason recently my two piggies just started pulling all the Timothy hay from the hay rack and use it as bedding. Which I suppose is fine, I'm just not sure if this 'counts' as having access to fresh hay all the time (which I have been doing). i.e. if they pull all the hay from the rack...

    Upper Levels third pig coming - should I enlarge the kitchen loft?

    Hello- I have posted already about adopting a third piggie - she's coming this week - I'm very excited.

They seem to enjoy it. so much more space to run and move and they are hiding less in their hidey house.

After reading here, I'm building a 2 x 4 C&C cage. Right now we have one hidey house and the girls seem...
