Hi, everyone. My brother's girlfriend found a couple of baby rabbits abandoned in a box on the side of the road. We aren't really sure on how to take care of them, does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

I have four pigs. A mom and daughter pair and two males caged separately due to aggression. So, I have three cages, each a 2x3. Right now I have the males next to each other so that their cages look like a 3x4, with grids separating them through the center. Both of their cages sit directly on...

I have noticed that over four days, one of my boys, Spencer, has been making a strange noise. I have never heard a pig make it. He did it once the first and second day, three times the third and once the day before yesterday and not since. It took me until the third day to be able to figure out...

I have a mom and baby pair that I took in off a woman on craigslist, a little over a month ago, Judy and Liza. They had housed Judy with a male and ended up with babies. When I received them, Judy was slightly emaciated (it was obvious she wasn't well cared for). They both seemed rather...

I know I am a totally over-protective pig mom, but I am always constantly worried on dominance behavior between my boys. For those of you who haven't read my anxiety fueled rants before, I will give some background info. I have two boys. Benny is one year old and Spencer is about 9 months. I had...

I have two male pigs. Benny is 1 year old and Spencer is about 9 months. I got Benny when he was a baby and he was supposed to come with his brother, but his brother passed away. I finally found Benny a cage mate a little over a month ago. I introduced them in neutral territory, beginning by...

I have a mom and daughter pair. Baby piggy just had a fungal infection on her face that was treated with clotrimazole cream. It has since cleared up and her fur is coming in nicely. Just today I noticed that mama pig seems to have the same thing on her ear. Its not necessarily INSIDE her ear...

I have 4 pigs, 2 boys and 2 girls. I am going to be redoing their cages here soon, putting the boys in a 2x6 and the girls in a 2x3 (well bit more space than that because it will be a 2x3 then with an L shape... Am I making sense?) Anyway, as of now I am using aspen bedding which is way too...

Okay, for some background info: I have 4 piggies. 2 males, Benny and Spencer and 2 females, mother and daughter, Judy and Liza. The boys were in a 3x4, but I had to separate due to some aggression on Spencers side, he's our newest family member, so each boy is currently, and I hope, temporarily...

II have 4 pigs, two males and two females (mother and month old daughter, mom pig MAY have come to our home expecting). I purchase my hay from a semi-local man for, what I think, is way too much money. He charges about $2.75 per pound and I don't really like his, its very dusty and doesn't seem...

My seven year old son and I were out veggie shopping for our pigs yesterday and he had asked if they can have green beans and I quite honestly didn't know! Can they? And I have heard that the can have peas in a pod? Is that so? I would love to get new things for them to try!

Is Orchard grass an alternative to timothy hay? Or is it supplementary?

Benny is my one year old, he and Spencer, 7 months have been cagemates for about a week. When they were introduced, there were the typical dominance things, sniffing, chasing, rumblestrutting, but after a bit all seemed well. The past week, Spencer had been chasing benny, stealing his food, not...

I took in a 6 month old girl, Judy and her now almost 4 week old baby, Liza not long ago. I was looking for a male companion for the male I already had, but I felt bad for these girls. The other babies had been given away at a week old. I don't believe these people knew anything about pigs...

I was talking to my mother today, she has a neighbor whose daughters, 7 and 8, owned a pig. Unintentionally, she let slip that the girls pig had died. I asked how. They hadn't had it long and I remembered it only being maybe 2 years old. She was trying to deflect my question but finally told...

I adopted a mother and daughter, judy and liza about 3 weeks ago. They are divided from my boars with a few grids, and have been for a week. Today I just noticed the Liza's face right above her nose looked funny when I was about to do floor time. The fur is gone and it looks very rough and...

So, Benny is my one year old boy. He was introduced to a new cage mate, Spencer, who is 7 months old a few days ago. Everything has gone more or less as expected aside from some little middle of the night brawls that, as far as I can tell, haven't had any lasting damage (ex.: blood). But I have...

Okay... So, I have Benny, a 1 year old male. I have had him for 8 months. I got him a cagemate three weeks ago, because even though I have a mom and baby girl pig (Judy and Liza), they are separated by a divider and I was hoping for Benny to get some Piggie interaction. Spencer is 7 months old...

Right now I'm using pine shavings. I have bought fleece but it won't wick and I'm thinking it may be because my washer will only wash in cold water. Do I have to wash in hot? Or is there any alternative to add to the wash to get it to wick? Could I soak it in a tub with some boiled water? I've...
