Things are much better today. It's a 2x4 C&C and they each have a hidey house at opposite ends of the cage.

Do the piggies go upstairs much?

I personally believe that the benefits far outweigh the risks, not just for us but for the piggies. They are pets but first and foremost they are animals that are designed by nature to survive outdoors. It's our responsibility as pet owners to ensure their safety and security, and to give them...

He's about 3-4 months old and recently trying to hump the older one and there's a lot of scuffling, a little bit of biting. The older one is trying to get away from him and also sometimes standing his ground. No real fighting. Should I separate them for a while?
