I'm compiling a shopping list of things you should have for your pigs for my site. I know im going to forget something lol, so heres what i got, post anything that I forgot-

cage
bedding
food bowl
food
hay
water bottle
treats
cozies
veggies
vinigar (for cleaning cage)
nail clipper
brush+sissors (for long hair)
hide away houses
hay rack
shampoo
litter box

ok, thats all i can get off the top of my head, did i miss anything?
 
chews (preferably not artificially colored)
salt/mineral wheel
 
Sounds okay to me. But I am probably forgeting something too! LOL! Tell me when you get your website done! I would love to see it!
 
Are you going to stress on the right kinds of everything to get like the right kinds of hay and the right kinds of cages, etc?
 
ok sure! no problem
 
You forgot toys!!!!!
 
Cozies, Chubes, and you don't need a salt lick they burn your tounge trust me I know from experince even the ones that are flavored. I tried one of the following flavors apple, corn, carrots, celery they burn your tounge I wouldn't put them. The treats shouldn't be from a petstore they should be like a homeaid recipe, veggies or fruits.
 
You don't need a litter box either. Oh take cozies off the list I just told you you already had them.
 
you licked a salt lick?? lol! (kinda)
 
Well it is a salt LICK. lol. Someone said on another thread they licked one and said it burned there tounge and I was just made a question to see if that was true and it was. :D
 
Yup, once things are all set up it should end up like this
ex. Hay (see hay page) lol then their will be a page with what kinds are best, stuff like that.

Ya I am forgetting toys!

O dont worry, I give my girl the miniral blocks, lol not like she has used it yet, i figure its not straight up salt, but there is salt in them

I already listed cozies, and chubes sort of fall into hiding boxes and toys, but ill add them anyway

Ya, its a suggested shopping list, so im eventually going to seperate the optional ones
 
I knew I was forgetting something obvious
 
Mineral wheels are junk also. They won't use them and they are not good for them. Might as well leave it off your list and out of your cage.

As for wood chews, I've never had a cavy that liked any sort of wood blocks to chew on. However all my cavies love brown paper bags and cardboard.
 
ok thanks for letting me know, i had no idea

O i didnt say "wood" just chews in general, something to chew on
 
you might want a rock to put in your cage (sometimes they scratch thier little feet on it) it can keep their nails worn down a bit. I donno, that's not really something you need to shop for though.
 
hmm, I know some people use bricks, and rocks seem similar enough... I donno if i should add it tho...
 
dont really need treats - too muh sugar and fat
 
Could you make a revised list so I can help you more? Thanks, that'll be helpful.
 
The list as of now-

cage
bedding
food bowl
food
water bottle
cozies
veggies
vinigar (for cleaning cage)
nail clipper
brush+sissors (for long hair)
hide away houses
hay rack
shampoo
litter box
chews (preferably not artificially colored)
toys (lots of them)
chubes
hay






Optional
treats​
 
thanks for making treats optional, maybe you could mention that fruits make great treats?
