I had two when I was a little kid, I don't remember them though.
I want a piggy as well. I saw one at the local mom & pop petstore and he was in a 10gal tank on pine bedding with just a food dishand water bottle....but he was popcorning and so cute. I swear he wasabout 2lbs. He has been there a while. I really should wait until mybuns are bonded and we get our own place.
Okay, I am wiping the drool off my keyboard now! ; ) Your pigs are beautiful!
I love the silver/black abby (not sure of the correct term for thecolor) and the peruvian with the tan face and darker body isgorgeous! What is the correct name for that color?
What kind of bedding is that in their cages? Right now I am usingfleece for my piggies, but it's not working so well. I have aspenbedding, but I am not sure if it will be too rough on their feet.
Its aspen I believe in those pics. Right now, Iam using large bales of kiln dried shavings that they sell as horsebedding at tractor supply. Its a bit softer then the aspen and itspretty economical and low dust.
Hrm, I wonder if my local feed store sells kiln dried pine shavings. I think I will send them an email to find out.
The fleece bedding is nice since I can just take it out, shake it off,wash and reuse. It makes cleaning the cage much easier, but it doesnothing for the smell and some days I get home from work and am burntout and the bedding really needs to be changed. I just think some formof shavings will be a better option for us.
Yeeee, I hope mine has some. I am going to email them in a little bit, I should hear back from them tomorrow.
I am hoping to build my piggies a NIC type cage, or c&c,whatever they are called. It has to be kind of long rather than widethough. I wonder if that would work okay.
The feed mill most likely carries the largebales of kiln dried pine for sale as horse bedding. I get ahuge bag for $5.50 (it used to be $4.35 but has gone up recently) stillmuch cheaper than a petstore.
C&C stands for Cubes and Coroplast what does the NIC stand for?
Here is a site that explains how to build the C&C cageshttp://www.guineapigcages.com/howto.htmIhad set one up as three squares long by one square wide as I didn'thave the space to build using two. I think it was fine forone pig.
