I'm looking at getting 2 pigs in the next few weeks and am researching. My 9yr old boy is very excited as we only have an old dog who doesnt want to play with him.
Our garden is large but all the grass is on a slope with a patio and some decking at the bottom on a flat level. So I figured the best place would be on the patio, but should it be on grass? Its a shame to have all that grass that they could run on, but I cant put a hutch on a slope can I? I thought about maybe a separate run that I could put on the grass ocassionally for them to run on but it wouldnt be near their hutch at all.
Also one side of the garden is shaded by a hedge, so I was thinking of that side rather than the other side that gets bright sunlight.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
