Rusty and shadow bonding

[HannahMarie517]

Forgot to add pics of the newest piggy. Shadow is the black and rusty is the ginger. They’ve been living together for a few days now with no problems, but if rusty does something shadow has to do it too lol. Oh and to whoever asked about cage sizes, it’s sixteen square feet (an L shape)

Glad it went well. They’re absolutely

Just one thing, what’s that stick thing in the background on the last photo? Is it a chew of some sort?

Yes I think it’s hay with honey and berries

I would remove that immediately. They shouldn’t be having honey at all, and berries should be given as an occasional treat, and in their natural form. You have to be careful with the chew things - some are not suitable for piggies even though the packaging states otherwise.

Cardboard, paper bags (handles cut off) or even empty rolls stuffed with hay are enough of a fun enrichment for them.

Oh ok thank you! They didn’t seem interested in it anyway so I planned on through it out.

is it ok to paint a house for them? I just bought one because the like to cuddle together and I wanted them to have room to grow, but I wasn’t sure if it could be painted.

It has to be animal friendly paint, but I can’t tell you which one is.... if you have a search I’m sure you’ll find a thread on it.

Though if they chew on it.... that would be a no.
