Hello
Thought I would pop head on here as looking to get two piggies in the near future and of course doing my research first. Been reading all the helpful linkies but find good to chat on others experiences!
The cage thinking of getting something like this:
Measures 122cm x 62cm x 91cm. Believe this is right size for two pigs and the stand hopefully keep out of any lower drafts but also curious indoor cats (don't worry their ideal room will keep the cats away when we are not there).
Sourced most things like toys, housing, hay, food etc only thing that makes my eyes boggle is picking the bedding. Read the linkie and just so unsure! Would like to know out of interest how much does a 25kg of Auboise last for 2 piggies in one hutch and also puppy pads I might have missed the detail there but Amazon do 100 for £22.99 - how often do you change these out? Best to have fleece liners on top?
I'm afraid we REALLY like abyssinians and really hoping for a pair of those (so might restrict rescue option though unsure of any in area need to research), again though where we have looked there appears to be abundance of boars over sows. Reading the versus, appears boar+sow best option (neutered/spayed), then sows, then boar pairs only simply due to marking? If you really want non-breeding sow+boar pair how best to go about since understand they can get pregnant as early as 3-4 weeks?
Thank you in advance to any tips
