Just a bit of an update on the piglets. We are keeping a close eye on the temperature and making sure everyone stays warm and toasty. Winter is unrelenting.
Mama says just don't stop bringing those veggies! It's hard work raising twins!
Two little Thanksgiving turkeys born today from mama pig.
Just some happy piglets in a pile of hay!
When people hear that you live with 34 Guinea pigs, whether they work at a pet store or just simply friends, they assume a lot of things. They think of stacked dirty cages or maybe bugs or hoarders even because they have seen that on tv or online.
Yes I have 34 pigs in my care and I can tell you that none of them are deprived of anything.With over 40ft of enclosures that take up the entirety of one large finished basement space that is temperature controlled- no one is crowded. Take a look.
We are growing by one more cage. Another 6 footer will go in to hold some of the girls from the cage next door. That will make our 18ft cage a bit less crowded. Also,at this time, I have decided to put a hold on taking anymore pigs in order to focus on caring for the 29 we have now. Thank you for understanding.
These girls are from Minot, North Dakota! It was a 400 mile round trip and 100% worth it! We're glad to have them. Cage expansion coming soon...
The first and second car load of cages. And that's only 7 pigs. 21 more to go!
Another Thursday means another cage cleaning! Here's a short tour of the main pig room. There are 9 girls in the first cage, 2 boys up in the loft, followed by 3 separated boys. Then another pair of boys and a lone Beefcake down below. Although some boys are better separated, they still have the company of their neighbors.
