i totally agree though, i wouldn’t recommend this as an outdoor run but i don’t really have any other option. i don’t work so my income in low already and iv just spent out on the hutch and getting the summer house sorted. i just don’t have any other option☹️

Awww they are so cute 🥰

I'm looking to buy a new shed for my piggies as my current 10x12 is old and seemingly not water tight. They are in the house at the moment but with 8 and lots of outdoor space and a massive run I can attach to any shed I want to get ready for them to enjoy some more space outside so does anyone...

Hi there, Something for newer owners to consider and a reminder for the rest of us. It’s incredibly dry in the moment in the UK, and wild animals such as Foxes and birds of prey are hungry. Please, even if your piggies have been moved indoors due to the heat, don’t leave them unattended with...

okay i may have to put it on the floor, i was just worried about rats etc as we have a river behind us! okay so is that when the ‘live’ temperature like on weather app says 25, or should i have a thermometer in the place where the pigs outdoor run would be? ill take some pics tomorrow of how I'm...

No. It is advised to bring all outdoor piggies into the house when it gets to 25 degrees or more and then follow advice on how to keep the house cool. They are only comfortable between 18 and 23 degrees, once it gets to 25 (or more) they are then at risk of heatstroke. Hutches and runs, even in...

Thank you for your advice will keep them separate outdoors x

Keep observing them - if you aren’t seeing any obvious issues right now then you have time - they may well show you who is happiest together (or one may show you he is the one who needs to be removed through over zealous dominance behaviours)

So I ended up taking the pigs to the vet this evening so they could have another look and we could talk things through. They’re certain enough it’s ringworm (cabby savvy vet worked at vets for pets for a while and said they all had it and would often develop symptoms following rehoming due to...

Mmmmm I’m sorry I can’t offer advice as my piggies are indoors Great that you are planning ahead and I’m sure some forum members will be along with their ideas and experience Good luck !

my little man crossed over the rainbow bridge some point last night at the age of 6. we noticed 2 days ago he'd been acting strange for a few days, not eating and lethargy, but then he started vigorously rubbing his face against things and being quite wobbly. he had a vet appointment yesterday...

Your piggies are gorgeous! So is that six piggies you’ve got there? Do they all live together? I’m asking because there are no commercial outdoor cages which are big enough for six piggies who all live together, and I wouldn’t want you to run into space related issues. (Upper levels do not...

Thanks! Perhaps the solution is to paint/treat the run but add a sacrificial untreated strip of timber around the inside of lower portion of the frame where it might be chewed and just accept that favoured sections of this might occasionally need replacing. That's not a particular burden - but...

I have a c&c cage with a lid ( as I have a dog) it is very heavy and secure - I used cable ties as extra security for the whole c&c I used to have an outdoor house with run indoors but it was really difficult to clean out and it was dark. The c&c cage I have is raised off the floor( great for...

The coming warmer days mean that grass is growing again. Please be aware that any indoors piggies are like tender plants: the gut microbiome needs time to grow the specialist digestive bacteria and the lawn still needs to be warm and dry to your own bare feet after 5 minutes. Always provide...

Welcome to the forum We are here to help and advise you in a friendly way! We absolutely are accepting of outdoor set ups and will do all we can to help you. I’m an outdoor owner myself (I do have a shed though) I'm really sorry to be the bearer of bad news but this kind of hutch is not...

A c&c does work well for separated piggies (indoors) but sadly there are no suitable outdoor options for separated piggies. For an indoor c&c, two boys together need a 5x2 but if they have to be separated then each piggy needs at least a 3x2 (so a 6x2 split in half but ideally an 8x2 split in...

I adopted 2 pigs in March and the vet said one was overweight. I asked what I could do about it she said get them in the outdoor run up their movement. However by feeding what is recommended of the 1 tablespoon of nuggets, hay and a cup of veggies per pig per day - and monitoring who was getting...

I’m very sorry that they couldn’t live together, but it’s good that they can live side-by-side. Unfortunately, this means that they can never share the same space at the same time. This includes outdoor pens, indoor runs et cetera. If you are certain that you can safely and securely divide the...

My piggies have an Eglu run for chickens in the garden, it’s 3 metres long, and they have a wooden hutch from pets at home they go in during the night. i love the eglu run it’s very safe and secure and my piggies love being in it, but the hutch i had an issue a few weeks ago with predators...
