Hi Please try not to have foxgloves anywhere near the lawn or a piggy run (or in the garden at all). Even eating part of a leaf can be fatal. This is by far the most common plant poisoning we see on here because unlike other unsuitable plants, foxgloves don't taste bad to piggies and it is...

Welcome to the forum First, I would advise you to contact your chosen rescue before you do a single thing to your shed/playhouse. This is because you need to know the work you plan will be approved by them - each rescue has their own requirements. You will also need their approval as to whether...

Hi I have been looking at outdoor runs but lots seem to have bad reviews as folk are saying lots are poorly made The Canterbury one above in reviews says it doesn't fold if the lid is secured, I would definitely need a lid due to cats and occasional fox and would need to be secured, any...

They did and I have a small square run so they did advise I get a larger one for the warmer months I have a gravel garden so Geoff and Bobby didn’t go outside when I moved -

He’s all better now, popcorning away happily in their shady spot munching on some nice spring greens! I’ve got two of the Kavee freezable bottle things arriving today so that’ll help keep them nice and cool from tomorrow too. It’s this one, not the cheapest at £118 but it folds so easily for...

We’re very lucky to have lots of space. They live in the larger than needed (for two adult boars) C&C cage in a centrally heated conservatory/extension (it’s got a proper roof. It a greenhouse style one and opens fully too for cooling when it’s spring) in the cooler months. I move the c&c cage...

Does everyone who has outdoor hutches have a run attached please and why does outdoor hutches need to have runs attached but indoor ones don't need a run thanks

I hope things work out. Could you get a hutch to keep them warm in the garage?

thank you I do appreciate your reply I have an outdoor run that I could bring into the house to use temporarily and spare beds etc until I got a full second cage. I also have a pop up play pen that I could use while I got that sorted. I’m just not sure which way the split would go - which 2...

Hi Please don't try to mix them outdoors. They will get into trouble straight away again since they are forced to establish a new group in new territory with all the ensuing dominance behaviour - and the inevitable fights if you put them in a situation where they have to go through it all over...

Thank you. That's fine will do thanks for your advice

I have the Canterbury - I really like it. When the lid is on, it is screwed in various places in the middle. The lid does lift to enable access, but the run itself will not fold up for storage with the lid screwed on. I therefore unfold the run and screw the lid on at the beginning of the...

Hello, We had two lovely little piggies join us yesterday and they are quickly settling into their indoor home. They’re in a C&c cage inside and will be all year round. I don’t think they have ever been outside. We “rescued” them from a family who had only had them for four weeks and decided...

Without pellets how do they get nutrients like Vitamin D? Do you think that particular nutrient is abundant in grass and other veggies that are grown outdoors? This is one of the main reasons I do feed pellets, because my pigs are inside most of the time and when they do get out, they're not...

they are girls and they are both older pigs, one is 6 and a half and the other is 4, my mum doesn’t like the smell, i try to prevent the smell as much as i can? i change the fleece every 2 days, as we all know hay goes everywhere 😭 i’ve decided on the garage with a carbon monoxide alarm, because...

Piggies love apple wood. We get small branches from a family members tree. In the summer we just put the whole thing in their outdoor run and let them eat what they like. It is really good enrichment for them.

Hi yeah so I have outdoor 5 ft double floor hutch still haven't confidence to catch them yet but they hand feed but feel they just lie about a lot and maybe not happy know it's been recommended a separate run but my question is how best to catch them to put them into that run and what is the...

My two sows are nightmares to pick up, much worse than any boys I have had They are quite averse to going into a tunnel and start teeth chattering. One I can get when she is in a house but with the teeth chattering worried she might bite One of them once held is fine but the other is quite a...

Hi we are moving house and unfortunately our new garden has no grass, its only concrete. I was looking to set up a run outdoors for play time, but not sure if concrete is the best. Is rubber matting a suitable flooring? As I worry they would chew the rubber… if not what is a good alternative?

I'm glad they are ok. I’m afraid piggies don’t do those kinds of play times. They will see each meeting as a full on bonding session whereby they will try and will fail to form a hierarchy every time. It is very stressful for them to be repeatedly put together and separated. So now they are...
