Can a 13 week old get stuck in the c&c grids or is it tinier babies that can?
 
I've had 12-16 week piggies that haven't been a problem but I would say it depends on the size of the individual piggy and in particular it's head. Some tiny babies can walk through the grids!

I don’t know if she’s tiny for her age or not because I’ve never had one so young. She looks teeny to me! She’s so cute :)
 
They do don't they. Picking a little one up is such a shock too after years of picking large adult boars up, so delicate and squirmy.

You wouldn’t even have known she was in the carrier it was so light! She’s in the bonding pen with Perry our senior boar at the moment and I just had a panic about the grids!
 
The pen doesn’t have correx but the cage does so maybe the cage would be safer and I should move them there sooner?
 
Gorgeous colours and markings I love piggies with stripes up their faces. She is adorable, has she got a name yet.
 
Does anyone have a picture of how to baby proof? Really annoying I’ve overlooked this!
 
I’ve baby proofed my grids in the past with cardboard strips to stop them poking their heads through

I don’t think I took photos. Cut strips of cardboard about 3 - 4 inches deep and then poke a hole through and either use string or cable ties to secure periodically to the grids. If it’s up against a wall that side should be safe anyway.
 
Actually I think it’s 6 inches from outside but 5 inches inside because of the bedding.
 
She has white and brown cow pattern markings on her bum so we initially thought of calling her Daisy but then from the front she suits Roxy. She’s a chatty, playful little girl. Nervous when we’re close by though but that’s to be expected I think.

Not sure which name to go for and they are both so different!
 
When she got the zoomies earlier I said she was a crazy baby.. then thought crazy Daisy lol so I think we’ll go with that name. I can’t get a pic yet but her little white and brown cow markings are so cute :)
