Jumping

[Chappers]

How far can a piggie jump without hurting themselves.

I had gizmo on the sofa while I got his brother from the run, but I kicked the run and this scared gizmo, who made a run for it. I caught him just in time before he jumped off.

My heart is still racing,.

Well, I'm not sure on any exact distance but my piggy fell down the back of the bed once, didn't realise how big the gap was, one minuet he was there the next he wasn't, funny now i think of it, but scary at the time, but he was fine and that was quite a fall for a piggy, although i have heard of smaller distances to hurt piggies and cause damage i guess it depends how the fall etc.

One of mine has worked out how to get off the sofa, not really a jump, more of a drop-shuffle technique. My sofa isn't too high though. I think it can also depend on how they land, i heard of one member on here, her piggie fell out of a second storey c&c and the piggy died

What's the standard pool table height? Years ago I had a pig jump off that and break a leg, so pool table is too high!

Years ago I dropped my Guinea Pig and he was fine. I felt horrible of course.
