Those with larger herds........?

[Kit06]

What do those of you with large herds do about handling and cuddling of all your piggies? I have 5 and would love more but worry how much time it would take to make sure they all got enough snuggles. Do some of the piggies get less snuggles than others, do they do alternate days or do you snuggle multiples of piggies at the same time?

Also, those with indoor and outdoor herds, how do you decide who goes where or does it just happen like that as you add more?

Thanks for any info!

My longhaired piggies and any piggies on meds or with a suspicion of something not being completely right get handled daily for their groom, weigh-in and treatment; the others about every 2-3 days. However, I give little pets and talk to each piggy several times a day, so there is a lot of interaction of which cuddling proper is only one aspect.

PS: I have been following this pattern even back when I only had two guinea pigs for several years.
