We have one piggie and we LOVE him!!!! I would post a photo, but I thought you disliked rodents![]()
My sister just had baby rabbits. She placed a young, baby male with what she thought was her fixed adult female for half a second while she cleaned the males pen. Yep, 3 baby bunnies about two weeks ago![]()
DH once got a baby hamster....after a month he found out it was impregnated at the pet shop....he ended up with a bunch of hamsters![]()

Lyn5 said:I forgot...care. Mine pees a lot. I used to have a cage for him for a small rabbit size, but he would pee so much. Now I have him in a larger cage (in my laundary area) were the bottom is a wire mesh. It is so much easier to keep him clean. I used to use shavings from my Dad (he does a lot of wood-work), but it didn't absorb the orders and had a lot of dust. So, the best thing I found to work is actually the most inexpensive pet bedding I found. They sell it at our Walmart and it is like wood chip with scent control in it. Works really well, better than the more expensive stuff at the pet store. I also have a little igloo in there for him to hide. I have a water bottle that I alway fill and a small salt lick. I was feeding him guinea pig food and alfafa hay...but recently I mixed some rodent food with some pellets my goat didn't want to eat...which is the same stuff in the piggie food but it is huge bag, maybe 30 pounds, so I should be good for a while
We also feed him leftover fruits and veggies...and cupcakes. When his nails get really long, I trim them slightly. You don't want to trim it too short or they will bleed to death. You can usually see the vein in their nails. I also give him wood things to naw on....you need to keep their teeth healthy. I hardly bath my piggie, but he has gotten a quick bath before....I never wet his head. Right now, I have a short hair cavy...but in the past I the long hair kind. I used to have to trim the hair near his behind to help keep him clean....if not, it gets dirty back there. Also, if you have a pen with a wire bottom like I have now, all the poop drops into a lower bin (where I place the bedding) and they don't walk in it. If you have them in a cage where they walk around in the sawdust, I find that the poop will get stuck in their feet and then when they stand on the edge of their bowl to eat, the poop falls in their bowl. I used to end of wasting a lot of food trying to keep his food bowl clean. Also, some piggies like mine, love when you scratch under their necks
