ABBY!!!

This is my cavy, more commonly called a guinea pig in the US.

And this is her Pig Palace. It's a four story ferret cage- black powder coated wire. I put ordinary peel-and-stick kitchen tiles down on the wire floors, because pigs don't have furred feet like ferrets, and the wire would be hard to stand on. DIMENSIONS: 48"H x 36"L x 24"W This was the best cage I could have ever gotten for her- I got it used from a friend who no longer needed it for ferrets. It has two doors and an ABS plastic bottom tray (way better than metal) that is removable. PIGS NEED LOTS OF SPACE!

Abby is, quite frankly, a PIG. She eats everything... and when she doesn't get her food at the crack of dawn (hey, to a college student, 7:30 IS the crack of dawn!) she SCREAMS. Don't believe me? Come over and stay the night sometime... she yells if she hears us coming up the steps. Her favorite foods include pumpkin seeds, timothy hay, celery, parsley, kale, apples, carrots and grass. Since cavies can't make vitamin C (they are a lot like people), they have to be provided some in their diet. Most commercial pig foods contain Vitamin C, but it will degrade over time, so buy fresh food and I would still provide some Vitamin C in their fresh foods. Parsley, strawberries and oranges are all high in vitamin C. Other fresh foods that we feed the pigs at work: sweet potatoes, oranges, strawberries, alfalfa hay, cantaloupe, and pear.
