The situation is this. I've fallen in love with a litter of boy piggies that our local (lovely and professional) pet shop are selling, there are two pairs of boys and a solitary girl.
Anyone who remembers what happened with the last two pigs I bought knows that my big pig is on his own at the moment .
My problem is that I'm very wary about introducing big pig to a new little pig, he's quite skittish and anti social generally and genuinely seems to prefer being on his own. I would like to give him a little bit of company however so I'm considering buying the pair of bonded boys and putting them into my big cage and then putting Tyrion (big pig) into the medium cage and then putting the cages side by side.
Another issue with this is room. The only two places big enough in the house for the cages to go side by side are the room by the garage and the sun room which is also the kids playroom. Both rooms are very cold a lot of the time without the heating on but the sun room does get natural light which the little room by the garage doesn't. If they went into the little room by the garage though that room could be solely for them and they wouldn't have to put up with noisy playing kids in their space .
Can anyone give me any advice on my plan? I'm not sure if they'd be okay with the temperature and lack of light although they would get light at playtime etc. Any help would be very much appreciated!
