So we already have 3 girly piggies whom my daughter adores and goes out regularly to pick them weeds and grass. As a result someone in the village has kindly given us 2 more....they no longer want them, it's estimated they are about 4-5 but he isnt sure, his wife had them when babysitting and hasnt done that for 3 years, not sure on sex and not exactly friendly or wanting to be touched.
My concern is the hutch is tiny, and filthy.
I cant hold them to sex them, and even if I could and they were females they may not get on with mine and would need a long introduction.
Without wanting to sound mean, Piggies life span is typically 4-7 years....so should I get them a new hutch, or simply look after them in their current home and see how they seem in a month or two health wise? If they've spent years in a tiny hutch, is it cruel to leave them in it a little longer, albeit much cleaner ?
