What you are doing is amazing and this is going to be a great thread to keep reading!! Winky is one of my favorites...
I would love to have the space and means to do something similar and maybe one day, way in the future it will happen. For now, it will be good enough to read about your rescued piggies.
Thank you for what you are doing!!!!!

I have to tell you a cute story. I have a ramp and loft in Leo and Winkys cage (actually all their cages), it's only about 4 grids high. When I clean their cage, every few times I take the loft out to get underneath easier. The pigs love to go up the ramp and jump off when the loft is out. I don't know if they're just curious where it went or if it's like a diving board for them. It's low enough I don't worry plus I'm right there scooping anyway.
Well Leo won't let Winky go up the ramp when the loft is out. It's like he's protecting him. I'm guessing its cause he's a baby but maybe Leo knows Winky can't see and he's afraid he doesn't know the loft is gone. I've watched Leo do it several times, at first I thought he was just being bossy but now I think he's being protective. He just blocks the ramp with his whole body and nudges Winky back down.
How cute is that?!?!
I love them.
Winky is up to 372 grams now! Leo is 1212 grams :-)

Meet Spartacus! I'm fostering him for LAGPR while he recovers from what the think is scurvy. He's the sweetest thing and a very big dude! He doesn't have good use of his back legs and kinda wobbles when he walks.

Oh I just wanna snuggle with him for hours! Hes so sweet and calm! I just posted a scurvy question and video in the medical section. He walks much worse than I thought he would.
