I have a few questions
- Orvis
- Power to the Pigs
Sorry Lisam I stick to my viewpoint! I think a new pet owner in general should go slow and make sure it's a good fit. It's well known that most people on here feel like if you don't have at least 2 you are not a good pig owner but sorry I just don't agree. There is never just one right way to do things in life!
Also, I worked in a shelter for some time and just because pets may be brought in together doesn't mean they will stay together. In fact for some pets being separated from their companion visibly adds to their trauma of being in a shelter. But let's not go there! This piggie will not be in a shelter I am sure.

- Power to the Pigs
PS My husband is home all day, so in concession to what you say, if we were both gone all day I would probably get another one...I would love to have a lady friend for Orvis and maybe have a litter (?) then get him snipped - ouch! - but this is all dreams, we can't afford any more pets right now.
Hi Orivs,
What about the known risks of pregnancy and delivery? What if your beloved sow died in the birth?
Plus, if you have room, time, and funds for 5 more pigs, why not adopt ones who are facing death in shelters rather than creating more?
And if you want to see babies grow up there are pleanty of pregnant sows facing death in shelters too.
There is always more to consider than the simply view, you see.

And then go look at Cavy Placement and justify your reason for wanting to breed.
