Hey there! To start things off, my name is Zerobanshee, and I have two wonderful Pigs named Gavin and Ezekiel (Gav and Izzy are their nicknames respectfully). Gavin I got a couple months ago, and Izzy only just last week. I wanted to give Gav a friend to play with, since I'm at work often and I don't want him to be alone. So far they have been wonderful together! Some back story for you: I once owned a Guinea Pig when I was a child, but I don't remember much of it to be honest. So I decided it'd be time to raise a couple of Pigs again, and I'm absolutely loving it. I'm currently planning on growing cat grass, daffodils and wheat grass for the pigs, and am also looking for a larger cage for the both of them, since once they are both fully grown the one they're currently in will be cramped! Anyways, I hope you guys are doing well, and have a nice day!

Welcome to the forum.
Please note if the pigs are male and female they will breed, unless the male is neutered. Unless of course you are planning on breeding them. There is alot of useful info on the site regarding breeding, if in doubt ask questions.
Please make sure your sow is at least 950grams before breeding and at least 8 months old before pairing if not a little older.
Also daffodils should not be fed to guinea pigs.

I hope they are both boars! The breeder I got them from swore they were both boars.
Thank you for all the info though! I didn't know they can't eat daffodils, so I'll make sure to keep those away from my Pigs.

Izzy is a nickname for Ezekiel. Also I sexed him based off the threads and confirmed he's a boar. :-)
