Question
I got a piggie like 6 weeks ago. I do not know how to tell if he is lonely. He is only like 6 or 7 weeks old. Should I get another piggy that he can play with? Please anwser as soon as possible!!! Thank you!  

Answer
Piggies loooove company and if you have enough space in the cage (around 12 square feet is perfect for 2 piggies or maybe even 3) you could get another piggy. Another male is not a good idea because they will fight. If you look on petfinder.com I am sure you could find a spayed female in your area! =)
