my little piggy *ok not so little* ;)

Question
I have a few questions. 1. what are good things to entertain a piggy. mine is not so active. 2. should i get her a friend? she is about 3 years old. How and when should i enter-duce a new friend. Should it be male or female? Will age be a factor in getting a new piggy? And what size house should they have. I want what it best for Moe (yes moe is a girl) she was named by my Brother-in-law when he gave her to my daughter. It fit her. Then i noticed that moe was not a boy but a girl. By then the name stuck with her. She has a nice personality likes to talk to you when you rub her back. It is a cute little chatter. Well i hope you can help me. Thank You

Answer
Hi Heidi

1. Anything that Moe can chew, hide in or run through will be welcomed I am sure. My piggies have a plastic igloo that they love.

2. Adding one female to another is usually trouble free so if you added a 2nd pig it should definately be a female. you may encounter a small amount of dominance from one pig but this usually settles down after a few days. There is no need to add a friend unless Moe is obviously lonely.

The bigger house the better basically.

Please feel free to write back if you need anything clarified.

Good luck to you and Moe,
