Teach Me Tuesday!

Fungal infections are VERY common in petstore piggies. If you see any hair loss on your piggy, make sure to take them to a vet so they can be correctly diagnosed!

"Stress, diet, environment, heat and humidity, concurrent infection by external parasites, age (the old, young and pregnant). genetics, and crowding all may predispose animals to an infection."

Say Hi Saturday! 👋

Howdy! I'm Peanut Butter! I'm a little bit shy in my cage but easily taken out for lap time. I love to be held and snuggled. And I love floor time, tunnels, and hideys!

Veggie time is great - I'll eat anything: cucumbers, peppers, cilantro, and romaine, of course. Oh, I love pea flakes and vitamin C cookies!

I might like another female friend, or a neutered male, so if you have a single piggy looking for a buddy, put in an application today!
