QUESTION 1: How do I introduce piggies?

ANSWER: I let all my piggies live freely on the floor, so I never have any problems introducing new piggies to my herd. If you find it difficult to introduce new piggies I can recommend to let them out on the floor and to give them a lot to eat.

If you have few pigs you should leave them in a place where they usually are not. If your pigs are males they will usually make peace in a few hours. Let them out together in the evening and let them stay out all night, do not leave them alone. If they have not fought during the night they can safely be moved into a very big cage together. Give them a house each! And give them lots of food.

If you have many pigs living at the floor you only have to put in the new one with the others.
