What kind of toys do pigs like? What care or precautions should I take with a pregnant pig?
Pigs are natural rooters and puzzle solvers, so anything that involves nosing around with or digging in will be fun. Giant rubber balls (like the kind you see horses playing with) treats hanging from a chain, places to dig and more can all help encourage some playfulness and enrich the environment. Pregnant pigs should be up to date on any needed vaccines in your area prior to breeding, and should be fed a diet appropriate for enough nutrition for growing piglets and nursing them after birth. A growing or lactation diet is best for mom to prevent nutrient deficiencies during these high-energy periods. Signs of problems that warrant a call to the vet are lethargy, loss of appetite, failure to gain weight, or struggling to stand/move around. Depending on your production style, most pregnant sows are crated or kept in a special birthing pen that allows piglets to safely move away from mom without having her accidentally lay on or step on babies.

I've had my guinea pig for about 3 years maybe and I figured that it's too late to get her a friend. What are some other ways besides getting her a friend that would help her be happier besides me getting her out and holding her.
Thank you for using Boop by Petco! You can get Lilli some huts and nesting/bedding material to hide/play in. Guinea pigs enjoy burrowing/tunneling so things like huts and pipes are fun for them. You can find plenty of options in pet stores, or make things your self out of shredded paper, toilet paper rolls, PVC pipe, etc. I hope this helps and am happy to answer any other questions you may have!

Our inside piglet (Juliana / Vietnamese Potbelly Pig mix) tries to eat paper and chew on walls and flooring. What can we do?
Piggerton is precious, but sounds like he may be a little naughty! Fortunately, pigs can be trained pretty similarly to dogs. Essentially saying "no" when you catch Piggerton doing something he shouldn't be, and diverting his attention with one of his toys. You can try a Bitter Apple spray on things you do not want him to chew. I hope this helps and wish you luck with your piggy!

I'm going to be moving soon. How will this affect my pig. She stays outside with my dads pigs and other animals while I'm at work then she comes in the rest of the day. When I move she'll be the only pig/pet. Will she be sad?
There may be a period of adjustment for her, but she should be fine. Consider a pet daycare if one is available locally. Provide plenty of toys and possibly leave a radio or television on for her. Increased playtime and interaction when you are home would be recommended after the move.

I've got a few questions. First my two birds are having a hard time bonding with me how do I fix that? Second I think my hamster needs a bigger cage, picture below, 3rd my leopard gecko has a heating Rock does that mean I can leave his light off dur
Thanks for reaching out. Sound like you have a full house. 1. Birds will often bond together but continue to work with them in a quiet environ, offering treats to win and re-enforce trust. Toys, the radio or tv, can all assist with boredom. Setting up foraging toys so birds need to spend time looking for food. 2. There is no such thing as too big a cage. 3. Heating rocks are rarely approved for use, as they will eventually become faulty and get too hot, potentially damaging the animal. A heat lamp is recommended. 4. The bunny's litter box should be spot cleaned daily and full clean weekly. If you can smell it you waited too long. Good luck.
