[Gpdd] CARE - millet & portable cages

[Chris Boortz]

This is my first post, but I wanted to ask a question and share an 
idea. First the question: Is it okay to give GPs millet? They are 
usually sold for birds but can also be fed to some small animals. I saw 
some in the GP cages at Petco, but of course that doesn't guarantee 
anything!

My idea is in response to the questions about where to get portable 
enclosures to take your piggies outside. I used some of the extra 
panels I had left over after making my C & C cage to make a collapsable 
"playpen." I linked 8 of them together by fastening the sides with 
cable ties. It folds down accordion style when not in use. When I use 
it I position the linked cubes in a circle and close it off by clipping 
the ends together with clothes pins or binder clips. I've actually made 
two sets of 8 panels each - I can use both of them together to make an 
extra large play area. This is A LOT cheaper than buying one of the 
collapsable playpens I've seen in pet stores.
