Hi  Everyone and EveryPig,

While Zathras has his teefies checked I wanted to write a quick note about what happened to him and a cautionary note about low cages like creative cubes.  Although most pigs are described as laid back and not adventurous, IF they get into a scuffle they may pop up and out of the situation,  its a reflex that surprises the pig as well as any poor slave who all of a sudden sees a piggy where no pig has gone before.  Its usually boars of course, and a good reason to be extra careful matching pairs.   If your boars seem restless the best thing is snacks,  a mound o veggies to eat till stupefaction outs weighs a scuffle in a piggies fun book any day.  Other precautions are to make sure your cages aren't near ledges and if a piggy pops up, there is nothing sharp for them to fall onto,  Pop up pigs can pop up more than 2 feet straight up with no horizontal component and no forethought.  Amazing 
Sandy  with parsley wishes for darling Zathras
