Hi everyone...

Since my two piggies are boys, it was with some interest (not to  
mention mild alarm) that I've been reading the posts about cleaning  
and checking them for impactions etc. I just have to ask, does anyone  
know what it is about life in captivity that would cause these  
problems? Also, if there is no smell and the poos look normal, is it  
really necessary to be sticking a q-tip up their bum once a week?? Is  
there a certain age at which they start to be more susceptible to  
these problems? I do want to take good care of my little guys, but,  
well, I don't know, it all sounds a little extreme. Opinions?

Cheers,
Suzy, with Rocky and Cocoa (who are speechless)
