Linn and Chuckie-
  Wow, $16.00 for a bag of pellets! I hope it was a pretty big bag! 
  My experience is that it is almost impossible to litter box train a 
piggie! They just won't do it! They can be quite stubborn that way! ;) 
The vet was right, wood shavings aren't too good for them. I use a 
bedding called Carefresh. It is a little on the expensive side, 
however I feel it is a much easier alternative to using towels. Towels 
get messy & smelly & need washed often. The Carefresh is also very 
soft on their feet. If you buy the giant economy bag of Carefresh, it 
isn't all that expensive, I guess. 
  You'll want to watch how much dandelion greens you give him because 
they are high in calcium & something called oxalic acid, which in 
large quantities is bad for piggies. For more good diet info & general 
piggie care info, check out the website "guinealynx.com". Also feel 
free to fire at us here on the digest. There are alot of very 
knowledgeable piggie people here. Welcome to you & Chuckie! =)
