LISTING REMOVED. Reston, VA: Two pigs less than a year old being rehomed, sex not specified--do a pregnancy watch. The poster describes them as very cute and friendly. The pigs are used to kids, cats, dogs, and are well socialized to people. Their reasonable adoption fee includes their cage (too small), hay, pellets, water bottle (they should have two), "food crock" (huh?), hidey home (they should have two), and a big bag of bedding (toss it if it's cedar). Pics available by request.

A "food crock" is just a heavy (typically ceramic), shallow bowl. I have one for my pigs, and it's perfect for them. These are often sold to ferret owners, but if they're shallow enough pigs can get at their pellets much easier...one of my pigs, Nola, likes to actually stand on her food sometimes. Armando will lay down and basically eat pellets, sometimes using them as a pillow. Hope that helps!
