Re: Introducing a new piggy

Actually I would be suprised if they were made s**** food, GP's arent 
good food for s****s, their hair is too course, and cant be digested.

The other thing is, it depends on what country you live in as to how 
animals are treated, in the UK its technically not legal to live feed, 
so taking an animal back is perfectly safe.
