I am sure the long trip will be easier for the piggies than for the mom and baby. The daughter must really want to be home for Christmas to go that far with a young baby. Of course getting baby to grandma is a big incentive. Taking the piggies along is just a bonus to the trip.
I knew you would need more cages. There is always need to separate and sort litters out. Your sheds must be hives of activity right now.
Bunnies take a lot longer to mature and wean. That must make it harder to let them go.
It is good that you can keep the ones that stand out as special. It must be personality as well as looks. We always want to keep the characters who make us smile.
The piggies arrived safe and sound in Inverness after two days travelling and was settling in really well in their new indoor enclosure.
I got three new cages and so far I am using the two smaller ones. I've bought a couple of stands so once I get them up I can put the cages on the stands with the one going in the old shed so I have extra room for the sows.
The kits were moved from mom on Xmas Eve into a large cage, temporary until they are sold. I have a spare hutch in the old shed where the pair I am keeping will stay. Space is very limited so can't really keep many of the bunnies and my guinea pigs are my main interest.
