About Coco & Charcoal
These ladies were surrendered together and are surprisingly the same age. Space in a piggy relationship is everything! While their previous owner did what she knew to be best unfortunately lack of space within their previous enclosure has made Coco (left) a little on edge.
You see, Charcoal (right) is a dominant female and when Coco didn’t have enough space from her she didn’t eat as much, nor did she venture out a lot so she is on the timid side. Coco loves humans but is of course wary of Charcoal.
I have the girls in a 1400 x 700 now and Coco has begun to gain confidence along with weight. Still the weight difference between the two is huge! Coco weighs in at 844g and Charcoal weighs in at 1150g.
Because Coco is timid I wouldn’t recommend this pair for younger children. If you’re an adult after companionship I’d recommend these girls for you!
BUT remember a big enclosure and two houses are definitely required for these ladies.
You may ask if I have considered separating the pair and finding them new friends. I have, however space has helped this relationship and I don’t like to separate piggies that come in together unless absolutely necessary for their part.
If you’d like to apply for these girls please send in an application here https://www.misspiggyslair.com/adoption-applicationAdoption
