Only one? It's recommended to keep at least two as they are very social animals.
My four live in the garden, well protected and I'm too chaotic to keep any sort of regular feeding schedule, but they are fine with that, must be exciting for them if an unexpected feed of carrots or cucumbers drops.

- TomK32 3y agoInterestingly keeping piggies with rabbits is not allowed in every country. For example here in Austria it's not allowed (according to the 2. Tierhaltungsverordnung Anlage 1 ( 3.6)), while in my native Germany it is.

- TomK32 3y agoAh, yeah the old problem of death. Happened with my first pair of siblings but I added three from piggies from the animal shelter and though it took a while for them to settle in, it worked. Just like with us humans, it becomes easier to fit in with a larger group.
