Ah I see. Good idea!

Erin I love your new signature...I actually laughed out loud seeing how much bigger the prof is to the others.

How much are the african pigmys going for now? When I looked in to it they were being sold for £250 and I wanted one. Why I returned to hamsters is anyone's guess! But I really missed them. And I have no experience with hogs.

depends where you go, most good breeders are selling at around the £100 mark, a few BYBs are still selling £150 - £200 mark

the adoption fee from homeless hogs is around £40

i got jack from homeless hogs, for the other 2 boys no money was handed over as harry came to me as a special needs rehome, and pong was an on deaths door rescue

my other hog, huffy, was the only animal i have ever gotten from a breeder (sadly the breeder turned out to be a BYB it wasnt till after i got huffy and her paperwork that i found out both her parents were of unkown lines, i paid £150 for her, and lost her at around 2 years old due to the genetic condition WHS

if you want a hog from a breeder do your research

I'm going to look at the sites you've posted and keep them for future reference since I'm at max with pets at t mo. thank you for the info.

It's going to be some time until I get one because I know nothing about owning them and I like to do lots and lots of research before I buy
