This is just what happened to us-others may have had better luck. We use strictly rabbits on our burms.

Thanks to both of you. The links on pigs was interesting so I started looking around and found several similar incidence of disease related to pigs...so I think I will be sticking with rabbits.

I posted a couple of local ad requests for rabbits so I will see if I can find surplus ones locally if not I will look into ordering locally.

Thank you!

After looking at different options I am going to build a multi-unit display cage. I am working on the plans but as of now the bottom will house her and will be about 7' -8' long. Above her will be 2 cages for my carpet and blood. Then 4 cages for balls and finally a row for my 2 corns and gecko. Still working out the details but should be a nice display wall of cages when I am done.

I will keep everyone posted.

If you have the meens I would get the Animal Plastics cage with the cable belly heat and glass slide doors and locks .. locks are a must..
News paper works great and if you have a shreader that shreds in long strips they love to bury in it.
We currently have 2 burms. 1 is ours and she is 12 foot long and the second is a foster we will find a good home for we hope. Plus as it looks I will be getting another one here in 4 days and I will buy a AP cage.. I love them.
Very easy and would not have anything else..

Good luck with feedings.. try www.rodentpro.com
love their food.. well not personally but ya know...
