What animals do I work with at the farm? And what jobs do I do with each animal?

Hi readers! I thought I would do a more farm related post for a change. 1. Cows, they are the main animal at the farm and have to be kept happy and healthy.

This will keep them occupied for ages and you can get them that attach to the side of cages and ones that go on the floor for your piggies to roll around (  HAYPIGS! Piggy weightlifter is my personal favorite ) 4. Give them fleece beds. This is a great idea especially in the winter as the fleece will help them stay warm. Maisie has the  HayPigs! piggy crash pad  and loves it. Bramble and Patches have a rattie angels  hammock that I got at the national pet show . 4. Get a subscription box for your guinea pigs. I normally get a  Bunnies That Lunch  box for them as the ra
