Answer
Hi Vicki

Not eating for 8 hours on the day you bring your pig home isnt something to worry about. If she doesnt eat within the first 24 hours then you should consult a vet or the pet store though.

The sneezing also isnt overly excessive, but can you tell me what bedding you use. Also, is there any sign of discharge on the nose or eyes.

thanks

andy
