Is it bad that my first thought when seeing the picture was damn it looks easy to dig in TX! Here you'd already be into bedrock at that depth. I had to use an excavator to plant 3 "medium" sized trees for my wife just a couple weeks ago .... not to mention that we literally live in the middle of the woods, so if there's one thing we need, it's more trees. ETA - sorry ... to thread topic ... 6 feet, I thought everything had to be buried at 6 feet ? |

Do you think this is a deep enough grave for a smallish guinea pig? My daughter is really concerned of coyotes digging her up. Standard sharpshooter shovel for reference. Damn it's hot! Should have tossed this rodent in the trash and call it a day!

Quote HistoryQuoted: Good job Dad! I have had to bury so many pets over the years. The cemetery area they picked couldn’t be any worse if it was a granite quarry. I think there are 5 small dogs and a few fish out there now. I had to have the labs cremated. No way I could have done those horses. |

skunks,coons,foxes,coyotes can smell pretty deep and dig pretty deep some big rocks should keep them out Or put a piece of some fencing down 2” below the soil covering the area of the grave. |

How old was the pig?
4-5 years ago I got talked into taking in a "rescue" pigglet assuming they were like mice and only lived a year or two... 4-5 years later, still have this healthy boar. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: We have two female pigs and the one that passed was about two and a half years old. I always heard that four to eight years was the life expectancy. I think my wife fucked up and fed the pigs on a paper plate. The entire outer rim of said plate was eaten. That's my guess. @AR45fan I'm not complaining. The pig's a good pet. I built him a hutch so he can graze outside; he's very content to spend all day outside nibbling grass. Glad he'll live a while and make effort of building the hutch worth it.

I dug one about that depth for my daughter’s GP. I learned the hard way that wasn’t deep enough. Within 2 weeks it was dug up. Go deeper.
