That smile 😍

I tossed a handful of veggies in their cage and they all landed on top of Simon

They were really scared during all the fireworks so I scooped them up. They were much happier and calmer. Eventually they got to go back into their cage after they calmed down a lot. Sir George and Walter. It was Walter’s 1st fireworks sounds.

She may be a bit bald but she’s still beautiful to me ❤️

Idk she just seems to act different to the others in how she presents herself

The waters gone down, food been eaten a bit, i can sometimes hear hay rustling slightly. The girls seem to be settling well, they're just extra shy, looks like its going to take us a while to come out of our shells

Since giving her the extra fibre pellets everyday her personality blossomed, she comes out more, she's more social not just with the other pigs but with me as well, she's interested in my hand but she still runs away from briefly sniffing and will probably never let me stroke her unless she's in my arms, she's a touch her and she threatens to go to the edge of the bed kind of pig

Her poops are still on the softer side but that's just how she is, its how her gut works from the looks of it( she's always had soft poo)

Shes also at the bottom of the hierarchy

I have two boys, Casper (2 years) and Teddy (about 6months) and they bonded well and living happily together!

This morning however, Teddy is frantically humping Casper and nipping him, over and over no breaks, no blood but it was getting a bit concerning so I've separated them for the time being, it's a bit worrying as it came so out of the blue! I'm really not sure what to do as they're bonded and happy, yet this happened.

Any advice on what do with my boys would be appreciated, thank you! 🩵

What should I do for an eye scratch until I can get him into the vet? I believe it’s a scratch from my other pig. Anything safe ?

Hey everyone! 🙋‍♀️
How do you all handle nail trims with your piggy who absolutely hates it?
The second my boy sees the nail clipper, he turns into a pancake (which apparently makes him invisible) but the real drama only begins, when i pick him up. He starts moving around like crazy, bites me, pulls his paws back, and tries to wiggle his way out of my hands, making it impossible to get a safe cut. Im always terrified of accidentally cutting him because he just won’t sit still!
Also right after we‘re done, he looks at me with this, poor "baby face" like im the monster…(i am🫪)
What are your best hacks or distractions for nail trimming a dramatic piggy?🐹

dw he gets lots of chin scratches after.💌
