Carrot Cottage Demolition Thread

[Lizabel]

This is a teenage tearaway mutiny after claw trimming - the hay cube (nearly new, not much remodelling yet) was a great distraction for the piggy not having his claws done but I didn't think they would both be stupid enough to squeeze in...what a pair of nutcases! Lesson learned for me, I'll give them a carrot cottage next time so they can hide from me without squashing each other

Also not really demolition related but I threw it in the bin because, well. Now Bann's rumbling at Camowen except Bann's in one of the beds and Camowen's nowhere near. Bedroom politics, eh?

They always seem to turn their beautiful carrot cottages into grotty toilet blocks for some reason

Hey, I'm just glad they enjoyed it and they clearly did. It only became a toilet in the last 24 hours, was just shredded until then lol.

That picture is fabulous!

I used to own a couple of fleece tunnels, one smaller than the other. The larger one was fairly roomy, the smaller one was not. I went to check on Comet and Blitzen one day and found that for some inexplicable reason they'd jammed themselves in, side by side, in the smaller tunnel - and couldn't get themselves moving again. That was 10 minutes that felt like 10 hours trying to gently coax them free, and they were not impressed by my efforts at all.

Kevin and Perry have done this too. They've done it so they both face the same way, and also so that they are top and tail, which makes it even harder to get them out. Even if I had two tunnels I think they would go into the same one - safety in numbers!

To get them out of the hay cube, which was newish and fairly full, I had to pull the hay out round them, rip a bit of the cube and then coax them out with food - took half an hour

Laughing only because I can sympathise - thankfully the terror duo were facing the same way so I ended up nudging Comet forward (okay, poking his bum with a finger because nothing else would work), and Blitzen was a long skinny (as in literally skinny, he had a great mop of hair) pig so it was easier to get him around the waist to encourage him backwards. And his head was the wrong way round to bite me, which was always a plus.

Blitzen would've been the one who got them both stuff in the first place, he'll have followed Comet in. The near heart attack when I found them, mind you.

This is what Toffee and Biscuit have done to their Christmas present in just over 6 weeks.

They’ve certainly shown their appreciation for such a thoughtful gift. But they must be worn out with all that demolition they’ve carried out.

 

[Roselina]

I love those little faces ‘ how did that happen ?’

 

[Lizabel]

That picture is fabulous!

It sums up my two perfectly. They are both in the cube, even though you can only see one - Kevin likes to be the centre of attention

Much commotion in the piggy room this afternoon. Holly has taken up residence in the fresh hay cube and was batting off Ralph & Hazel. Hazel was whinging like mad about it. Here are Ralph and Hazel circling round trying to persuade Holly to let them share. Second photo is Holly refusing to come out & defending the entrances. Third photo is Hazel complaining bitterly.

Nothing quite like cardboard for breakfast ....

I don't know how it all fits in Bianca's tummy, she eats so much of it at a time.



I refuse to buy them another carrot cottage yet as this one is still standing (albeit on a different side because the back wall [now roof] became too wonky). I did relent with a hay cube, though.... It's only a few days old.

They’re slow workers but slowly getting there.

They would much rather have a paper bag full of hay to destroy

Now it looks more like a bus shelter than a cottage

The carrot cottage has now been completely remodelled

A carrot tent

 

[Tnoz]

So funny love this, mine are proper chewers too
I can’t keep up with them, makes me cross eyed

 

[LucyP]

Betty and Winnie said if anyone needs any wallpaper stripping, they’ll offer mates rates for forum friends

 

[LucyP]

Winnie also likes to test the strength of the roof

 

[Bill & Ted]

The carrot cottages are about done here, Hector says it’s time for replacements slave

 

[Merab]

Nothing to eat except cardboard for this hard done by piggy

Never mind Priscilla you can come home with me in a few weeks time and you'll be spoilt rotten here. My piggies get a daily delivery of grass, forage, lots and more lots of the best hay around, yummy nuggets, coriander .......

Hamish enjoying the newish carrot cottage…


3 weeks later…..
Hector tonight, scaring me, as the roof looks ready to collapse.

 

[Betsy]

@AidaB I need a Hamish and a Hector in my life! I'll be round tonight Don't lock your doors! @Siikibam you fancy a piggy nap?

The boys say no way…. They are hiding, and rumbling, and will apparently scare anyone away!
