Chonky pigs

[Minnou]

Sir George and Gaia? Could he be a calming influence on either lady?

Sadly not... The only thing which calms Gaia is a barrel full of her favourite foods and a good nap immediately after. That keeps her happy for about 30 minutes.

And Minerva is so deep inside her own little world - the one that only she can see and hear - that no-one is able to influence her, my little impish dreamer. Though occasionally she does heed the devil on her shoulder (Gaia).

Joe took a bath yesterday and disqualified himself from being a chonk. He's more of a cupcake with very much frosting round the hips

Oh Joe, you are a handsome lad

I'm a proud mama of two chonks, but I seriously question if Kongo really is a guinea pig? I can admit I'm guilty to Chips chonk. But I'm sure thats a Guinea pig. Kongo on the other hand.. i seriously dont get how big a pig can be?
Sleepy chonk

I think you need to buy him a bed for a small dog. Have you ever wondered if he's part cuy?

Now you really had my spinning about his manners. He's like very much piggy xtra vaganza with his instincts. If he gets stressed its like an volcano and if he really wants something hes like a tornado. He's veryvery sensitive, and nothing like the other pigs Ive known.

I don't know much about cuy but I've heard that they're rather highly strung. They started appearing in the USA a few years ago but people quickly decided their nature made them unsuitable as pets so the breeding stopped. I don't know if any made it to Sweden?

Saskia at LAGPR did a you tube video about Cuy/part Cuy. I seem to remember they are ginger or ginger and white.
He is certainly a very handsome lad.

Had to google cuys in Sweden and its not very common, but there is some breeders. Kongo fits some of the description very well (eyes, high neck, long body, ears etc.). We adopted him from an organization in summer 2023, and doesn't really know much about his past. If he has cuy in him, he's the most loving and sweet part-cuy ever. If not, he's just the biggest Guinea pig in Sweden I guess

He's a gorgeous chap

Then he's just a very big and sensitive pig. Maybe he's great grandpa was an elephant or something? That would actually explain alot!

Dignified Sir George would like to reassure all the lady pigs that he's still got it.....and then some!

 

[Minnou]

The look of horror in Sir George's eyes. Is there a chopping board nearby?

So, when you have a chunkster on ~1750g you think everything is so small and petite. Like this little Chips;
- oh my god, I think he lost very much weight! I told my SO.


He gained 70g.


My big alfa is still the smallest. But he gained a bit too. Compared to Kongo he really feels and looks like a cottonball.

And yes, Kongo uses that rifle to make his slaves run for the fridge.
