Darceys Piggies ❤❤❤❤❤💙

[Darcey15]

A while since I've posted as we've been busy bee's lately but I thought I'd drop in and say Hi and found myself browsing piggie pics- all stunning!

My 6 piggies are doing great having found my bereaved boar Gregory 5 lucky ladies to share his piggie pad. We welcomed them before Summer where they bonded at Milhaven piggie rescue.

They have all settled in well, love their piggie shed which has a runaround tube leading to an outdoor run and are free to roam, munch and play in their space.

Tonight they are inside because the fireworks have been banging and popping so I have made a large indoor C&C run and we've had a lovely grooming session tonight to pamper them. I'll do as others have and use the thread for pics in one place. First up are the 5 girls! Roma, Shelby, Sonya, Clara and Vimto enjoying their grooming (Shelby had a trim...my long haired pig).

Wow, he’s one lucky lad. And how lovely to have such a beautiful group of wives.

Ah thanks- they are all fab, very individual and strikingly different. I think Vimto is an Agouti but not 100% but from being the shy one initially, she now loves being held- she is also the wife Gregory & her are rarely apart. Never thought that was really a thing but it really is!

Oh Gregory you are such a lucky lovely boy with all your ladies x

Feeding time in the temporary indoor pen (once the fireworks subside they can go back in the piggie palace )

 

[Bill & Ted]

What a gorgeous little herd you have there

What a gorgeous little herd you have there

Thankyou they are going nuts every time I open the fridge at the moment...outside they are used to a fixed feeding time, now when I'm making tea, cutting veg, they think its for them and we have a crazy squeekfest

 

[Darcey15]

What gorgeous piggies you have

Thankyou! She reminds me of a gibbon! She's a bit nippy at times too so definately a little monkey

Roma & Shelby enjoying some cuddle time after a good brush and a mousse shampoo. The hairiest girls out of my 6 pigs and my goodness was I covered in hair afterwards. Very very snuggly and now very clean ❤❤

Such beautiful ladies

Thankyou

So it was Clara and Sonya's turn last night....Clara is a little bit nippy at times but she was very chilled having her brush and shampoo. Sonya (the black one) is incredibly cuddly, she jumped up on my chest & was licking my chin. I still think she's younger than the rest so I do baby her a bit.... Gregory & Vimto are next up but they will have to wait. After a full shed clean out today along with Christmas cooking prep I'm knackered!

 

[Bill & Ted]

Aw, they are absolutely beautiful, you can see they are loving the cuddles, their little faces

 

[VickiA]

Gorgeous photos. And how lovely to get kisses from Sonya after her pamper session.

Grooming time for all 6 piggies! With the pigs preferring to stay inside most of the day, they are still keen to pop out to the run in the late afternoon as long as it's not raining. This means some dirty paws & some more than others in need of a good hair treatment! The pigs were treated to a shampoo, a good brush and a nail clip....here's what happened!

Shelby before (looking like Rod Stewart) and after...

Vimto...blending in with my grooming mat. So sleek, she didnt really need grooming but she enjoyed being brushed.

 

[Darcey15]

Gregory- very chilled. Had a bum trim & sprawled out, enjoying every minute. Accidentally cut the quick on his nail & he still stayed calm. A little antiseptic powder & he was fine (always feel terrible but out of 24 feet and however many nails... 1 aint too bad and its black...) I was forgiven

 

[Darcey15]

Sonya- so incredibly sweet natured. Very compliant when nail trimming & super shiny. She moves around all the time so never get a clear pic of her!

 

[Darcey15]

Clara...giving me a look of 'don't you dare'

I dared- & she's clean & trimmed like the rest

 

[Darcey15]

Roma. She also had a little trim round her behind & nails. Loved it and ate most of the spinach while we were at it!

 

[Darcey15]

Finally....the husband and wife bond remains strong. Cuddles before being returned to the piggie palace ❤

Gorgeous piggies.
