Eriathwens piggies

Dinner time! Delilah and Ivory have formed a sort of 'frenemy' relationship. Yesterday I almost had to get the oven gloves out..today they're best friends!
Misty is growing into such a character, extremely inquisitive, but also quite lazy if that's possible..she wanted her Dinner, but didn't want to get up for it, so she reached as far as possible without having to actually get up fully. Although once she realised it was parsley, she was diving in.

Such lovely characters your piggies have.
They are also very beautiful.
Glad Miss Bramble is doing well - she’s such a special piggy
 
Excuse the rubbish pictures, they were taken from a great distance so as not to spook them :doh: but the two new ladies Panda and Pumpkin are settling in nicely. Not sure what veggies are but giving them a go at least. I love how Panda looks like 2 completely different piggies depending on what side you're looking at! :lol!:

Introducing the babies to the camera today! It might need a new strap if Panda (who has already earned herself the nickname 'Pandemonium') keeps chewing on it the way she has been :lol!:
I don't want to jinx anything *touches wood* but they're still healthy as anything, which is more than can be said for the last few that have come to live with us! So fingers crossed they wont need any treatment while in quarantine and can actually go straight into the big pen to meet the herd and make friends once the 2 weeks is up :)

So we have answers to Brambles weight maintenance issues. This heatwave has caused a relapse in her E.cuniculi, I noticed yesterday morning her teeth had become eeeeever so slightly uneven (first picture, ignore my powdery fingers, the disposable gloves I use are full of it :vom:) I gave her a precautionary dose of panacur and metacam. By the evening she had gained weight by herself, with no syringe feeds at all, she has since gained another 20g by herself and her teeth have straightened out again.

She was reluctant to show me them yesterday, but she's showing them off lovely tonight now they're straight again XDXD That little face never fails to make me laugh :luv:

So I performed a small miracle! While waiting for the F10 to dry in their pen I thought I would amuse myself taking pictures of the herd before all the chaos of bonding that was about to happen. Let me tell you, people who can get them to sit in a lovely line and get fantastic pictures are using witchcraft or something :lol!: might as well have been herding cats!

We got some passable ones in the end though bless them, and some iffy ones of Panda and Pumpkin meeting them. The pair of them have not stopped zooming and popcorning since they went in.

Thankyou! I'm quietly confident it's going well, they've all had a good sleep and now they're sharing veggies. Everyone has gone from telling them to get out of their way, to tolerating them, to sitting with them which is nice :) (they even sat still long enough to grab a picture!)

So I gave everyone their pellets before lights out, Pumpkin decided she was going to sploot herself out in the middle of the pen for a nap, legs out, eyes shut, ears twitching...so of course I had to sit on the floor and watch so as not to wake her up. I was sat there so long I couldn't feel my legs :lol!: safe to say she's made herself very much at home!
 
They've slotted into the herd so nicely! :) Even grumpy little Delilah has taken quite a shine to them, especially Panda who she is teaching to boss everyone else around, and when in doubt, Pumpkin goes running to Shelly, who is more than happy to have her dive under her for reassurance. They have already learned though that if I come in the room, chances are i've got food of some sort XD so they no longer hide under the hay, but sit and wheek at the top of their lungs (I think Panda might even be louder than Ebony! Which is saying something..)
