Thankyou! Now they've had a chance to sit in the eye for a bit she's opened it back up and eagerly awaiting her dinner with the rest of them. I dont know how they brush eye pokes off so well, I only get dry eye sometimes and thats me useless for the day lol
 
And as if by magic, one almost healed eye :clap: I hope thats her last eye poke, she's a nightmare to get drops into!
Thought id share a few pictures from our morning routine where we do medications, to my surprise the pinch of alfalfa Brambles been getting after her meds has really helped, she's been at 960-970g every day without fail for quite a while now and she feels more solid and less flabby, so the extra protein seems to be helping.

It's been a while since they had sweet potato.. I hadnt realised they all liked it so much! Good job theres a second one in the fridge :lol!:

Pumpkins getting rather porky compared to Panda (look at that fuzzery little bum!) and I'm hoping it's just good food and not pregnancy! But I have this worry every time we get new babies so I'm sure it's nothing, you would think id have learned by now XD

Id treat it like corn to be honest, rather carby and high in calories if I remember right, once a week at most id say, although personally I'm going to make it a monthly treat :)
 
Been foraging today! Brought the pigs back hawthorne, bramble leaves (spikes removed!) broadleaf plantain (also obtained seeds, looking forward to growing my own!) a sow thistle, dandelions, grass and lots of yarrow :)

I've been absolutely dying at Shellys expression over having to share her meal, ive laughed so much I'm sore :lol!: but here are some of them enjoying their dinner.

Is Shelly the tri coloured pig? That photo is so funny x
 
And looking at those pictures I can see the very start of something fungal on Pumpkins nose! So she's started treatment for that in the hopes I can nip it before it spreads to anyone else. Treating one is bad enough, a whole herd is going to be a friggin nightmare :doh:

Thankyou both! I'm a little biased but I agree they're a lovely little bunch..and don't tell the others but Miss Bramalam is certainly the queen of this household XD she's such a special little character.

It's a firm favourite with my lot, especially with added beetroot, parsnip, celeriac or swede!



Awh thankyou! :wub: they're wonderful little piggies to be owned by lol

I sat and had a chat with everyone this morning while doing the medications and weighing that was needed, got a few pictures. I wish the one of Bramble with her tongue out was clearer but it really shows her personality XD

The last picture reminds me of Pearl!
 
Someone is not happy about getting oral antifungals..the only pig I have that doesn't like syringes! She enjoyed a nice cuddle though after, I say enjoyed..She likes nipping any exposed skin pretending to groom me so cuddling is a rather painful experience on my end :lol!: but I'm sure she will grow out of it. Isnt she lovely!? Excuse the pyjamas..XD

She’s beautiful.
Hope the anti fungal works quickly.
My Jemimah hates the syringe with a passion- getting antibiotics into her for a week has not been fun.
 
Ivory and Delilahs bickering came to a bit of a head the other day, Ivory came away with a cut ear but nothing serious, they have now both settled their differences and are becoming fast friends! Ivory has taken second in command with Delilah 3rd in rank, happy to still lord it over the 4 youngsters, even if she's bottom of the big pig pile XD Panda is going to be a nightmare when she's a bit bigger, I can already tell, she rumbles at everyone... it wouldn't surprise me if she made her way to the top and took over the herd eventually :lol!: luckily I can always rely on veggie time to keep them quiet.
