Eriathwens piggies

Poppet is so beautiful.
She is so like Micah in that pic that I had to do a double take.
It was the scales that gave it away as he is officially a big chunky aby at 1430g
 
Micah! You are absolutely gorgeous ❤

We're on day 3 of being in season for Panda...watching her closely. It's been 5 minutes since we had cyst trouble so the universe evidently thinks I need the stress of another spay. Fingers crossed she's just being a bit of a hormonal bag, challenging for a higher place in the group. I looked through my notes on them and was absolutely stunned to see she and Pumkpin have turned 2 years 1 month old and on the 19th of July will celebrate their second gotcha day! It only feels like a few months ago I was taking their 1 year gotcha day pictures 😱

It has been some time since I looked back at some of the first pictures I took of little Poppet.. I had not noticed the change in her! I made some comparison pictures with some that I took today and just cannot get over how soft and squishy she seems now. I guess seeing her all day every day I just hadn't noticed.

Loving the piggy weigh in photos! Soooo many lips :drool: on display!!
 
She really is the cutest little piggie! Did you ever hear from the RSPCA about the little blind piggie? Sonic?

As of this morning they are beginning to put animals up for adoption again, but only a couple at a time and only people within the local area will be considered, which I am not in I dont think :( but so far he has not been one of the ones listed. But I will be watching closely to see if I get lucky!


Poor Ebony has had soft poops today, got her sorted with some fibreplex and extra fluids...but Poppet ended up stepping in some of it so she had to get cleaned up 😅 :doh: while she was out, I figured it was as good a time as ever to introduce her to the camera and get her used to it. She wasnt impressed bless her!

😆 if looks could kill! She’s so gorgeous but not impressed, such a cute little face x Fingers crossed 🤞 you never know they might make exceptions for an experienced owner who can offer a lovely home x
 
I finally followed up on my threat to harvest the small hazel tree ive been growing for them, can't complain at free food! I also gathered some more nettles for drying :) I may have got a bit carried away with those..how I never got stung is beyond me!

They look like they are all having fun there, I love free food, hardly ever buy veggies in the spring and summer months, so much to forage, our allotment and greenhouse is brimming in food too!
 
I have LOADS of hazel trees growing in my garden thanks to the squirrels (my house, thanks to previous owners two times ago, called my house "Squirrels Leap" theres so many of them!) so anyone who wants some hazel is welcome to help themselves (after lockdown obviously!)
 
Looking forward to the storms tomorrow and cooler temperatures! The piggies have been loving their frozen water bottles, especially the floofy ones. I've stolen the cats cooling mat to sit on, he never used it anyway 😂 I hope everyone else and their piggies have safely enjoyed the heat.

It's finally cooler here! Although Thislte seems reluctant to give up her frozen bottle just yet haha!

I think we have finally reached Poppets healthy weight, there has been no gain this week. She has been stable at 932g and she 'feels' about right, but who knows..I thought that about 60g ago 😂
Her cheeky little personality is starting to shine as she gains more and more in confidence. She does still scream when picked up but I think at this point it's just a learned behaviour, expecting pain, which she may grow out of when she realises no pain comes.Having been underweight myself I can appreciate how sore her joins must have been at such a low weight! I have a few little issues with Ebony and Tilly to have seen and Panda will need to be spayed but after that she will get to meet our vet at last for a non urgent check to be 100% sure the screaming isn't anything to be concerned about.

Little Sonic is available on the RSPCA website again, I have sent in my application. I am not sure if I am within the local area however, so we will have to see.
