Have you ever tried to bond all your 4, you think Posh wouldn't have it?

I really don’t know what it would be like? Posh went for Ginger when I tried to bond Hector with them, it was quite scary. It was so different from Ted, which was a doddle. He is extremely keen to be with them when they have sofa time (he tries to climb up it) when Hector and Kiki are running around below them, I’m thinking he will be thuggish with them like before. I just wouldn’t want to risk Hector and Kiki falling out as they are so close and end up with three cages 😬 Posh and Ginger are very stable together, Posh is the boss

That would be scary Posh unexpectedly going for Ginger. Yes you've got 2 pairs who seem to like each other a lot, which is great.
 
What I find works is leaving the room 🤣 once I've sat for a good few minutes to make sure no one is immediately lunging at anyone I leave so my anxiety doesn't influence what happens. I stay close enough to hear any issues and after an hour or so I'll pop in with some veg and see how they're doing. Usually everyone's fine! I wouldnt risk that with personalities like Misty, Clover or Bailey though as they're little terrors lol
 
What a lovely little herd you have now.
Glad the bonding was so easy.
Sounds as if all the piggies will benefit from being together 💖

Ginger was quite enjoying Hector’s attentions and I really think Posh was a bit jealous, I know you shouldn’t humanise them, but that was what it seemed like to me. She was not top lady in Hector’s mind
 
Willow our cat was due to have his nails done at the vet tomorrow but I've had to swap him out for poor Ebony who has suffered an unintentional bite to the eye, she also has a small lump between her eye and ear, I dont know of this is related or something she's had for a while but poor girl needs checking out.
Luckily I already have antibiotic eye drops, eye lube and metacam which she's been getting but I'm not happy with how it's looking, although it has stopped weeping. She's been a very brave girl though, it's clearly very painful.

That looks nasty. Meg had a really hurty ouchy eye 18 months ago and it took 8 weeks of 3 lots of eye drops 3 times a day half an hour apart to get it better. For a piggy who doesn't like being picked up and handled much and hates eyedrops it was a bit of a nightmare! But I saved her eye.. Hope Ebony's eye isn't that bad. Meg sends lots of healing vibes as she knows how painful hurty eyes are.
 
Ebony was so well behaved at the vet, considering how much pain she's in. I was told I can be generous with the metacam and she's been swapped from the drops I usually use to isothal so she can't blink it out as easily. Personally, I think it will heal with time, ive seen worse heal, but surgery is not off the table if it doesn't and she needs to go back if she gets worse. Fingers crossed 🤞
 
Last night was a bit hairy, her lower eyelid became very swollen and she went and got a small piece of hay in there. Luckily this morning it's looking lots better and the new drops aren't causing her more pain like the other ones were.

Sending healing vibes for Ebonay, hope that she is feeling better soon. xx
 
Thankyou all! Some good news tonight, she has been moving the eyeball to look at me when I hold her up and talk to her. She hadn't been doing that for a few days, so she does have vision left in the eye which was a concern. Plus if shes moving it, its clearly not as painful to do so as it previously had been. While at the vet her conjunctiva was actually stuck to the eyeball where the wound at the bottom was, which he managed to dislodge while checking for foreign bodies so its good that that hasn't restuck itself. It still looks pretty gnarly, but I think it's getting there, another week should hopefully see a good deal of improvement.
 
Thankyou all for the well wishes for Ebony, shes still improving. She's nice and comfortable today, barely showing any pain and nice and happy in her freshly cleaned cage.

I've been teaching the boys to eat non shredded leaves lately and they've been doing very well at it! I've now moved on to harder veg and again, they're getting the hang of it.
