Hi everybody - finally managed to get round to posting one of my piggies - meet Ebony:

Here she is chilling (I think!) in her square lap cushion with a yummy bit of apple which she ignored lol. I am starting lap time again after getting somewhat discouraged the first time around. I am not very good at reading piggie body language so I have no idea whether she was happy and relaxed with me stroking and touching her, or if she was just too terrified to move. I THINK I may have received a tiny kiss at one point - she turned her head and I moved my hand to let her smell it (fully expecting her to bite me since I had no idea how she was feeling!) and she kind of nosed it.

She lay like this for just over 20 mins when she stretched her neck and head upwards as if she was listening hard for something. Thinking she was listening for her sister, who was also in the room, I ignored it, and ended up with a very wet cushion...

Hello Ebony, Aren't you a pretty little Lady! :drool:
 
Aww, thanks everyone! She, and her sister Ivory, are becoming more confident in their cage - happy to eat and play while I am in the room. When it comes to picking them up for a cuddle, if I herd Ebony into a corner she will let me put my hand under her tummy and pick her up, but Ivory will have none of it and will kick and scratch to get away! Once out of the cage, though, both will sit happily for about 20 mins before needing to go back for a wee - so we are getting there!
