Merab's Herd

[Merab]

New toy came from Pets at Home.
I took out the seeded bits and refilled with their forage stuff.
They seem to be enjoying it - hay bag is still the favourite though.

Caught Phoebe dozing before playtime - obviously storing energy ready for all the crazy zoomies we had while she was out this afternoon

 

[Merab]

A rare sight when I came in this evening.
Priscilla had her head laid on Jemimah’s chooken whole Phoebe was snuggling into Jemimah’s back.
They don’t usually snuggle together to sleep
Of course Priscilla lifted her head as soon as I tried to get a picture

 

[Merab]

Finally managed to get photos of Priscilla after her Bank Holiday bum bath and trim.
She now sports a funky, choppy hair do and a nice clean rear end.
We sat together on the bathroom floor, Priscilla wrapped up in a towel chuntering away while I dried her fur.
She also blessed me with a lap full of poo!

 

[Bill & Ted]

There’s nothing like a lap full of poo!

 

[PigglePuggle]

Great new summer hairdo Priscilla!
I was blessed with a special handful of poops while shampooing Piggle's dirty grease gland last Sunday which I was genuinely thrilled by because they were such normal healthy poops it means we can rule out any tummy upsets or diarrhoea causing the mucky bum issue and she must be quite relaxed in the bath and enjoying having her rear end massaged to poop quite that much!

 

[flowerfairy]

Aww Phoebe is so beautiful!

 

[Betsy]

What a good job you have done with Phoebe the Prima Donna!

 

[Merab]

Phoebe is busy trading for the piggy long jump.
She gets incredibly excited about hay in the morning and today when the 2nd heap went in she went from stuffing herself in the first hay pile, over the food bowl and into the 2nd hay pile in one bound.
She can never decide which gay pile or which food bowl is best so she runs & jumps to all of them and then needs a looooong nap to recover.

 

[Merab]

We are so excited - our piggy parcel came today



Slave took ages to open the box and give us something (note from slave - about 1 minute)

 

[Merab]

No pig want to share the dill?
OK - I’ll force myself to eat it all

 

[piggieminder]

Would any pig dare to share the dill?

She is just too super cute for words. Words simply can't describe how cute some piggies are.
P.S. I mean Betsy also, , @Betsy.

Thank you.
I think Jemimah is exceptionally cute too but there is a possibility that I’m biased

Jemimah is absolutely gorgeous! Shame she told Priscilla to get out of my piggy napping bag or I'd have had them both!

 

[Merab]

Haven’t posted here for a while as I’ve been rather caught up with Phoebe.
She is now one week post op. She’s slowly getting her bounce back and her weight seems to be stable. She is also sporting a new fur do.
She no longer has a ginger rump with a parting down the middle. The parting is gone and she has some very fetching white highlights through the ginger.




Priscilla needed a bum bath and trim.
As soon as the cucumber was finished she started complaining. When I lifted her onto the towel on my lap to dry her she decided to wriggle so that she came off the towel and onto my lap! I ended up with a very wet lap. Still - Priscilla has a nice clean bum which won’t last long


And Jemimah - just because she is the cutest, chunkiest teddy girl

The girls getting ready for their outing to the vet





Phoebe had her final post op check. Her weight is creeping up and all is well. She wriggled like crazy just to prove she’s ok now. Loxicom dose reduced to 0.2ml a day for 5 more days.

Jemimah and Priscilla were there for a health check before we move. Both are in excellent health. Priscilla did her “I’m a diva” act and when it came to nail trimming you’d think she was being horribly tortured.

Now - the move north and a new vet to find.

Keen as ever to visit the vets I see! @PigglePuggle should be able to help you with a good vet.

Best of luck with your move! It'll be nice to meet you!

 

[Betsy]

You'll love @Merab's Slave she is the nicest person! I'm gonna miss her at the Salisbury Meets! But look forward to seeing her at the Birmingham Meets (if someone will put me up for the night - lovely @eileen has already offered)

 

[VickiA]

So glad that Phoebe is fighting fit. I hope the girls are helping with all the packing. Look forward to meeting you at one of the Northern meets.

 

[Merab]

I’m looking forward to the Northern meets and meeting more of you lovely people.
@Betsy you make me blush!
Thank you for the compliment

Well you are lovely x

Bill and Ted say “Hope you all have a very stress free move up North” “Despite the many miles between us Jemimah you are still our girl!” ❤❤❤

 

[Merab]

Jemimah says that Miles cannot come between her and 2 such handsome boars @Bill & Ted
Just for you boys here she is chilling in the carrot cottage now that the door has been enlarged enough for her large posterior

Aw, we love your big posterior Jemimah, we have two of our own too! Have a lovely time staying with PigglePuggle x

 

[Merab]

Meet Micah.
He’s still new and confined to his cage until after his health check on Monday.
These are not the greatest pics but show what a little cutie he is.

 

[PigglePuggle]

Aw baby boy floof!

 

[Gem789]

He's a real beauty.

 

[Merab]

Micah’s first playtime while his cage was cleaned out. Thanks to @Betsy I had some extra grids to make him a play pen.
I managed to get some better pics of him too.

The exotic specialist at the Veterinary hospital is happy to neuter Micah now. She did a great job on Phoebe so I ‘m confident she’ll do a good job on Micah.
He goes in next Tuesday- I will still feel anxious.
After his first post - op check he’ll be out of quarantine so on Friday next week I can move his cage next to the girls .

 

[PigglePuggle]

He's such a handsome little floof! Best of luck for his op, but I think any vet who can do such a successful spay should be able to do a routine neutering no problem
When he comes to stay he can have playpen time next to your girls, I have a 2 bunny business playpens plus a secure extra 2 grid high 4 grid wide multiply cable-tied C&C wall that does somehow all fit together into securely partitioned playpens, as long as I dont actually need to use my floor for anything!
