Merab's Herd

[Flutterby]

They are all gorgeous!

 

[Merab]

The blue fleece house is a favourite.

Micah got it today - it smelled of the girls and proved very effective in catching him after playtime

 

[Sophie B]

Aww! Where did you get it?

 

[Merab]

It was either Pampered Piggies or Ziggys - I can’t remember now.
It’s been a firm favourite since I first had it

I may have to get one for a garage warming pressie for when we move.

Do you have a moving date yet?

 

[Betsy]

Do you have a moving date yet?

Nope! Hope to Exchange Contracts very soon. It didn't help that our Solicitor sent an email addressed to "Mrs and Mrs" not "Mr and Mrs " and we both had to sign it but there was only a space for me to sign and not my OH. He wasn't impressed and sent back a very strongly worded email.

Quite right too

Only one more week until Micah can join the girls.
He weighed in at 805g today so he’s gaining weight nicely.

Roll on next Tuesday

 

[Merab]

Cage cleaning is just sooooooo exhausting

 

[Merab]

What? You mean we have to share this?

 

[Merab]

Well I don’t have to share my veggies for the next 5 days

 

[Bill & Ted]

Well I don’t have to share my veggies for the next 5 days

You can come and share our veggies anytime Jemimah Bill and Ted

 

[Merab]

You can come and share our veggies anytime Jemimah Bill and Ted

You will always be my favourite big handsome boars Bill & Ted.
Love from Jemimah

 

[Merab]

Micah is so desperate to be with the girls


Tomorrow afternoon Micah when I have time to deal with you all and extend the cage.

Do the girls care?



So come and have some cuddles Micah

 

[piggieminder]

I've got everything crosed tomorrow goes well for little Micha.

 

[Merab]

Thank you - I’m fairly confident as they’re happy next to each other and they’re used to the smell of each other.

Will report tomorrow

 

[PigglePuggle]

So excited for you and little Micah! Please keep us posted, paws crossed it's a successful bonding x

 

[Betsy]

Hope the girls like you Micah!

 

[Sophie B]

Oooh how exciting. I look forward to hearing all about the bonding, of course pictures too!

 

[Bill & Ted]

Bill and Ted say “you lucky boy” and have fun with all those beautiful girlies, especially Jemimah

 

[Merab]

We have had a very exciting afternoon introducing Micah to the girls.
They were all out playing together while I reorganised and extended the cage.
Micah rumbled and strutted pretty much non stop.
He attempted to hump all 3 girls who were not too keen on that.
We had chasing - noise - and at one point Priscilla was spotted with a tuft of fur in her mouth!
However there was no sign of injury and I can’t see where the fur came from.

They are now all in the larger cage together.
We’ve had some chattering and chasing but nothing too worrying.

The cage is now 6x2 with a 3x2 add on to make the L shape.
3 bowls, 3 water bottles, 3 fleece tunnels and 3 wooden hideys, a hay tunnel and a carrot cottage with extra large door ( to accommodate Jemimah’s bum) means they have plenty of space, nowhere to get trapped and enough hay piles and food so no pig can’t eat.

It’s very quiet at the moment- they’re probably exhausted.

 

[PigglePuggle]

So glad the bonding went well! And what a lovely new cage set-up, lucky piggies
Hopefully Micah will calm down a little after the initial excitement of meeting the ladies...

 

[Sophie B]

Glad it went so well, lucky piggies with such a large cage

 

[Bill & Ted]

Aw, so glad it all went well for little Micah and the girlies x That mini herd is getting bigger

 

[Betsy]

Lucky Micah having all those lovely ladies. Did you use those C&C grids I sent you?

 

[Merab]

Lucky Micah having all those lovely ladies. Did you use those C&C grids I sent you?

Yes - the grids have been used to make a playpen and are now allowing for the larger cage setup.
Thanks - they've proved very useful

 

[Betsy]

Hoped they would be. Glad you can use them.

 

[VickiA]

I am delighted that Micah has had such a fabulous afternoon wooing his ladies. Poor lad looks exhausted. Looks like a good job well done

 

[Merab]

Mostly quiet today.
At breakfast time when Phoebe woke up Micah chased her round the cage.
He did the same again later - I think he’s decided that she’s his special love. Not sure Phoebe agrees.
They seem happily settled together.
Enjoying their midday snack
