Mods - please can I change the thread name to ‘Merab’s Herd’ ?

Good idea, nothing mini about majestic Jemimah and gorgeous giant floofy Micah!

Merab · Mar 28, 2020

Hard to believe that Micah was such a tiny pathetic and scared scrap a few months ago.
I think he must be around 1 now - he can have his first birthday on 1st April I think.

Aw, how is Micah’s eyes doing, hope he has made a full recovery?
Ted day looking lovely as usual Jemimah

Micah’s eye finally seems to be improving, thanks for asking.
I’m hoping he’ll be given the all clear on Monday.
Jemimah hopes that Ted is recovered from his op and looking forward to his new wives.
He will always be her special love

Thank you for the name change whichever mod did it for me.

What to do while your carefully trashed cage is being cleaned

Wheeee! A full forage basket. It’s all mine.

Micah trying for a haypoke in his other eye :hb:

Hay, yummy hay.
Look mummy - no poops in sight. Wait until we finish the hay

Didn’t know whether to laugh or love that then! Naughty Micah

Got Jess doing the same yesterday, come on girl, you’ve only got the one now! :doh:

I’m actually surprised we don’t get more cases of haypoke.
I was worried that Micah would lose his eye at one point as it wasn’t healing well.
Jess is such a beautiful girl.
Does she cope well with the one eye?

Thank you, I think she’s gorgeous! Yes she copes amazingly now, took her a few weeks to get used to it and not bump into things but now she’s no different to the other two! The lack of hearing affects her more really and have to wake her up sometimes for food or the other piggles pinch it all!
Poor little Micah, so glad he’s doing better now. Just needs to be careful sticking that head in the hay like Jess! :doh:

Ted says Jemimah is his special lady

these young girls are a bit of a handful! Tonight Posh stole my grass and Ginger jumped over me like a spring chicken! So happy Micah’s eye has healed well, poor chap x

Jemimah would like to assure Ted that one day the girls will grow into well mannered mature ladies like her.
Ted will always be her special friend

Beautiful refracted light creating a rainbow effect on Micah’s white fluffy fur.
Phoebe caught some of the effect too
Pictures don’t really do justice to it but wanted to share something beautiful today

Micah saw the vet this morning.
He is now signed off and apart from some scarring his eye is fine.
I waited outside the car while the vet came out and collected him from the front seat.
Paid by phone and the Micah was returned the same way - it worked smoothly but must be tough on the vets having to operate this way.

Social distancing piggy style

Micah and Phoebe doing what they do best - looking cute

Little fluffballs · Mar 31, 2020

How cute!Your piggies look amazing ! :luv:

Merab · Apr 4, 2020

Cage clean this morning plus health check.
All piggies are stable with weight, all behaving perfectly normally and with healthy appetites.
Slightly concerned that when I stroked Phoebe a handful of fur came off in my hand.
I will phone the vet on Monday as a careful check didn’t show anything visible.
Hope that it’s just Micah being over enthusiastic.

Bill & Ted · Apr 4, 2020

Looking as gorgeous as ever Jemimah, lots of love Ted

Spoink · Apr 4, 2020

OK you said it! I'll bring 2 big piggie bags then! Don't lock your door.

Priscilla being cute. She does it so well

Merab · Apr 9, 2020

Priscilla modelling a matching black and white hay bag accessory

It’s my haycube - no-pig else is getting it

I’m hiding - you can’t see me

I am the cutest teddy girl

Phoebe is a very chilled out piggy who is very good at pancaking.
As long as she’s in her cage.
Take her out and it’s another story- she wriggles like a bucket of eels.
So imagine my amazement today when having finally caught her, weighed her and done her health check she suddenly relaxed on my lap and licked my arm

I feel deeply honoured

Beautiful Phoebe, love her little chooken feetsies! So lovely she is relaxing and trusting you today, I love getting that from big pig Clover who always fears the worst- she sometimes looks surprised when everything is done and suddenly its coriander time, and she relaxes and does a shy piggy smile and lets me kiss her ears and feed her treats rather than fighting me like a bag of angry tigers

More piggy spam.
They love their Easter present

It’s not going to last long given that there’s always at least one piggy in there - more often 2

We may have mites!
Plus both Jemimah and Priscilla have lost a bit more weight than I’m happy with.
Had a phone consult with the vet who gave me a dose of Xeno 450 for each piggy and some extra recovery food which I have put into a little dish in the cage - it’s nearly all gone.
I am to call for an appointment if I’m still concerned in a week

We now have funky hair dos and mucky chins.
