Merab's Herd

[Kellykels]

Finished this morning and came out of my study - glanced into the piggies’ room ........not a pig in sight - anywhere!
All 3 of them were hiding in their big new hay bag - Phoebe guarding the entrance to ensure no pig escaped.

So cute!

Some furniture rearrangement needed.

Quite why a fleece tunnel had to be moved into the hides I do not know.
Piggies made a great deal of noise trying to squeeze past it into the hides!

I find fleece tunnels are the most moved cage wares. I often wonder if they roll around in them or whether they drag them into position.

I find fleece tunnels are the most moved cage wares. I often wonder if they roll around in them or whether they drag them into position.

I watched Micah move said tunnel out of the way by going part way in and then half rolling around until it was moved. I’m still not sure if it’s because that was his intention or because his bum is too big !

Sleepy Saturday - Micah is exhausted!

And the reason he needs a nap?
He was the cause of all the ruckus in the cage this morning.
It began with a very vocal Priscilla who was obviously cross.


She was giving Micah a good telling off for pestering her.
A short while later he was single mindedly chasing her around the cage, determined to hump her.
She was equally determined he was not.
Upshot - Micah succeeded and went off zooming and popcorning happily, Priscilla went and sulked - loudly.

Phoebe eventually emerged from the paper bag to see what was going on upon which Micah decided she needed her eye licking with enthusiasm


It really is better than a soap opera.
All is now quiet until the next exciting instalment

Still sleepy but now showing off a cute little paw

Sounds like someone woke up still full of Christmas spirit

I still don’t know how he got at the Christmas pudding brandy!

A bit of spam for a cold, wet day

I use a sea grass basket for a handful of mixed forage whenever I clean the cage out.



The piggies get very enthusiastic about it



Enjoying their veggies after an exhausting time helping with cage cleaning

Your guinea pigs are adorable! Its great to see them having a great time!

 

[Merab]

Thank you @Joey and chandler the guinea pigs
They are a very happy herd.
I love just sitting next to the cage and watching them play and interact with each other.

 

[VickiA]

What a beautiful clean and tidy cage @Merab's Slave. And lovely photos of your herd plotting how they can destroy that clean and tidy look.

 

[piggieminder]

If there's one thing piggies do well it's plotting!

 

[Merab]

It doesn’t take them long to destroy a nice clean cage - usually before I’ve finished!

It’s the “ Oooh mummy, you just put clean, fresh wood shavings in this half of the cage - look, we’ve pooped for you”

Micah loves his ladies. Half the time he doesn’t know whether to chase, zoom or popcorn so he tries it all.
A typical afternoon goes something like this:
Micah: Boing, boing Priscilla, let me hump you, you are beautiful boing, boing
Priscilla: Get off my face Micah
Micah: Boing, boing, boing, zoomie Phoebe I love you, I want to chase you, I want to lick your eyes boing, boing.

Micah - exit stage left.



Priscilla: Hey Phoebe, Micah’s being a pest again.
Phoebe: I know, he won’t leave me alone.

Offstage noises - rumble rumble, boing, boing

Priscilla: Here he comes again, you go left, I’ll go right. Go!

Micah enters stage right

Boing, boing, rumble, boing

Hey girls here I am! Rumble, rumble Where are you. Oooooooh hay munch munch

And peace is restored........... for now

What a boy! Go Micah, catch those ladies

Blimey! A sweetcorn cob half eaten?!? That wouldn't happen here! My three girlies scoff a corn cob as soon as it enters the cage! My Old Maids clearly need to teach your lot a thing or two!

Ah but when Priscilla realised it was there it was grabbed, taken into a hidey and rapidly finished before the others realised what she was doing.
Micah and Phoebe had been so polite about taking turns too.

 

[Merab]

Micah decided to follow the example of other forum piggies and hide in the hay.



Coriander proved too tempting to stay completely hidden

 

[Merab]

Cage clean, health check and a little lap time.
All weights stable and all piggies healthy.
I tried to get a photo of Priscilla just after I groomed her but the little madam was having none of it, as soon as I put the comb down she started turning round.
For a fraction of a second she looks stunning with her long fur brushed out.

Micah settled happily for some lap time for all of a minute!
Phoebe does not do lap time or being held!

Priscilla reminds me of the woman in 101 Dalmations!

What Cruella de Vill?

That’s it!

Don’t listen to her Priscilla, you’re lovely! Just a lady with lots of attitude!

I love all your babies!
