Wow Micah you gorgeous chunk, you’re beating Luigi! 1350g at his last weigh in! So glad beautiful Priscilla is almost healed and doing so well! And Phoebe is as always! x

Cage cleaning today.
Great excitement at a fresh pile of hay



And then time for a nap in a nice clean tunnel

 

[Merab]

Micah - sound asleep with his face in the forage basket!

 

[T-Rex]

The perfect place to nap, as there’s snacks incase he wakes up peckish!

And no pig else can get at it!

The perfect plan!

Micah you great BIG hunky chap and soooo handsome with it

 

[Merab]

I have wondered why the fleece cube was suddenly getting so squashed in a corner.
The mystery was solved today when I spotted Phoebe sitting on top, just on the one side as Priscilla was sound asleep inside it.

Later Micah was seen making a great drama out of getting it back in shape so he could get inside.

That is just the best photo. Asleep face down in the forage.

Ooooooh lambs lettuce. I love lambs lettuce.
Priscilla - I thought you hated lambs lettuce?
No - I love lambs lettuce, you should buy it more often
Priscilla you always used to hate it.
Oh that was only because Jemimah hated lambs lettuce so I did too. Now Micah loves lambs lettuce so I do too.


I love my hay. Did you watch me hay dive? Did you watch me eat my way out of the hay pile?
Do you know I love my hay?



I’m beautiful - what else needs to be said?

 

[Merab]

A bit more spam - you can tell I’m having a day off!

A well deserved day off after a hectic and tiring week! What better way to enjoy it that with your piggies? Oh and Mr Merab's Slave too (obviously!).

Isn’t it funny! Jess hated mint and dill and wouldn’t go near it so the porky pair wouldn’t touch it either (couldn’t resist basil), now they both love it! These little pigwigs like to confuse us!

 

[Merab]

A rare sight - sharing nicely!

So comfortable- just a lazy Saturday morning

Just a shame I've had to cancel my holiday to see you again this year!

Just a shame I've had to cancel my holiday to see you again this year!

Yes - I’ve told them they’re safe from the pignapper for another year

 

[Bradshaw Piggies]

Makes my day seeing your gorgeous piggies!

 

[alpacasqueak]

All such gorgeous piglets but that fourth pic of beautiful Phoebe, oh my goodness, just want to her so much! That little face!

 

[Merab]

I can’t believe how long Priscilla’s fur is - talk about COVID hair!
She’ll need a good all over trim as soon as it’s warmer

Phoebe doesn’t do cuddles.
She’s a terrible wriggler.
Last week she would not stay still while I was trying to weigh her - the scales jumped all over the place. All I was sure of is that weighed somewhere between 1100 - 1200 g!

Of course but she may need to spend a few (!) days here

A lady never reveals her weight Phoebe

Thanks for the offer @Betsy however it’s a long way for you to travel and I wouldn’t want to put you out.
Besides, there’s an excellent guide on the forum for fur cutting so I can use that.
Have you seen it?

I think I have!

So Priscilla had a gentle trim today as her fur is so long.
It was curling under her and coming up the other side!
Bum successfully trimmed but she needs a bum bath as soon as I have time.
Sides partially trimmed as she decided that she’d had enough.
Her weight is up a bit at 1200g but she hasn’t stopped eating since her spay.
Her tummy isn’t bald any more and the wound is healed.
She expressed her gratitude for all the care I give her by weeing in my hand
