Merab's Herd

[alpacasqueak]

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

Go Priscilla! (Not peeing in your hand but healing so well! )

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

Haha I know your tricks!

Phoebe ... Xxxxx

Phoebe mine!

 

[T-Rex]

Sorry but clearly Phoebe wants to live at mine with all the tunnels she can squish.

 

[Merab]

Dream on folks - Phoebe is very happy here.

Popped in to say goodnight to the piggies yesterday - Micah was looking nice and comfortable in the corner tunnel while Phoebe was looking equally comfortable sitting on top of it!

Tunnel is now in the laundry after 3 days of piggy love.

I’ve dreamt about her here for a while now!

Luigi and Aliona have the same agreement in their new 3 exit one, at least they’re sharing with no squabbles though!
Cleo and Jasper totally destroy the corner one, has to be washed after 2 days! Cleo’s decided the corner of it is her new favourite pee corner!

The moment the coriander arrived Priscilla’s head emerged from the hay pile

It’s funny how they sniff it out from the moment you open the fridge door

True - I had only just walked in the front door with the shopping too.
Micah and Phoebe were at the bars demanding the coriander, Priscilla was eating her way out of the hay pile so piggies were fed - I’m a well trained slave!

Meg goes looking for coriander first. She's not a happy piggy if she can't find any. I'll be planting coriander seeds tomorrow!

We have had fun this morning!
First of all it was Micah’s turn to be weighed first (1475g today ) and decided he needed a nail trim.
As I started to trim the nails myself I suddenly spotted that he has an extra tiny claw on 1 foot. It’s very difficult to spot which is possibly why I missed it.
Husband came and helped in the end as some of the nails were curling.
Micah said thank you to daddy slave by pooping in his hand

Phoebe came next - all is well. Her nails are still fine as the vet did them when she
accompanied Priscilla when she was spayed.
A nice 1230g but she still feels so light.

Priscilla really needed a bum bath!
She was so good although she hates having her bum cleaned. She’s all nice and clean and trimmed now. She expressed her feelings by grumbling and pooping everywhere.
Her weight was 1175 which is well within her normal range.
I do like it when all the piggies are happy and healthy.

Cage cleaned, piggy room sorted out and tidied up, bathroom cleaned up after Priscilla- a very good morning

Breakfast leaf



Bank Holiday piggy spam

 

[Merab]

Managed to squeeze in a quick cage clean yesterday.
Piggies very happy with the arrival of lots of fresh hay and coriander





Then Micah found something special at the other end of the cage



He promptly hoovered up the fennel, then the dill, not sure if he alone ate the cucumber or some pig else found the treats too. Micah had no intention of telling the girls what he’d found!

 

[Merab]

I have no idea why some pig decided trying to get the forage basket into the tunnel was a good idea!

 

[alpacasqueak]

They were trying to get it ready for their breakfast in bed as it’s the weekend!

Tallulah and Ollie have been trying to get an upside down carrot corrage into one of their tunnels, whenever I move it they put it straight back! Then wheek at 3am because the tunnel is under an upturned carrot cottage and they are cold. 3 nights in a row now

 

[Merab]

You do wonder what goes through their brains sometimes!
I moved the forage basket out the way for them.
Nest time I looked it was blocking an entrance again!

Hahaha! That’s so funny! Definitely for some easy access snacks in bed!

We’ve just found another use for our lovely tunnel as well as sitting on it, in it and running through it.


They have clearly worked very hard today!

I think they are trying to bury that three legged beastie

Wow. They certainly have made a mess of that!
