Merab's Herd

[Merab]

Cage clean, weigh day, health checks and Priscilla needed her bum fur cleaned.
So every pig is a perfect weight, slightly suspicious about one of Micah’s dodgy eyes so will need to keep my eyes on his eye.
Priscilla was not happy about having her bum fur shaved and thoroughly cleaned. She protested but was pretty well behaved.
She sat in my lap for a little while to relax her after the trauma and then there was that warm damp feel!
And no - she was not going to show off her nice short furdo!

Priscilla what are you like?

 

[T-Rex]

Oh my gosh. Only just seen this! Hahaha. They clearly wanted to make it a proper dug in tunnel!

 

[Merab]

I know I’ve already posted these but have been trying to get rid of the black numbers bar with @sport_billy ’s help.
I think I’ve got it cracked now!

 

[Merab]

Thank you.

Happy in the hay pile


I love my strawberry top



Sleepy Saturday

 

[T-Rex]

That looks like lovely hay!

HayBox meadow hay - they love it
I often see the hay pile wander around the cage, apparently all by itself

Looks so much nicer than my last batch.
Love a mobile hay pile! Haha

We are on holiday in our very own holiday cage.
We were very good on the journey to Yorkshire and enjoy living so close to the kitchen. We can keep a careful eye on our slave and explain the rustle of any bag or paper means food. We can do this very loudly.

 

[T-Rex]

Oh what very lucky piggy’s you are to go on holiday! To be so close to the kitchen too! Wow. Good job on keeping the slave well informed.

 

[Merab]

We had an exciting journey home today after our holiday.
Our slave thinks we are very good at keeping her calm when we were stuck in traffic for hours and hours and hours. ( Slave: it took 2 hours longer to do the journey!)
The exciting part was when Slave said we had to stop for a break and as she couldn’t leave us in the car we had to go into the service station too.
We all had a piece of cucumber to nibble on.
We met a man at an RSPB stall who said meeting us was the best thing that happened to him all day. He petted us and told us we’re gorgeous (we already know this ).
It was nice to get back to our big cage after our holiday.

We had fun today. Every pig weighed and checked then it was time for Priscilla’s summer furdo.

Everything ready, trimmer, comb, glasses, bribes


Before and after!
She wriggles, acts as if she’s being horribly tortured so getting this far is a miracle.

Enough fur to make another piggy!

She expressed her gratitude for a cooler fur do in her usual way - she weed all over me.

 

[Merab]

After Priscilla had been sorted out it was time to clean the cage.

This is what 5 days of piggy love does to a big sturdy paper bag.


Piggies all happy and relaxed during and after cage clean.

A new paper bag to destroy!

I am laughing so hard at this. What an ungrateful girl - in this heat she should be thrilled with her new short haircut.

They really are a beautiful bunch of piggies.

They really are a beautiful bunch of piggies.

Thank you.
I think so but I’m definitely biased

 

[eileen]

Lovely piggies!

Waiting patiently for the other end of the cage to be cleaned.



Yummy - more forage

 

[Merab]

Hay nest

I’m not moving today !




If I drag the forage basket over I don’t have to get out of the tunnel

A puddle of Phoebe

 

[Betsy]

Gotta love a Phoebe puddle!

Phoebe

 

[Kellykels]

Phoebe in the hidey looks like she's the prettiest little potato!
Such a cute spudding out pose.
Priscilla is the hay queen.

 

[alpacasqueak]

Oh Phoebe, you’re such a beautiful puddle

Micah just loves his hay pile so much

Playing in the hay is one of his favourite things to do - as well as eating and rumbling at his ladies.

Do they care?
