Hi,

I’m new to this forum and got my baby piggies Barry and Scott about 5 weeks ago. I just have a quick question to ask about them. Ever since he first arrived Scott has been quite good with being handled, everytime I pick him up he just settles on my knee and gives the occasional very quiet purr, he’ll stay very still and quiet for as long as I have him there, usually about 20 minutes. He rarely makes any squeaky noises at all, whereas Barry, although very restless and unwilling to sit and be cuddled, and wanting to go exploring round my living room, making a lots of excited noise at everything just seems a lot happier… Is Scott miserable? Or just very quiet? Is this normal? Am I just been a deranged paranoid new guinea mum?! 98)

To be fair when he's not on my knee he goes off exploring too, in fact he usually leads and barry follows behind him all noisy wanting to know where he is going..

Advice/reassurance will be greatly appreciated! :)
 
Sounds like Scott is just content. I have 3 content Pigs Flora, Fleur and Pudsey and three explorers Sunshine. Twinkle and Eccles. Barry will settle down, he is just nosy. :)

Keep doing what you are doing, as he gets older he should become content too. :)
 
Hi and welcome to the forum.

Love your piggies names. I have six piggies and all of them are very different. Trinny loves to sit on my knee and do nothing. Susannah and Honey will sit a while put then get bored and want to be off. Jimmy and Joe and softeys just want to snuggle up into my hair and have lots of cuddles.

Murphy the tamest pig in the world climbs all over me and gets comfy where he wants sometimes sitting on my shoulder putting his bum in my face.

I wouldnt worry about your little piggy as long as he is eating and looks healthy i would not be worried maybe he is just settling and is a bit quiet.

Like i say they are all so different. :smitten:

If you have any pics of your boys we would all love to see them. :smitten:

Thank you both, I think I just needed some reassurance that everything is ok!

I'll get some pics up shortly.. Barry is multicoloured browns and white with short hair and scott is half guineapig half ginger brillo pad.. looks like i poke him regularly with a cattle prod bless him. :smitten:
 
This is the right place to be for reasurrance and any questions you might have. I have only had piggies since August and learnt so much already from people here.

No matter how silly a question sounds i always ask and everyone is great.

Hope to see pics soon, they sound lovely :smitten:
