Pigging Out

Rocky's doing good. He weighed 1405g this morning. He's basically back to normal and has been more active. Still gives me the stink eyes though everytime I try to pick him up. 🤣 He's going back to Cat&Rabbit on Tuesday and hopefully will be signed off for the dental issues. 🤞 I need to cut their nail later when they all wake up. I'm sure loads of moaning and stink eyes directed to me again. 🙄
 
I was cleaning out the piggy area and this is what Vegas has done to their chair. 🤦‍♀️😑 She managed to cut one chunk of the chair. After having 9 piggies, she's the only one who managed to do that. I had to stop her loads of times tonight from chewing different parts of their hutch, puppy pads, and newspaper because she's getting bored of waiting for their nightly treats! It was still 30 mins before their treats time. She's getting more and more demanding every day. :ple::help::hb:

I know! She's so naughty. I picked her up a few times and told her off for what she was doing but her face looks so innocent and showing me she was a good girl! I was cutting their nails earlier and she kept on biting my hand. 🙄 Didn't manage to cut Sierra's coz she kept on hiding and won't let me catch her. I have to cut her nails tomorrow. Rocky was very easy though. He was whimpering but just gave him grass while I was doing it and he was fine.

Whimpering 🤣 he doesn’t suffer silently but is easily pacified 😁
Could you trap Sierra inside the hutch or under their chair?
 
She stayed under the chair the whole afternoon today. She won't come up and if I remove the chair, all their mess would just annoy me. 😂 So I let her be. I can get her when she goes to one of their beds or when she goes to their hutch. One time I tried to get her out from the chair, she peed on my hand!

Whenever I need to weigh Rocky in the morning, I always have to try and poke him out from the chair. He would hiss at me at first when he see my hand. Then he would run to their cage. I always tell hubby to weigh him when he wakes up and before he goes under the chair, but he says "not my job"! 🤦‍♀️

The piggies all go under the chair whenever I greet them in the morning when I wake up because they know I can't easily get them from there! But hey they have no problems going to my foot or following me around when they want food. They are so clever that sometimes I get annoyed. 🤣🤣

Yeah..Sierra peed on my hand. She would pee on Rocky as well whenever Rocky would try to hump her. She pee a lot as well! She also like peeing by their food bowls. Sometimes I pick up their bowl and it's sticky! 🤦‍♀️🙄

Cookie was the one who used to scream bloody murder whenever I picked her up, or when I had to give her a bum wash. Meemee used to scream murder as well during bum wash when she was alive, plus give my arms scratches at the same time. 😑 I always have diva piggies.

Deedee, Bunny and Prince were the sweetest piggies I had who didn't complain having cuddles. 😊

Meemee was my first fatty piggy. I can't remember how much she weighed the most but we adopted Timmy because of her being a lazy potato. We wanted a young boy to chase her to be active. Unfortunately we didn't realise that Timmy had hernia when we adopted him. He only showed symptoms after having him for 2 months. We found out the hernia after an exploratory surgery at Birch Heath Vets after seeing 8 different vets. He passed away after the operation. We only had him for 4 months.

Meemee was our 1st dental piggy as well. She was the reason we found out about Cat & Rabbit from the forum. We had to go every 2 weeks that time. The longest interval was only 6 weeks. All in all, we went to C&R for around 21 months.

Update on Rocky:

We went to Cat & Rabbit yesterday for Rocky's follow up dentals after 4 weeks. Kim did a full checkup on him again and said he is a fully healthy piggy all throughout. No problems with his teeth too, apart from a bit of trimming to his incissors. She can't say what really caused his dental problems to start last time but she said there isn't any sign of abscess or ulcerations at all. So she puts it as something we really can't understand why it happened. So overall, Rocky is back to normal. We didn't have to make another appointment so fingers crossed it stays like that. 🤞

He weighed 1375g the other day which made me worried but weighed him before he slept that night and he was around 1420g. Yesterday he was 1385g yesterday and 1408g this morning. It's just probably a case of him sleeping through the night or can't be bothered eating loads when he wakes in the middle of the night why he went to 1375g the other day. But he's been eating and running during the day so nothing really to worry about. 😊

Also managed to see Debbie by the parking lot before we left and had a small chat. She had 3 carriers yesterday and hopefully all will be better for her piggies.
 
So glad it went well and hopefully no more problems with his gorgeous Rocky nashers! 🤞 He just wanted you to socialise really, he had a plan! :doh: :)) Aw that’s great news though, C&R must be such a massive trek for you guys! x Big sloppy kisses to my lovely Rocky boy xx

It's quite a long drive (usually around 4hrs each way depending on traffic) but not much traffic at the moment. We even had to hang around in the services for an hour because we arrived an hour early in Northampton. Took more than an hour waiting for Rocky to be done though. So we still got back home late because of it. 😁 It was nice to have Mcdonalds again after not having it since the pandemic started. 😂😂

Wonder how many times you’ve done that trip?! :yikes:XD Your piglets are so lucky to have you! Poor you though, such a pain waiting around too, hope you enjoyed the McDonald’s! :D:)) x

Oh we've lost count! We've been going to C&R since 2015. And for the next 2 years of that, we were going for Meemee's dental every 2 weeks most of the time. The longest she managed was just every 6 weeks of dentals but I think that only happened 2x. It was usually every 2 weeks or 3 weeks, ocasionally every 4 weeks if we were lucky. That's why hubby is very well known with the staff, especially the receptionist Debbie. You've witnessed their interactions when we met there. 😂😂 That's why when we went 4 weeks ago, he said he can't annoy Debbie or Pam coz we can't get inside. 🤣🤣
