Sanity Check - Are We Ready Enough?

A little later to this post but wanted to add from a fairly new owner myself. I live in the US so hopefully you won't have this problem but I've learned from some experience to have a bag of Oxford Critical care on hand along with some syringes, some extra fiber and some saline.They are impossible to get here otherwise online and it takes some time to receive when you need it asap. Also, finding a vet in a time when you don't want the stress of not being able to find one is frightening so maybe just have a vet that knows small animals with hours and info handy for any emergency can be a lifesaver. You may never need them but it can really be a lifesaver, literally, if there is an emergency.

Your babies are adorable! Congratulations-you seem a really great parent for your babies. They look very happy.
 
So the girls have been to see the vet, who said she was "very happy with them". She weighed them, checked their teeth (front and back), had a good listen to the chests, palpated their abdomens and double checked they were both girls. Best guess is that Jemima is less than 2. Jemima is 900gm (post on, apparently) and Fudge is 750gm, but then she's only 8 months old. All good.

And on another front they're getting more and more confident here. My daughter can now stroke them in the cage while she feeds them. They'll fall properly asleep with us in the room. And tonight we had zoomies :love:. Happy pigs :D
 
Hi, your piggies look so cute. Sounds like their doing great.:nod: Hope they have a long and problem free life.xx
