Self Barbering - Cause for concern?

[KimberleysWheekers]

My lovely long haired ginger and white piggy Henry has taken to self barbering and no has choppy parts only 1 inch long :{

Should I worry? He's on his own at the mo as isn't quite 'safe' yet.

Sorry, I don't know but I guess he could just be lonely or bored because he's on his own at the moment. Is he housed next to the girls so that he can see/ interact with them?

 

[KimberleysWheekers]

Yeh he's next to them but he doesn't look up over the cage tray base yet, he's still quite small. He looks up at me when I walk by and talk to him and stuff but doesn't actually pull himself up. Poor boy, he looks like a right scruff!

Poor boy; he most probalby feeling lonely and bored. Is it possible to improvise a little platform for his pellets from where he can look out over the rim and watch the girls?

Yes I could do. We're planning a C&C build shortly.

A little platform sounds like a great idea.

One of my girls barbers herself and occasionally my other pigs. Some piggies just do it out of habit.
