Smokey and Bacon!

He's eating fine still, if his appetite goes down at all I will take him to the vet
 
Hello! I've just refilled the hay (full clean of the hay tray) and while I got lots of popcorns from Bacon (who is quite partial to popcornng) Smokey started biting the cage bars, any advice on stopping this?

I think they would pee on it, but sure, I'll give it a go, because we're probably going to Pets at Home tomorrow

on floor time mine have a huge fleece to run on with loads of logs tunnels and hideys they never really come.off it, they feel much safer where they know they can grip and run flat out 👍
 
Oh I totally forgot about that because we never went, we're probably going to Home Bargains and/ or Pets at Home tomorrow so I'll get one then :nod::nod::nod:

Ok everybody I’m quite concerned 😔😢
So I had Smokey and Bacon our for lap time and I let them out on my duvet cover (which I don’t do often) and built them a little fort with some cushions and a blanket, and Bacon kind of flopped over, I’m not sure whether it is popcorning or not but he did it multiple times, they’re back in their cage now and I refilled their hay and he’s eating fine, help me please!

Hi, late reply to this one but my girls love to roll over on their backs and flip around when I put them in a blanket for lap time. It took me by surprise when they first did it as I've never seen pigs do this before! But they roll around when they are excited to be in their blanket or sometimes in their beds. Hope this helps!

Mine have occasionally bitten the bars and I think it’s a “Please let me out to play”,
“Please feed me - now”. or
“I think I’m a hamster”
 
Smokey tried to climb his cage bars once, so possibly the 3rd, I was amazed!
 
They used to quite like full popcorning but most of the time it’s just head popcorning now 😆
 
Just caught up with this thread, don't know how I've been missing it. Love all the gorgeous photos, Bacon is very handsome and I have a very soft spot for silver agoutis so I really love Smokey.
 
I’m a tad concerned they’re going to fight, they’ve been nonstop teeth chattering and chasing for 5/10 minutes, they’ve calmed down a little bit, do you think this is hormonal?
 
I've gotten adventurous! The piggies are having lap time on my blanket! I'm taking this as an opportunity to check poo and pee, also activity levels
