Ted’s stopped eating - a terrible week

OMG. OMG. Ted is famous. I just saw him on Facebook!

I know, I know, (I'm a bit anti Facebook 😬) but just looked up TEAS. So yes, bit behind the times :fog:. Please don't judge me too harshly 😔
yes, I don’t do Facebook either (I did open an account so I could message rescues when I was trying to find boar dating) but haven’t a clue really about it! Can just about negotiate my way round it and message and everything but I find the layouts really strange.
 
Yeah. And posts are mixed up. I don't navigate it well. I can never see how to find who I follow 🤷‍♀️. I don't post on there, or 'like'. I signed up to it because the football team my son played in put all their fixtures on it and nowhere else! I also sponsor a guide dog and the updates for her are on a private page. I just came across the video of Ted munching on his grass that Debbie had posted in the forum. He's one handsome boy ❤️

Well he looks a bit thin and poorly on it but when he’s well he is a rather handsome chunky boar and full of character. he’s had a really bad time of it this last couple of months with loosing his soul mate brother Bill, then
the castration, problems with teeth and lock down, then a poor dental that didn’t work and left him weak and unable to eat at all, then this nasty chest infection which poor Debbie has had to deal with on top of his teeth. Let’s hope once he’s fully recovered and another dental next week by Simon he’ll be on the mend x
 
Come on Ted get well soon so you can marry your lovely girls.

I joined facebook so I could take part in The Potteries Rescue Auctions but I found it hard to navigate. I didn't like it at all I ended up with strange messages in my emails from people wanting to be my friend so I only used it for one auction and haven't been on it since.

Yes it’s a bit off putting all these people I’ve never known appearing, I know it’s linked up with other people’s facebooks you do know, but you feel a bit strange ignoring everone

If you delete people from the 'people you might know' list, even more people pop up! The fact that I have NO FRIENDS on Facebook makes why I might know anyone a bit of a mystery 🤷‍♀️
 
Oh dear, I gave Ted some mint! He wasn’t impressed. He made it quite clear, what he thought of it and insisted it was removed immediately!
😂 No he’s not a fan of mint! he likes most herbs rosemary, dill, parsley, fennel fronds, but mint is a no no! Did he give you the stink eye!
 
One of the bags from the Piggy Parcel I bought last month contains rose and mint. In the package I previously bought that included that, I thought they were eating it so I bought a bigger bag last month. Last week, when I put it in their bowl, along with the other leaves, hubby said they seem to be turning away from the bowl of leaves. When I saw it, it looks like when they were sniffing the mint, they turned away! Now I don't know what I would do with the bag of rose and mint! 😂

My girlies loved the Piggie Parcels Mint but Ted’s not very adventurous, he loved the rose though
 
Jemimah is glad to hear that Ted is eating well again.
She looks forward to him being back to his big chunky handsome self.
She would like to thank @furryfriends (TEAS) for looking after her favourite boar so well

Aw, thank you so much Jemimah x I’m sure Ted is missing his little chats with you ❤ I’m sure he’s on the mend now and going to see uncle Simon for a little more dental work on Tuesday, so should be eating a little hay soon too x

Here’s a Ted photo when he was a chinky boar

Ted was eating some hay this evening! 😃
 
Aw, such wonderful news, he has really tuned a corner if he’s eating hay!
He's obviously feeling really settled here now. Attitude is starting! I came down this morning and he was pottering about. I went straight out to the cabin, to get Freddie. I came in with Freddie and gave him some parsley and Ted was straight up at the bars, looking to see what was on offer. I gave Ted some parsley and he gave it a look and walked away, so I shot back outside to pick him some grass. I came back with the grass and as I put that into his cage, he looked at me, picked up the parsley and started to eat that! I like piggies with attitude! 🤣

Aw, he’s getting his mojo back, the little monkey! He’s been so flat it’s really good to hear he’s giving you the runaround (sorry, but he is sounding more like his old self) Hope all the piggies are alright and making progress. Poor little Freddie and Zoltan are such brave chaps, hope it’s coming good for them now too x

Yes I’ve had similar, thought they’d hate the mint (as fussy Jess hates anything strong smelling and only Luigi likes it fresh) but all love it and the gorgeous smelling rose petals are being ignored! Normally love them! :doh:You just can’t win!:))

Go Ted you gorgeous boy! 🥳keep on munching that hay my man! :D:love:
