My piggies thought that mint was the Devil's food until they had it mixed in with some dried forage. Now they love it. Just as well as it grows like a weed in my garden. They also love all colours of pepper.
The piggies and Priya are all in charge here! I just do as I'm told!Go for it Ted. Show Aunty Debbie who's boss!
Yes, aren’t they all individuals! Ted won’t touch peppers either, funny lad, would be quite happy to live on grass and dandelion leavesGreat to hear Ted is doing so well.
My piggies love mint leaves, but hate peppers. Each to their own I suppose.xx
How is little Poppy doing? Hope she’s alright, meant to ask earlier this week and forgot!So glad to hear Ted is doing well. My piggies love mint, dill, parsley and the girls like coriander but if I offer them anything like rosemary they stick their middle finger up at me lol.
She's the same. Still got an appetite but still whimpering in pain when she goes for a wee. I started her on cystease today to see if it helps. She's still on her antibiotics and metacam aswell xHow is little Poppy doing? Hope she’s alright, meant to ask earlier this week and forgot!![]()
Aw, poor little Poppy, hope the Cystease gives her some comfort, Poppy and Ted are on the same meds atm. let’s hope the antibiotic kills these nasty infections up xShe's the same. Still got an appetite but still whimpering in pain when she goes for a wee. I started her on cystease today to see if it helps. She's still on her antibiotics and metacam aswell x
Aw, that’s great news! Love it when he’s eating hay, that’s such A good sign and little Freddie too, his mouth must be healing up well. Poor little Zoltan, wish that nasty abscess would heal up, what a nightmare, but he’s happy and he doesn’t know so he’ll happily carry on x Thanks for the update, meant to ask earlier but forgot with the sewing effortsThat's amazing! Love it! All my little charges are doing well. Ted is eating more and more hay and Freddie started to eat some hay today too! Zoltan's tummy still keeps producing lots of pus, but he's happy, so that's all that matters.
Ted fell out with me today, because I cut his nails!He forgave me once I went and picked him some more grass!
He kept getting attached to my jumper, bless him, so they had to be done!He’s not a fan! But a lot better than Bill was, he would shriek the house down as soon as he saw the scissors! A right deva! don’t know why because I have never caught a vein. Ted really needed them cutting when we dropped him off but he was so weak with not eating and that dreadful dental that I felt I couldn’t subject him to any more stress. Thanks for doing that, he soon forgives you if he get some grass. I bet they’ll feel so much better too.
I can imagine, they were very long x gingers has got really sharp nails, doesn’t half scratch you,He kept getting attached to my jumper, bless him, so they had to be done!

What a difference a week makes! He was such a poorly boy, this time last week!Chop chop, where’s my breakfast!
Aw, look at the little fella! We do miss him, I love it when he comes to the bars and asks for breakfast! Aw, his little faceTell Ted we are missing him so much and to get some weight back on now and keep munching x
Aw, you’ve worked your magic on him Debbie, so relieved, has he finished his antibiotics and how’s his chest doing?What a difference a week makes! He was such a poorly boy, this time last week!
He's still on them, but will ask Simon how much longer to give, when we see him on Tuesday. His breathing looks completely normal!Aw, you’ve worked your magic on him Debbie, so relieved, has he finished his antibiotics and how’s his chest doing?
Aw, that’s great news! he’ll be one less to have to worry about, hope Freddie continues to eat for himself and little Zoltan is alrightHe's still on them, but will ask Simon how much longer to give, when we see him on Tuesday. His breathing looks completely normal!
Freddie is eating so much better! I've told him that I will leave him alone and stop forcing him to have syringe food, if he continues, as he's doing! Freddie has to be the worst piggy, ever, to syringe feed!Aw, that’s great news! he’ll be one less to have to worry about, hope Freddie continues to eat for himself and little Zoltan is alright
Aw, great news about Freddie, good boy! He sounds like he’s got over the worst, Zoltan such a lovely piggie, wonder where all that pus is coming from, is it several abscesses draining from the original jaw abscess, poor lad, let’s hope the drugs will eventually get it knocked on the head, these piggies are so resilient and loving life, you just have to do what ever it takes to get them better, you’re doing a great job Debbie xFreddie is eating so much better! I've told him that I will leave him alone and stop forcing him to have syringe food, if he continues, as he's doing! Freddie has to be the worst piggy, ever, to syringe feed!
Zoltan is great, but still lots of pus!
