The Wonky Pigs having a pose!

[alpacasqueak]

The piglets are all much happier today after our nightmare on Thursday! All out for weigh in and floortime! But nearly everyone’s lost a bit of weight sadly with the stress, thought at first it was my scales, until obviously someone got on and he’s gained!
Big Daddy Gi doesn’t let stress get in the way of his munching! Up at 1393g today! He is now on a weight loss plan after discovering he had that small lump near his lymph node I’d missed as he has so much podge under there, more blooming exercise as he doesn’t get treats anyway and only has pellets every other day! And that’s barely a tablespoon between him and his wife!


Beautiful Lolo is weighing in at 1047g.


Even enjoying some strokes and fuss today!


Fuzzybum Jasper is 1177g, and that bum isn’t just fuzz these days!




My utterly gorgeous shark Cleo has lost the most, down at 770g bless her. But she’s zoomed around the living room and lots of happy chatter today so I think she’ll be fine, hopefully stuffing her face all day in her nice clean cage
Showing off her cute liccle face and those ginger bits as she gets less agouti and more orange! And that she’s not an evil flesh-muncher all the time and loves some fuss from her mum really!

Thanks for everyone’s lovely messages and support, me and the pigs would be lost without you all!

Beautiful piggies. They all look very happy to be home and will hopefully regain their full lovely plumpness
(except sorry Gi, no more extra plumpness for you..)

Yes it was very embarrassing when Kim the vet talked about his fat layer round his neck and large dewlap! Needs to get on his treadmill the lazy beggar!
Thank you

All very chirpy today bless them! Hopefully lots of munching this weekend to make up for their couple of quiet days!

Oh dear, I've been there! I took Shadow to see Kim and she said "we're carrying a lot of extra weight aren't we..?!" and I thought she meant me at first Shadow has slimmed down a bit since.

Haha yes it’s rather cringe! Glad Shadow has dumped those grams!
Never had an issue with podgy pigs before, more the other way round as they’ve been older! He’s been blocked off from his cage today at floortime to hopefully encourage him to move a bit more and rather than the giant mountain hay pile he normally has he’s got paper bags filled instead so he’s got to work a bit! Just a bit hard as Lolo’s older so don’t want her to go without and drop the grams too!

He’s got a habit of plonking himself in the middle of a hay pile and eating around himself until the next portion added! Lazy gorgeous beast!

Thank you Glad gorgeous Edward is back up again bless him! They’ve all lost about the same, Cleo was 820g at the vets! Obviously Luigi up by 20g They’ll be fine, just feel a bit guilty! But the vet trip had to be done, just wish it was a bit quieter! xx

Glad the little fuzzy bears are doing alright. ❤

My piggies lose weight as well whenever we go to the vets and it usually takes them around 2 days to gain their weight back.

Aah bless them, it’s blooming stressful sometimes getting prodded and poked! Will weigh everyone in a couple of days and hopefully they’re all up a bit. Not Gigi though! Might have to sneak Cleo a tasty oaty meal later though as she’s so small she worries me losing that much!

Day 2 of Fatboy Slim’s weight loss and exercise plan!
We have loo roll tubes and a couple of the chin’s old (very safe, can’t get head stuck) metal hay hangers with hay in (as well as a couple of small paper bags stuffed so Lolo doesn’t have to get neck ache!) around the cage so hopefully someone has to work that fat neck a bit!



He’s actually got a nice muscly back end and is a very sturdy boy, just got a few rolls and bingo wings up top!

He won’t be getting his twice a month (Sunday) oats for breakfast anymore, just Lolo will get snuck those like the carrots he won’t be getting anymore, not that he has them a lot either!
Will be carrying on with his daily sprinkle of dried forage and his usual diet, just cutting those two naughties! And weighed every three days to check our progress!
Come on fatty, you can do it!
