It was a floortime like any other - bedroom door closed, pet gate across stairs, pigs have free roaming throughout the upstairs.

It all began when they came charging into our 2nd bedroom (which is now a boardgaming room!) like they normally do. After playing "Where the hell have the pigs gone?!" in which they seek ingenious hiding places to give me a heart attack (last night's was under the sofa bed), the pigs sat by my side for a little while.

I was on my laptop and noticed them sniffing around the coffee table. Moments later, a box of their favourite treats has worked its way from the table to the floor and been dragged over to the book cases (looking at masterminding Errol here)...

I'm mid game on my laptop - playing FireWatch - so I assume they'll leave it alone and start playing again.

Well I was wrong...

Somebody nibbled their way into box ends of the box! Errol was smart enough to hide when I noticed, leaving a trail of poops as the only evidence - Binky, however, did not... he was caught in the act! :yikes:

They ate about half a box of their treats! (Selective Naturals Woodland Loops Dandelion and Rosehip). I do believe this act of rebellion was because of the healthier diet they are both on after failing to shed their extra weight they put on over Christmas! :mal:

Oh how funny.... message to Binky... you need to learn from Errol & react more quickly next time. Listen out for when laptop opens & it’s game on... then go go go get those yummy treats & race away afterwards :D x
 
What cheeky piggies and some people say they are stupid animals .........

I'll have to try those treats with my lot!
 
They wants, they see the opportunity, so they gets! :))
Diet? What diet mommy!? :whistle::D
 
Boardgaming room...... I need a shelfie please of it, just spotted Power Grid :) and Mystic Vale :) Possibly Deus?

ha ha! I love it, love the trail of poo's like a messed up Hansel and Gretal! :)) :))

Adore your furry little trouble makers!

Where do you get the treats? Errol you evil mastermind
 
I set up a mesh to stop my rabbit from stealing the piggies pellets from their hutch, the entrance to the hutch was meant to be big enough for piggies only, but I didn't allow for a gentlebun burglar to breach the defences! :))
