Why is my G-pigs so boring?

Does it take a lot of maintenance. Your tank

The community tank I probably spend a couple of hours a week on as it’s got lots of plants that need trimming and sorting out (aquascaping as they call it!) and weekly water changes of about 30-35%. The goldie a bit less as she destroys everything and eats all of her plants, so mainly just water changes and tidying up (poo machines like pigs and eat lots of veg!).
I’ve had them both 12 years now so know what I’m doing a lot more, I was quite nervous when first started the tank! But definitely have a good read up, it’s making sure the tank is fully cycled before adding fish etc and then just good maintenance really (I do weekly tests with the water too to make sure no ammonia and nitrites). Once you’re a bit more comfortable doing stuff it’s really enjoyable keeping fishies :D

I imagine it's quite relaxing watching them too
 
GPs have their own personality, if he isn't for you, pass him onto the rightful owner! I often describe the match between GPs and their owners like Harry getting his first wand at Ollivanders in HP1. Sometimes, it's just right.

Please don't ever call your GP boring, they just have a different personality to you, and NEVER raise your voice to a shy GP, it'll only make things worse
 
well that's not fair to call him boring :( tofu doesnt run around a lot she mostly just sleeps and chews toys but she isnt boring. there is no way to make him "interesting" the same way there is no way to make people more interesting. he already is. please keep giving him love and attention and dont neglect him for your more "entertaining" piggies cause that'll just make him more shy

No you don't understand. We've had Harold and our other pigs for a year and a half and they all agree with us. Harold is just no fun! They all enjoy each other's company and try to include him but Harold just sits and contemplates. If you saw him, you'd agree!

This makes perfect sense, and made me feel like a bad owner becasue I realise I have never asked my piggies what they really think of each other.
So I created a quick survey to gauge their opinions.

Ruby what do you think of Harry?
Ruby: Harry is so annoying. Honestly what is he thinking with all that slow walking, butt swaying and constant rumbling. I find Harry quite tedious, except when I like him and then he is nice to chat to. He is also nice to try and bite sometimes when i am feeling annoyed.

Harry what do you think of Ruby?
Harry: Ruby is so amazing. Honestly I totally love her, and love showing her my manly butt swaying. I can tell she is really impressed with my manliness. I like Ruby a lot. She is beautiful inside and out, even when she tries to bite me, becasue I know she doesn't really mean it.

Before judging the OP I would suggest you all survey your piggies to find out what they think of their companions.

What a silly metaphor, Harry lost his wand at Malfoy Manor, wasn't much use to him after that eh! :lol!::gd:
