Thank you. You can also pm me if wished.

Aw great thanks so much I was stressing

I’m sorry to hear this. I’m afraid we can’t know whether these are happy or unhappy sounds as it is all contextual. We would have to see videos of sufficient length and what is doing at the time to be able to know what she is trying to say. What I can say is that piggies need lots of mental...

...need lots of mental stimulation though and that is best provided by giving them lots of opportunity to do what they do naturally, and that is forage. Piggies spend a lot of their time grazing so ensuring you have large hay piles loose on the cage floor (ie don’t use hay racks or hay bags as...

...cardboard boxes with at least 2 doors cut in for them to run through and chew. I provide large piles of hay and sometimes sprinkle on dried forages for them to forage through. I also sometimes roll up a ball of paper (dye free) and hide some nuggets/forage through it. Basically as many...

...afraid - you are going to throw some hay away. Most of us don’t use any form of hay racks because they stop them from being able to freely forage and can make it harder for them to eat. Most of us just have hay thrown on the floor or in trays which is then thrown away every day or two...

I’ve just placed my first order- dried leaves parcel, pellets and celery stalks! I’m excited to give them to my piggies! Xx

...hidden in the hay pile to further encourage their mental stimulation. (Ie, don’t use food bowls or hay racks as they remove their ability to forage) Cardboard boxes with holes cut in and stuffed with hay are also good enrichment The guides below will help further...

...is in any pain and reducing her hay intake. Crystals are the precursor to stones and can mean the balance isn’t right in the diet. Dried forage and pellets, for me, count as one - if mine get forage they don’t get pellets on the same day. I also cannot say whether 12.5g of high calcium...

...along well. Mel and Cass have taken over from the late Lexi as chief wheekers every time a bag rustles. So far the hoomans have asked if we really want to eat pasta or frozen vegetables but the ladies were successful in getting us alternatives in the form of pellets and dry forage food :yahoo:

I'm so glad all went well. It will take the next two weeks for them to fully sort out their hierarchy. As they are coming into their teens you are highly likely to see a lot more mounting, chasing and general dominance. It’s fine and something they need to do through but it important to keep an...

...he has played in it, run through it, peed on it. It’s just part and parcel of piggy keeping - you are going to throw away some hay. He will forage through and pick out the nicest and tastiest bits, use the rest for the purposes I have stated above and then will want you to refresh it again...

Hi This looks to me like some rather mild, very watery porphyrin stained pees to me as they are very typical for sterile cystitis flares. The urine can test positive for blood or not but the urine is too dilute for any major quantity. It takes a lot more blood in the urine to actually stain it...

I buy my forage and nuggets from Piggie Parcels too.

I agree with wiebke. A bit too low! Mine get a little more than one cup of veg but they get lettuce, coriander, pepper and cucumber daily. I give pellets twice a week but on the other days they get some dried forage leaves instead (sprinkled into hay)

They get forage every day except pellet days - so 5 days forage and 2 days pellets in summer. 4 days forage and 3 days pellets in winter. Even then their pellets are less than a tablespoon per pig . How much forage depends on variety - so things like the dandelion is higher in calcium so they...

...have managed to hold them steady over the last six months by feeding soft timothy hay as their main hay, plus a generous pinch of dried mixed forage and a handful of oat hay daily. I tried lots of the normally suggested tips like porridge oats, banana and bran but they wouldn't touch it. It...

I give them a handful of hay 2 times a day and I have always used food bowls for them but I am ordering a forage mat for the food

I started my online Christmas shopping. So far I have ordered hay cookies, wicker balls, forage baskets, bamboo sticks and timothy hay rings.......I may have gotten a bit sidetracked! Oh, and more pee pads! I came across the term swampy pants courtesy of @PerfectPiggyPaws , I have started using...
