Pearl has obviously found herself in the wrong place at the wrong time and recieved a bite. Luckily its only a graze from someone snatching a mouthful of hair, rather than a puncture wound. I've cleaned it up and put a small dab of flamazine on it for now and I'll see how she does, she can...

I mentioned on another thread that Perry was being fussy with his hay and not eating enough. I made a vet appointment for Monday as had a feeling we might need it and unfortunately he’s done a couple of toilet squeaks and there was a little bit of blood in his urine. Also a stale smell :( He...

Just a quick update on this: We upped her to 20ml per session as of midday yesterday, which seemed to help, and she gained some weight earlier on today in the space of an hour and a half which is a good sign! We took her a vet again today as a precaution given her frail state over the past...

I agree with weepweeps.Skinny pigs get grazes and scratches more easily than haired piggies.Monitor closely,as sometimes a benign scratch can turn into fungal .Unfortunatley skinny pigs are prone to fungal/skin infections.ive a skinny pig at present whos scratching herself and has white spots...

...@Qualcast&Flymo Apparently she'd escaped from her outside run and headed into an outbuilding where she lived for a week, sneaking out to graze on grass, before her owners cottoned on and started leaving food for her in the outbuilding (just as well, it's winter, cold, wet, sometimes snowy)...

We just took the pigs to the cottage for a week... here's some pics of Misa's first trip outside! She enjoyed all the grazing but didn't seem to enjoy the car ride... she actually wheeked on and off for the entire trip, which kind of baffled me, as none of our previous pigs have done that...

Thanks so much! I really appreciate it. In regards to an update as we’re now Wednesday this situation has changed so much! He was seen by a vet Monday and his weight was 892g and given enrocare, as well as infant calpol alongside the cisapride and meloxaid (dog 0.3ml) he was still not eating...

So lucky that your piggies get access to fresh grass in the garden! I would love that! I definitely give a bit more than a cup of veggies ( very very varied) per pig and different types of hay 24/7.... it is hard for me to understand some people saying do not give more than 1 leave of lettuce...

The first thing to note is that the water intake from piggy to piggy varies. Some drink a little, some drink a lot. The need to drink comes before the need to eat and they will never deliberately dehydrate themselves. As the need to drink comes first, you will know that a piggy is definitely...

Peacefully grazing "together". Hey, it's better than Zoom 🙃

Part of the issue, as well as age related loss of muscle mass, is that as they age their bodies become less efficient at absorbing and utilising nutrients. Also they rest more, so spend less time grazing and do everything slower, including eating, so eating enough hay to maintain their weight...

My piggies get their veggies for breakfast along with a top up of hay. In the evening they get big piles of hay to munch on throughout the hours around dusk and dawn when it is their most natural time for grazing. I think feeding their veg first thing in the morning is also beneficial in the...

Hi hi :) I have a question about petting. One of my pigs, Fen, is very, VERY happy to be pet and enjoys it a lot (she lays down pretty much instantly and lets her little fat body spread out, it’s really cute). But my other pig, Kino, struggles with it. Every time I even so much as graze the...

Thanks, yes it does just look like a graze, he seems fine in himself!

2 hours in, just about. Mandy is very chatty and gets very talkative when Peggy gets near her. They rested in opposite corners and then were grazing on the hay pile near each other. Both seem kind of jumpy. I get nervous when they start noticing each other and Peggy definitely is...

All the best. Please weigh him daily on your kitchen scales first thing in the morning and then supplement as necessary over the course of the next 24 hours. All the best for his vet trip.

I am glad if my guide can help to make a very difficult and sad time easier on you. Fresh green grass is best and often goes down best. Make sure that it is unsprayed and dog pee-free. Readigrass can be used as a treat but it is too rich to be the main source of hay fibre. In essence, it...

I live in the UK so not really heard of the “Wattle Plant” but I did see this on the internet, so I would be very cautious. There are over 850 different types of Acacia apparently. I wouldn’t let them graze it Are Acacia trees poisonous? - Google Search

Dear little Hutch was helped over the rainbow bridge this morning. Hutch, you came to us at Christmas 2022 as a bereavement foster companion for depressed Bertie. Little Wheekers pulled out all the stops during the festive holiday period and we welcomed you to Piggie Mansions. With your cloudy...

Might have to re-think our morning routine because without the pellets it went a bit chaotic! Usual routine; - give pellets straight away to stop Perry bar biting and getting himself worked up whilst we get the hay ready. - remove pellet bowls, put in hay pile. Lola eats hay but Perry resumes...
