Hi there It sounds as though your piggy is developing foot spurs (a build up of dead skin), harmless and easy to deal with. This link should help. http://www.guinealynx.info/feet.html#spurs If however there is swelling and pain in the foot it could be the start of bumblefoot...

Yesterday was a very exciting day - for the first time since I was young(er) I got to choose the pigs that came to live with me! As a rescue there are always pigs that need to stay due to issues that they arrive with, they become my babies. In the past 10 yrs, 3 pigs have stayed because I...

It's so lovely to hear from you and that you are doing so much better. Mr Scruff is still here with me, I have plans to introduce him to a rather forceful young lady at the rescue in the next few days, he's been a bit too rude and insistent for the lady pigs that have come here dating. He's...

I do hope you find a super home for your boys - I would have them in a heart beat (and will if no other homes come forward), a forever home here with me. Suzy x

I'm using puppy pads under hay and for the hospital pigs I use puppy pads under vetbed. I'm very happy with them, the best value on the high street is in B&M, thirty 60cmx60cm for £4.99. HTH Suzy x

I'm too tired from cleaning out 50 pigs to be very diplomatic. Perhaps I am better off closing my doors and stuffing all my pigs in P@H so that those that don't even think to home from a proper rescue might actually look at them. I've had it with people who think P@H AC is a rescue and I...

I would double check the measurements before ordering - the pic does not fit the dimensions. Looks to be approx 100cm long. Suzy x

What was the spot on product used? Did you complete the 3 treatments required to clear a mite infestation? Non-ivermectin products and creams will do nothing to clear mites; Xeno 450 or Easimec are the only product I use for mites - I've tried more or less every type of product over the...

It looks like normal skin pigmentation that you may be able to see it for the first time due to the hairloss - most likely from skin mites or skin fungal problem. If you have not treated for mites/lice recently I would strongly recommend that you do so. If you are not experienced enough to...

Piggy noses and lips (teeth/tongues are a bonus). Baldric asks if it's OK to show his other best bits, but he'll post his lips for now. Suzy x

The chances of it working out are very very low. The chances of the bond between the existing pairs being broken and ending up with boys that will not tolerate each other any longer is much higher. I would not allow the boys to mix or have cages where they can see/smell the other pair. The...

Yep - sow dating can be a noisy affair, subtitles on the TV are essential! I hope the transition to a fully bonded trio is a quick one - it can take a couple of weeks to cement the bonds. Suzy x

I'm so glad you're all enjoying JohnnyPig as he would have liked. I'm going to be a bit self indulgent and pop links to my favourite threads here so they are all in one place for me to find and look through when I'm in need of a JP fix...
