Hi!
I have a bunch of questions, but I did not want to take over the forum with multiple threads, so I thought that this might be a good place to ask.
1. I usually "tuck in" the piggies at around 9 pm, but do not go to bed until 12 pm. I spend the time between in a separate room of the house reading. The problem is, I will no longer be able to use that room, so I will have to use my own. I know that the piggies spend between 9 pm and 12 pm sleeping. If I switch their schedule and have the lights on for that time, will their sleep pattern be interrupted?
2. I usually do not use an alarm clock as I have always woken up at the same time every morning. Lockdown has me way off my normal wakeup time, however, and I need to start setting my alarm. I have never really used one around the piggies before, and I am worried that I will startle them. Any thoughts?
3. Due to Stubbins' past health issues, she has to take supplements (prescribed by her vet, of course). The extra Vitamin C she gets is fed in a treat form, and Mo and Vani always try to steal Stubbins'! The vet actually said that I can give Mo and Vani their own, as well. Stubbins is just the one who needs the added Vitamin C more than my other two. Tonight, I noticed that Stubbins was wandering around instead of eating her treat, which is odd, as she loves them. I soon found out that Vani ate hers as well as her own. The vet said one tablet per pig (as does the box), and I am just a bit worried. Can she take in too much Vitamin C? It is a supplement and not a medication, so I am relieved, but still a bit worried.
