All 7 Of My Boys!

[Laura mason]

Well you were becoming a pain lol only kidding chick a Dee I know how you feel! But that's AMAZING news I'm so pleased for you! I'm all excited now lol half the time I bribe hubby with a curry and beer his quite easy like that lol

All of my cages are in my living room and because we're building as well you can't really see the floor lol suits me less hoovering

So when are you picking up your new baby? Xx

Hee Hee...wish my hubby was that easy! .
Not sure, definitely not till I'm back from camping which will be Friday. I then need to decide whether just to buy the table and legs and put c&c grids on top and just get him asap and finish the cage later, or wait until the Perspex etc comes and have it all built ready before getting him! Again my head says wait and have everything in place so I don't need to disrupt him to finish his cage, but not sure how long that will take as not sure if I can get the Perspex local or will need to order it. My heart says just get him as soon as you can! Lol.

U have all that in your living room! I couldn't even fit one in mine! . Would love a bigger living room! I'm jealous! Lol x

Well I think you know what I would do asap for me!

I bet you will be thinking about him throughout your whole holiday, I know I would be

Yep all of those cages are in my living room, I love having them all so close though to be honest. I feel like they interact with me more as I'm closer or so I hope lol

I can see you popping too ikea tomorrow xx

 

[Laura mason]

Oohh I didn't even think of going to ikea tomorrow! your such a bad influence! Lmao.

Planning on going up to see the piggies tomorrow with some goodies and will have a chat with Cerys about the wee man.

I'm so jealous of your set up! I'd love my piggies downstairs so they are always there. It would be lovely to be able to lift them out for a cuddle when your watching a movie or just when you feel like it instead of having to go upstairs...I don't even have a tv upstairs! I can't really bring mine down as I think the dogs would eat them . If I do ever bring them down I have to lock the dogs in another room or outside and then they go daft lol. I usually bring one into bed for a cuddle each night tho .
I really need to buy or make a waterproof lap pad, as occasionally I get pee'd upon and have to go change my pj's....flop especially seem to like doing this just after he gives me a lovely kiss! Wee monkey! I used to think I just picked him up at the wrong time, but even when I keep him out after, he pees on me again about 10 mins later!? The rest of them always manage to hold it!

How's Oakley settling in? x

Lol flop sounds like s right character maybe his just marking his territory? I have made loads of pee pads I never in my life thought I would own a sewing machine but it has been a god send! Do you have a b&m near you? They have a two pack of fleece for £3.99 then I get a mattress protector £5.99 (double) and a waterproof terry towelling protector £6.99 again double I can make loads out of these!

I bet your puppies know why they are been locked out and that's why they go crazy bless them.

Oakley is settling so well thank you he is easily the most laid back piggy that I've had ever! But I feel so sorry for him been on his own, hopefully his date on Saturday will go well! Barbara said that she has got a 8 week old baby to try him with as well just in case it doesn't go well with Jeremy I have got everything crossed it works out well, I can't have sows as all of my boars are very hormonal lol

I must admit it's lovely having them all in our living room, but I've seen your set up and that looks fab!!

When do you go away?xx

Awe thank you . It works really well, but I'd love the pretty white ones with Perspex that u are making...and have them all in my living room .
I've been very lucky that my boys don't even seem to even notice the girls are in the same room, they didn't change at all when the girls arrived!
I'm heading away on Sunday morning so can't wait, but typically I'm doing Friday night shift so not sure how all the packing is going to go with a sleepy me on Saturday lol.
Jeremy looks and sounds like a wee dote so fingers crossed it all goes to plan . How long are they together before you decide whether it's working or not?
Yeah I've bought that fleece before for the back of the liners I made, but there ain't much choice in colours at my b&m unfortunately. I'm completely addicted to buying fleece things even tho I have a sewing machine and could make them myself. I did make loads at the start, but find I don't have a great deal of time with the girls and work etc, so now usually just stick to pee pads and the odd fun thing. I've recently just bought a strawberry crash pad for the boys and I'm waiting on a flower fairy one for the girls, and 2 cupcake beds! Also hoping to get a toadstool and glasto pad if she starts making them again . I seriously need to stop spending! My bank account is taking a battering! Lol X

Awwww I wish my boys would use cute fleece items like those! I have bought cuddle cups and pouches but none of them like/or know what to do with them! The cuddle cup has been used as a trampoline to get to higher ground or I've caught one of them lying underneath it lol they like anything wooden bridges, houses etc mainly so they can chill & chew at the same time or sit on top of them and keep watch lol

Oakley & Jeremy will be put together for an hour or so initially to see if they get on, if they do then I have to leave Oakley for a week (reluctantly) so they can get to know each other abit more, mind you I'm glad that Barbara does the dating as I've never had a single piggy before all of mine have come already bonded.

If I were you I would do some packing today, make it abit easier! Mind you I once packed all of my hubbys stuff for a holiday too Cyprus or so I thought! Got over there and hubby said "where's all my trousers babe?" I'd only forgotten them all!! It was a place where men had to wear trousers at dinner so the poor man was in his 1 pair of jeans for two weeks in 40c heat xx

Lmao your poor hubby! I'm sure he was roasted. Mine packs his own stuff so I only have me and the girls to worry about. I can pack the clothes but the rest needs to wait till Sunday as we will be using them. All the camping stuff is stored in one place in the "man cave" lol, so it's just a matter of lifting it all into the car.
Need to go to the equestrian place and get hay today...I hope it's less stalky than the last time I got it. The first bale I got was really nice, mostly quite soft, and pretty green.....the piggies preferred it over the Timothy hay I got delivered from England which cost a small fortune in comparison! The last one I got however wasn't as green and was more stalky
Awe I'm sure it will be hard to leave him, but it's worth it if he gains a little friend . How do they tell within an hour if they aren't getting on? I had seen that the other piggie Jeremy was dating it didn't work but they weren't actually fighting. I thought if they weren't fighting that was a good thing and you should leave them to see if they can sort any differences as long as no blood is being drawn X

Omg you have a "man cave" too lol must definitely be a man thing! I make my hubby pack his own stuff now much easier!

Have you tried the ING hay? My lot hate Timothy hay but they go absolutely nuts for the ING hay I might try some ready grass too soon although I've read that can be quite stalky? Does your babies have that?

As for Jeremy's date with zeb no there wasn't any fighting but zeb is an extremely confident piggy (I've met him and his such a character) which scared Jeremy to death, he just hid in the corner bless him, he is really shy you see so he needs a calmer piggy which I hope Oakley will be for him! Nobody knows Jeremy's history so don't know what kind of home he had, pretty much the same as Oakley I haven't got the foggiest about his history I'm hoping they will make each other more confident in time.
Barbara said that usually you can tell in a short space of time how things are going to go so we will see, think I'm more nervous than Oakley lol xx

Awe...I'm rooting for you all tomorrow! U'll have to let me know asap how it went! .
No I haven't tried the ING hay but was tempted to, just not sure what delivery would be like to over here! Last time I got hay delivered from England it cost a small fortune .
Yeah my lot get ready grass, it's lovely and they go mad for it but only get a little. I usually throw a handful or two into the hay boxes and let them root for it. It smells mega sweet so the whole room smells lovely lol. I also give them some oxbow hay but it's quite pricey so again only a handful or two a day. They always pick the stalky bits out of it and leave them....which probably is about half of it! .
Well I went to visit the piggies. The wee man (duke) looked so much better, it's amazing what a week can do! Guiness (damaged spine) spent the whole time licking my hand and I kind of fell in love with him! Gizmo (his friend) is more cheeky and outgoing but equally lovely! Cerys wasn't there today so didn't get to chat with her, but the guy I was talking to seemed to think that Guiness and gizmo would probably have a harder time getting rehomed due to Guiness's spine problems and having to help him poop, so once again I'm undecided . Starting to sway towards the two tho if they are going to find it harder to find a loving home X

 

[Laura mason]

Some pics of today's visit....a pic of Tommy the rabbit too....the girls loved him, he was free ranging around the room and happy for strokes and being hand fed X

Is the INGS hay soft or stalky? Is it green? I wish I could find some nice hay! X

 

[Anarchybmc]

Awwww those pics are amazing they look like their lapping up the attention!

The ING hay is green and is soft, it's definitely not a hay I would be worried about hay pokes at all, nice long strands too I've tried ALOT of hays and this is by far mine & the piggies favourite! You can get a sample pack of it too it's from hayandstraw.co.uk the second pic is more the real green colour found it hard to get it to read on camera!
Did you tell them you was going to adopt the little man?xx

Didn't see this reply I went straight for the pics lol I think I will try some ready grass as a treat

I will let you know how tomorrow goes, I bet you will be busy sleeping and packing though lol

So does hubby know that one has turned to two now hehe....
Xx

 

[Laura mason]

No, I just mentioned we went up and Guiness was kissing me and he's a wee cutie! The room is ready to go! Toy storage units have been moved into the girls room so I have a nice big space now lol....come on...he knows it happening....right? Lmao.

That hay looks yummy! I've emailed them and asked how much delivery would be to Northern Ireland so here's hoping it's not a ridiculous price! .
Do yours leave bits of the hay or is it all eaten? Mine always pull it all out of the hay racks (ikea bag holders lol) and just eat the soft bits and leave all the stalky bits for me to clean up! Lol

What time u taking Oakley at tomorrow? Not long now aaaggghhhh! Oh no, packing and sleeping will not get in my way of getting updates on Oakley and Jeremy! X

Oh yes he knows lol but hey your helping two lil beauty's have a great forever home who could have a go at you for that can't wait for you too pick them up myself!

My boys are all quite wasteful with hay no matter what I do really, Kimi & Murray and Bertie & Marley (I keep calling marley, Ollie lol) eat most of it, the rest of them pick and choose which bits look the nicest like yours do. I have cat litter trays that I put a layer of care fresh at the bottom of but I hate it might try auboise or Fitch then there's the cheaper Timothy hay that's from b&m the one with the flowers all over the bag? That's really green but dusty I have too give it a good shake before I put it in which makes me sneeze then a handful of ING they love too just sit and rummage through it all, but still get it all over the fleece! Oh the hours I've spent picking hay off fleece

I've seen your ikea hay holders on your pics that is a fab idea! Do you put pee pads next too them? Might steal that for when the "big build" has been finished

I hope the postage isn't too much I do think it's the best by far! Ooh how about if it costs more than a ferry trip then I bring it over, I sooo know I would bring home one of those piggies

Soooooo Oakley has too be there for midday so we will probably leave around 9:30am (ish) hope the traffic isn't too bad it's supposed to be quite warm today, I may pack a cucumber lol I'm excited but nervous eeeeek I hope he reacts well! Fingers/paws and anything else we can find are crossed! Xx

 

[Laura mason]

Oh how exciting! . I really hope it goes well! We are all rooting for you over here . Everything is crossed. Keep me posted!

I honestly don't know why you would want to come to Northern Ireland....it rains a lot and is cold lol....although for once the sun is shining! It does have its moments tho...pic attached. Oh..and the rescue also have these two beauties Lol.

I emailed the company and they said they will ask their couriers for a price and get back to me on Monday X

 

[Laura mason]

Good luck Oakley and Jeremy x

 

[Anarchybmc]

Good luck Oakley and Jeremy x

Hey, so mr Oakley and Jeremy didn't get on at all both wanted to be top piggy so they were separated within minutes! But Barbara asked if I wanted to try the baby Georgie and I said yes, well straight away Oakley was in his element he loves him! So we have bought him home to carry on with the bonding I have just put them in their temporary c&c and they had a popcorn around abit of hay and now they have crashed lol I was so happy I welled up too see Oakley so happy and actual moving around! We are going to call Georgie either cory or Ollie.

How's the packing going? Xx

 

[Laura mason]

OMG what a cutie pie! Its a shame him and Jeremy didn't get on, but at least it worked out OK in the end . I'm soooo happy Oakley has a friend woo hoo.....and u got to bring them home and didn't have to leave Oakley for a week! What are they up to now? Do u think the wee mans hair is going to grow long? He reminds me a little of Bing as a baby who now has long messy messy hair. He also reminds me of Sam (although never seen Sam as a baby), but could imagine him looking like this when he was. Awe I'm really really happy for you all

I'm a mess today lol. Done a shop straight after work and then came home and sorted the pigs....always takes twice as long after a night shift since I'm not all with it lol. All I managed to get done was pack the girls and all the piggie washing , I was completely pooped. So I'm just awake and still have everything to do....stripping the bed as we speak.

I think I have definitely decided on taking the two. I'm going to leave the black one as Guiness but change Gizmo to Gus X

Awwww thank you I am really pleased for my mr Oakley he was such a sad boy but he is totally different now! He was in a 2x4 c&c but rarely walked around if anything he used a 1x2 space but now he is running all over the place lol I have just checked on them and Oakley has flaked out in front of the fan and Ollie (that's his name now) is running riot popcorning uncontrollably I'm not sure what his hair will do his an Abyssinian so don't they usually stay quite spikey? Ooh I will google pics of them lol

I love the name Gus! Gus & Guinness the two GG's, my hubby had a bad experience with Guinness so that name was a no in this house hold, he definately didn't have the luck of the Irish that night hahaha..... Have you decided about your cages yet? I can tell you haven't had time to do ikea lol

Love the way you say "all I've got done" wowsers you have done well to do all of that after a night shift xx

 

[Anarchybmc]

Ps I should change this thread too my 8 boys! Xx

 

[Laura mason]

U so should! Lol.
No i didn't get to ikea, but I'm home on Friday so I feel an ikea trip on Saturday is on the cards lol. I think I will email Cerys while I'm away and confirm I'm taking the boys...just wish the hubby would say yes! If I get the table top and legs on the Saturday I could collect them anytime after that . As you can see I'm planning on getting them before I have the cage completed lol....I don't think I could wait .
Poor Oakley is pooped with all the excitement Hee Hee. It must be so nice for him to finally have a little friend , and Ollie must be happy to have a older piggie to look up to and protect him .
So when do you reckon you'll have all your wooden cages complete? X

I am sure he will! I think he will see how much it means to you! Although your planning their cages anyway lol if your anything like me you will be looking forward to your hols but also wanting to get back for your new babies

Oakley is absolutely pooped indeed! He and Ollie have now crashed and are lying beside each other bless them makes my heart melt! I can definitely see now why keeping a lone piggy can be hard for them, although I know there are exceptions! But in oakleys case he was clearly missing a friend I have no idea how long he has been alone at all but he is in his element right now!

As for our wooden cages Ted & chewys is nearly ready just waiting for the perspex to arrive which seems to be taking forever! and then I need to make their liners. The others are currently in planning as I've now got another 2 (Oakley & Ollie ) to build for, I want it too look and be right for their needs! But I think it won't be long before I get a design sorted lol they are all quite happy where they are for now (and it stops me getting more lol).

I bet your fast asleep as I type I know I would be lol.
Do you have access to the forum while your away? Xx

 

[pig in the city]

Its been good to read this thread and have a happy ending! X

But I think it won't be long before I get a design sorted lol they are all quite happy where they are for now (and it stops me getting more lol).

I bet your fast asleep as I type I know I would be lol.
Do you have access to the forum while your away? Xx

Nope still awake lol. Still need to pack my clothes and put new bed covers on my bed before I get in lol.
Yes I should still have internet while I'm away. Last time I went away I still came on in the morning and at night for a catch up lol.
I'm going to try my best not to think about the piggies too much while I'm away and just try and enjoy having nothing to do and spending time with the family with no distractions....although i do phone my mum every night to check in and see how everyone is doing lol.
Really hope we get decent weather! Don't mind if it's not sunny (although it is amazing when you do) but if the rain would just stay away it would be great!
I forgot to say last time yes I put pee pads just in front of the hay things. They are cable ties and work really well on the top cage as they swing up so great for cleaning underneath. The bottom ones pull up slightly but because it's two grids up I can't swing it, but still ok. They work really well and u can put loads of hay in them so no need to worry about running out . I think it was Tim I stole the idea off lol. As soon as I spotted them in his cage I went straight to ikea and bought 4 lol.
How are you attaching things like bottles and hay racks to the wooden cage? I use the living world bottles and think I'm going to have to get the stand that goes brought it as I don't think my sides are going to be tall enough to mount it X

Not a great pic of them but you can see them in the corner. They are just ikea plastic bag dispensers but work great as hay racks .
I have all my fleece on a shelving unit but running out of room pretty quickly as I keep buying and making more things lol. Think it's a sign I need to stop spending! Although all being well when I get the other two piggies I'll need 2 more liners and more hidies etc. I could go mad with fleece stuff!
How many piggies do u have? X
