Twice now i have pulled hay out of their willys! i just took some from Harrys why does this happen? and how can i stop it?
 
You can't! It's something that tends to happen often! They tend to stay low to the ground and shuffle when they want to go anywhere, so that's where it ends up! It just finds it's way there! LOL
 
Oh great! i pulled some out of Harry but it wouldnt go back up was so gross! and they get woodshavings up there too! Zubins worse, could it be his age?
 
its a pain in the ass is'nt it? I tried to sort Dobby out saturday when he nipped me( not hard) then I checked on floo and he also nipped. so I said forget it you miserable lot check your own butts, ( did it yesterday instead) with no nips
 
I lye them on my tummy and get it they can bite at that angle teehee, Zubin gets all happy once hes free, i noticed a piece the other day dont no how long it was there but it must haev been there a while cos it stunk! lol x
 
;D yep, impacted bums too! Tonni has on the off chance got me a couple of times. But it's not often that he does nip
 
boar glue? Havent had the impaction yet but i heard it was worse the older they got and Zubin isnt one till next month but he will have a party i will get piccies lol I'm serious cake and everything, Bobbin comes and Ed and harry though Harry will be the other end of the table its carrot cake and he will get prezzies his bday is 26th June! cant wait! x
 
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH lol well yeah i coulda guessed that lmao! Yeah Zubin does have gluey tendancies! poor Eddies all sticky at the mo lmao he may need a bath soon! x
 
right here goes...... its dopey new piggy owner time ;D

The other day when i rescued a piece of hay from Chester's man parts, there was loads ofwhite stuff coming out of his little willy,,,, is this "boar glue"? :D
 
LOL! i pulled some woodshavin frm Zub and it has a bit of blood but it might have been pee I'm not sure
 
Ok question number 2........

In between their balls there's like a hole, now i'm assuming this is their sac thingy, sometimes hay and shavings gets stuck there and Chesters sometimes stinks.

Now i've tried cleaning inside but i cant get very far inside, apparently you are meant to be able to roll it back with your fingers to get right inside the sac?

Plus they create merry hell when i do it. is it hurting ?
 
That sounds like there bum but I'm not sure, mine squiny too i wouldnt worry it might hurt a bit but in the end you are helping them i wouldnt go sticking things too far in though incase it damages them Kelly knows more about impaction than me but thats my opinion x
 
LOL I ain't too sure. It sounds like their bum. What do you use to clean them? I find a wet cotton bud or two does the trick. Then a bit of cream afterwads.

Rolling it back!? Gosh I've never tried and it doesn't sound very pleasant! If they are squeaking, then it probably does hurt a bit, but boys don't really like you going down there.
 
Baby wipes are fab for cleaning boys bits! They are nice and moist which seems to make it more comfortable for them.

Your boys aren't very old are they Bev? They probably aren't fully developed down below yet which is why it is difficult for you to get them clean.
 
i roll it back to remove the hay Zubin is ok with it Harry IS NOT oh boy does he squirm! but i cant let it get all icky x
 
my ginger has had an impacted bum on and off for about 2 years now and he is almost 4, I do have to roll it back over the lump to get it out and ugh does it stink, but popular belief is that they always have it, but not mine Ginger has it on and off some times he does'nt need popping as we call it for months then he needs it daily for a few months, Dobbys had it once and so has Demon, keep checking but so far no more,
my boys get a willy check and wipe every week or so, but i dont probe too much jsut what I can see, if any,
 
So when i push either side if the hole and can see about 1cm inside that's far enough to clean? Baby wipes. will get some.!
 
Boars eh?! lol mine havent had that impaction that i know of, when i see less poops i have a look but they seem ok proably because they are still babies, at 11 months, 6 months and 7 weeks lol x
