Building a bat-hippo house!

[PigglePuggle]

Finally moved my desk, rehomed a couple of spiders living behind it, cleaned and disinfected the floor under it where demon child has been chucking bits of food, started assembling the C&C grids...

Looking good, can’t wait to see the bat hippo installed in it

 

[PigglePuggle]

She'll only be going in to play until... hopefully... there's a wedding!

What a lovely big home Tallulah will have.
Have you made any plans for finding her a friend?
I know that Tiny Paws in Manchester @Tiny Paws MCR have a 2 year old boar Fudge who will be looking for a home in May once he is 6 weeks post neutering.

We have a date lined up for 15th April but if they dont get on we'll keep Tiny Paws in mind thanks!

Exciting times in your house. I hope Tallulah has a lovely wedding day soon.

 

[PigglePuggle]

Almost time for Tallulah to test it out!

My alcove was annoyingly 5cm too small to fit a 3x3 so its a 4x2 going round the corner (or a 3x3 missing a 1x1 bit). The empty bit will be the hay section

How exciting, hope it all goes well.

Here we are! Tallulah is having he afternoon snack exploring her new house
She'll be going back in the main piggy room at bedtime though so she doesnt get lonely until she gets her new friend.

 

[YvonneBlue]

Happy bat-hippo piggy. She is getting bigger too.

 

[Bill & Ted]

Aw, little Tallulah, you will have a lovely husboar soon to share your beautiful new cage x

 

[Merab]

Lovely setup there.

 

[Jamston]

Lucky girl!

 

[PigglePuggle]

She's loving her hay room! I've hidden little pieces of apple and lettuce in the hay and she's digging for them with her paws

 

[Flutterby]

Looks fab!

 

[PigglePuggle]

It will look much better with a handsome husboar... really hope our date works out for awkward little bat-hippo girl! She's much more relaxed and confident now than she was when the bonding failed with the main herd though, there's always a cheeky ginger hippo moustache begging at the bars at feeding time and she is definitely the loudest wheeker

 

[Betsy]

What a lucky girl! When she moves in with her husboar she may miss the other piggies for while but it's exciting times ahead

 

[PigglePuggle]

She'll still see the other piggies when they have playpen time because the playpen goes up next to where Tallulah's new cage is that's if Theo and Ollie can tolerate each other as two-afternoons-a-week neighbours! I think Theo will be fine, he has more ladies than he knows what to do with, he might enjoy realising he's not the only husboar in the world... but yes its very exciting... scary in case it doesnt work out, but exciting!

Lovely setup there!

@PigglePuggle can I ask where you got the jigsaw cube from? It's got a lovely large entrance! The front hole in one I've got currently is a bit of a squeeze for my rather large abby ladies.

Its from Ziggy's Piggies, I asked for a custom size larger entrance, Ziggy has made us a few like that for larger and slightly disabled piggies

What a lovely home for a lovely girl

Are you planning on getting a skinny pig or a hairy(?) pig? Just curious

A furry piggy he sounds like a very special little guy who has also survived an abscess and failed to bond with the piggies he was supposed to!

 

[piggieminder]

Aw he sounds like he needs to come to you and piggy daddy for lots of TLC. I have everything crossed they fall instantly in love. This story needs a very happy ending.

Hope everything goes smoothly, we all look forward to pictures

Hoping it all goes well for those two cuties x

Is this grey coloured Sheffield (or thereabouts) Ollie? From the posts I saw he looks a lovely lad - hope it all works out!
