Buttons, Pewter, Benito & Cornelius

Could you have space to build a 2x5 c&c? And you could stack the cages Ruth the girls at the bottom.

I hope they bond well. Just be prepared with plan B in case. Pewter is :wub::wub::wub: I have a soft spot for grey agoutis!
 
We will definitely work out a plan B before we try to bond. I’m sure we could come up with something to make it work if it needs to be though! It would probably involve some creativity from my OH and moving furniture but hey, everything for the piggies :)) I am hopeful for the bonding though, Pewter & Benito seem to have developed a little romance through the cage bars (the other day I caught them grooming each other through the bars :wub:) and Buttons & Cornelius also seem to be taking well to each other through the bars (I think Buttons interacts more with Cornelius than she does with Pewter :))). I keep spying on them to get an idea of who I should bond with who, I’m almost a piggy stalker :)):))

Pewter is gorgeous, I too have a very soft spot for grey agoutis :wub::wub:
 
A quick hello from us! We haven’t been online a lot lately, work has been quite time consuming and a few house improvements took over the rest of the time.

But here we are with another little piggie squad update. They are all doing very well with Pewter very much still being the queen :)):)) Buttons has made amazing progress in the past couple of months - she‘s now just above the 900g mark and absolutely thriving. Since she‘s gained some weight her personality has really started to come through and she‘s decided that we can be trusted! She‘s the most gentle and loving soul with us but quite cheeky (and sometimes very feisty) with Pewter. Their relationship has sadly got quite tense since Buttons has gained some confidence but they still accept each other as cage mates. They also don’t have to live together for too much longer so I‘m sure everything will work out just fine :luv:

Which brings me to the boys! They are two cheeky monkeys and definitely keep us on our toes :)) they are 3.5 months old now and are already nearing the 750g mark! They always come to the bars to say hello and are generally the sweetest boys. Cornelius is a bit of a repeat offender when it comes to peeing and therefore no longer allowed on sofas and blankets without some fleece fabric:)):)) they also have their vet appointment on Weds - he‘s going to check if they‘re ready for neutering and, if they are, they‘ll go straight under. I‘m a little nervous about it but they‘re strong and healthy boys so I‘m hoping it‘ll go without problems!

Thank you! Not quite sure how I managed to get that in there but it‘s the lake at Harewood house - very pretty!
Thank you, they are currently enjoying their pre operation floor time starring tomorrow‘s transport box which they seem to approve of :wub:FE968C97-A354-4AEE-86BA-355A209964B7.jpeg
 
They boys have both been neutered today and they are both doing good 😊 Cornelius is bumbling about in the cage and flirting with Buttons through the cage bars. Benito is very quiet and groggy but he‘s had some veg and I‘ve also seen him eat hay. Currently he‘s cozied up in his hammock upstairs so I will put a pile of meadow hay upstairs for him and keep a good eye on the little man ❤

I‘m predicting a lot of pee in eyes for those two 😂 Benito has clearly sensed that I was getting a bit worried, he‘s ventured downstairs and is happily munching away 🥰

Good boy!
 
Little update from us 😊

Piggies are all well. Pewter is still very much the boss of the house. She‘s figured out how stairs work... but only one way :)) so she‘ll jump up a few steps and then squeal until someone carries her back down. She‘s very excited about her new discovery :)) Buttons doesn’t understand the hype and much rather chews on things she‘s not supposed to chew on.

The boys have healed exceptionally well - took them to the vet today. Cornelius still had 2 stitching knots that were quite prominent and he kept chewing on them so got them clipped off. We have officially entered week 5 of 6 today. Although the boys think making them wait 6 weeks is only torture... but what else would you expect from a pair of teenagers :))

Here are some pigtures of the crew:
