Buttons, Pewter, Benito & Cornelius

Lovely photos.
I like the bonus pic too.
Hope all goes well for the boys and their little operation
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.webp
 
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 ❤
 
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:

When is the six weeks up? Can’t wait for the bonding x
Officially on 2nd December! But since it’s a Wednesday we‘re probably going to bond on the Saturday. God, that’s only 2 weeks from today - I‘m excited (and nervous haha)! I‘ll definitely upload some videos afterwards x
 
are they both agoutis? I fell in love with them at first sight! Also still can’t quite believe how close the one on the right looks to my Bruno! It’s lovely
Cornelius is a cream agouti - his chest is starting to get all cream coloured and I love it :love: Buttons, on the other hand is a little bit mixed haha. She‘s a 3-coloured dutch but her brown bits are a red agouti colour. She also has a an orange/reddish coloured belly and an one ear in the same colour :)) here‘s a full body pic of the little croissant to make sure what I‘m saying makes any sense!

Your pigs are so gorgeous🥰😍 and I must say I do have a bit of a soft spot for Cornelius (ever since you posted that photo of his hedgehog impression!) he’s just absolutely gorgeous :luv: :luv:

Aww, thank you :wub::wub: I love all my piggies but I have to admit, Cornelius has a special place for me too. He's such a funny & cheeky little boy with a constantly confused look on his face :)) We should try the hedgehog impression again - I wonder if he can still do it or if he's grown into his fur! :)) But the best thing about him is the way he eats; so here's a video of him having his first ever grape :wub:

aww, thank you :love::love: I usually aim to post an update every few weeks but I have to admit I didn't take as many pictures lately (the piggies are telling me off for it daily) but I'll have a look through and post some here at the weekend. And then I'll up my picture game again - otherwise Pewter might decide to move out :)):))

Aww I love his little ears flapping when he’s eating his grape! :luv: :wub:
 
A little piggy update! We are all well - slaves included. Our new couples are madly in love ! I‘m so glad we went through with the wait and the bonding as the girls are both much happier as neighbours.

Buttons has practically changed over night! She‘s gained so much confidence - not just with Cornelius but also around us. She‘ll happily laze on the sofa (as you can see on the pictures) and doesn’t run away anymore when we approach the cage. She‘s such a sweet and gentle little piggy with not a single aggressive bone in her body. Cornelius is quite the gentleman with her - he‘s basically rumbling for her all day but she seems to enjoy it :))

Benito & Pewter are also getting along brilliantly! She’s very slowly warming up to his advances which is a great sign for our little diva. Benito experienced what it means to live with a lady yesterday :)) She was about to come into heat and, let me tell you, she‘s one grumpy little ball of fur when that happens. She‘ll chatter her teeth at everything and everyone - Benito, us, the water bottle, her hay tray. Whatever she comes across, really! But he kept his distance like a wise man would and today she‘s much calmer and happier again. But let‘s get to the good part of the update - the pigtures:

Benito doesn’t like taking pictures, so here’s a rare shot!

I am so proud of this little sausage - she‘s doing so well!

Not sure how I have missed this thread. Just read every post.😀

What stunning piggies you have and your photos are beautiful.😍💕
 
A little update from us :) We had a lovely, lazy Christmas break and were home pretty much all of the time which the piggies thoroughly enjoyed! There was a lot of floor time and many cuddles. Buttons & Cornelius are madly in love - those two are definitely made for each other. They are always close to each other, sometimes even sharing a hidey. Pewter and Benito are getting along fine too but I think they need more space than they‘ve currently got. Pewter is quite nippy and likes her personal space which poor little Benito doesn’t judge very well sometimes. We‘re currently in the middle of working out how we could expand their cage - we‘re quite tight on space so it is a bit of a challenge but no doubt we’ll work something out. OH wants to give it a bit more time to see if they settle down (which I‘ve agreed to because I know he can‘t watch poor Benito getting nipped in the butt much longer :))). Other than that, everyone is well and cheeky as always 💕

This is how Cornelius looks at OH at all times - he absolutely adores him.C2C0E10C-D5EE-4D8A-BA59-34F639132CD8.webpE7EE87C3-8A85-4F66-B6CE-A65AAB8F59D7.webp12D97883-8CFC-432C-AB2E-CB30090F21DC.webp

She put her nose on my nose and that’s how we sat for about 5 minutes. She‘s a weird little sausage but I love her.0EFEDDC7-B24D-4E93-AFEC-1570F51F4A32.webp

Yes, he is exactly as cheeky as his face suggests!6EBE7B46-BC5C-4B38-97EF-8BFA8A6B703C.webp
 
I absolutely love your piggies. Hopefully Pewter will settle down soon! I’m sure the husboar will slowly learn when she needs her space.
 
Oh what a delightful double couple, they are just so cute and friendly. Love the look of love photo with your husband and Cornelius ❤
Young Ginger used to nip Ted at first but they became the very best of friends x
