I don't want him getting any nasty foot infections...
 
Hi Maddy! I know you from Guinea Lynx!

It's always best to clean cages more often if you think it needs it. My Jon Snow is a lazy boy who likes to sleep in the same place every night. If I don't keep the area under the pigloo clean every day he starts to get red patches on the bottom of his feet.
 
Chock's been quite quiet after his 2 hour run in his pen
If it was up to him he would have been out longer but i had to do something and i didn't want to leave him unsupervised.
He probably would have been ok but i didn't want to take that chance...
 
Chock sounds like a really sweet pig. My pig has sadly passed and I will be getting another one soon, so I will describe him/her then. Now, I will decribe my sisters!
Her name is Callie
She is approx. 4 years old
white, ginger and black (calico colored) pig, as her name
very fussy, won't eat pellets.
Very vocal, knows when its dinner time!
Skiddish, runs away from my dad when he walks in the room (lo)
Very cute!
 
Chocks very good at letting me know what he wants whether its to come out for lap time or run time or veg time
He's very good at the last one lol
 
Guinea pigs love telling us when it's veggie time don't they! Chock sounds like a lovely guinea pig.

I have eight guinea pigs. Seven girls and one neutered boar. When it's veggie time I think the neighbours can hear too! It's quite a song!
 
i put my guineas out on the lawn & there is clover there (pink & white varieties) , i read somewhere it has tonic qualities & it's apparently full of vitamins, minerals & proteins too.
saying that though, i would start Chock off on it gradually if he's not used to it & only let him have it in moderation. If as @sport_billy says it may be high in calcium so just be mindful of that. (high calcium diet piggies are prone to bladder stones etc).

Chock sounds a real sweet heart & i love talkative pigs :)
 
My other half has clover in his garden as well as chocks dandelion patch.
I've introduced him to fresh grass by the start of the year so he's prepaired for lawn time.
I did a spot clean of chocks sleeping place this morning.
Chock was in his pen when i cleaned the area under his house as he gets distressed if its moved when he's in the cage bless him.
Who would have thought a rectangle of ply wood would make such a difference...
 
Chocks been sun bathing
He's the only pig i've had that has done this...
 
Cleaned chocks cage out this morning
He's been popcorning around in there since i put him back in after he finished his reward bowl of greens for being good while i cleaned him out.
He's such a good pig...
 
I also disinfected the caryer and replaced the hay in there also as well as the hay in his play box so its been a busy morning
I really get a lot out of looking after Chock and interacting with him
He's like my retired guide dog but a pig vertion. He's even picked up some of her habbits lol
Such as sun bathing and hand licking...
 
Chock loves his new house
So glad i went for the rabbet one as 2 pigs could easally fit in there
 
Giving Chock a run in his pen as he wont have his morning run tomoro as i have my craft groop so will have to run him when i get back...

Click to expand...

I bet he is enjoying himself!
 
Chock loves his play pen...
Gives him a chance to have some freedom...
 
Going to clean Chocks cage out this evening
I like him to have a nice clean cage particularly now that its hot...
 
Cleaned chocks cage out last night so he's happy again and bounceing around
Love it when he's all happy...
 
Chock's full of beans today
Think its because its cooled down a bit so he's more lively...
 
Giving chock a run before it heats up too much so he will enjoy it more
Not that there's much running going on just the shredding of salad lol
 
I love that a simple thing such as a run gets a fantastic reaction from chock
He's easy pleased...
 
Just sorted out Chocks hay and topped up his food bowl he will be having his run later on this morning as i'm not awake enough yet...
 
Chock has had a good day today
Started off with a 2 hour carry on in his pen.
Then it ws out this afternoon for snuggles with a friend i had in peterborough
 
Chocks tucking in to a bowl of greens in his pen... Hope he will have a run as well and not just stuff his face instead...
 
Just tryed Chock on a new salad mix they had in tesco
It has baby lettis leaves with some shredded cabage in it and he's demolishing the bowl quite quickly so i guess its a hit...
 
Well, he finished the bowl compleatly and there wasn't even any stocky bits which he usually leaves behind
Think he enjoyed it...
 
Cleaned Chocksters cage out early this evening then gave him a late run as well as the one this morning as he's been quite loud at night for the last cupple of days so i thought i'd give him an extra run to see if he'll be any quieter...
Worth a shot
 
Going to pets at home with my carer tomoro to get Chock some treets and more alfalfa hay if they have any... He likes the varied hay as he has a handful of the alfalfa hay sprincled over the top of his usual grass hay
He also loves the alfalfa blocks that you can get from pets at home as well as the dry dandelion
He enjoys a dryed corn cob now and again too...
