cleaned chocksters cage out with the pen set up as normal so any wood that missed the bin went on the towl so i could shake it outside and my floor would be nice and clean.
chock was in his hay box while i was doing this and he was happy to go back home as there was new yummy tastey hay to munch on in his house as well as a total brand new bowl of nuggets...its always amazing what makes a pig happy.
 
i've noticed since chock has been getting access to different hay on a regular basis his coat has went like silk
could also be because of the nuggets he's now on instead of the mix.
he seems to be eating more hay these days which is good as the nuggets are only meant to make up a small amount of his diet.
he loves all the different grasses i have for him which in turn makes me a happy mummy...
 
just a little update
Chock has settled in to his cage totally now as i did a test for the last 2 nights and didn't scatter food stuff over the floor to see if he would start chirping again which he hasn't done so he's made the transition smoothly which has cheered me up no end...
 
what surprises me is how much food pigs eat on a daily basis!
For something so small they can pack fair pack it away...
 
chock is having a bumper run this morning
He's been out since half 7 but i will put him back in at 12.
 
Chock made it very hard for me to catch him yesterday when it was time for him to go back home
I'm sure i'll have the same issue this morning when its time for him to go back...
 
Chock made it difficult for me to catch him when i was going to put him back in his cage after his run yesterday
I'm sure it will be the same fun and games this morning when its time for him to go back home...
 
thankfully the returning to the cage wasn't an issue today because i ruffled up the new hay inside Chock's house and he was quite keen to go back home.
Wonder why that was... :)
 
Chocks really loveing his new cage now he's got use to it.
Its taken him a month to ajust to it but i've made the transition easyer i think by putting food stuff all over the floor for the last 3 and a half weeks but i have started cutting the amounts back over the last week and he's been playing in the available floor space instead of being scared of it which is nice to see...

he will have been in his new cage for a month on the 7th of this month
 
i think what made our bond stronger was the fact that when my guide dog retired i almost lost him so out came the critical care food and i was feeding him every 3 hours or there abouts for a week and a half because he stopped eating and i told him "i've lost honey, i'm not losing you to" and after the week and a half of the critical care food he started eating on his own again and i was so happy i got him back...
honey retired last january.
 
Must be awful when they retire, it must be like losing your best friend. I suppose you don't get the option to keep them,as your need to have a new one
 
there is the option of keeping them after they stop working but i couldn't watch honey go old. I wanted to have good memories of her rather than painful ones if that makes sence
 
Chock had a bumper run today.
if he doesn't have a 2 hour run minimum run he feels short changed...
he expects a 4 hour run every day now...

ha ha! short changed if it isnt over 2 hours!
 
got chock a new water bottle, some meddo hay from Wilco and some more dandelion and green oat mix which we seem to keep running out of.
Wonder why that is...
 
the meddo hay is compressed in to a round biscuit type thing
he really likes it which i'm surprised at as he wont eat the meddo hay in the bail from there but he's happy with the hay rolls and the dandelion and green oat mix.
 
for people who want to try their pigs on these hay biscuits as i called them they are actually called:
Wilco meddo hay rolls.
They come in long sticks so you brake circles off and place them in the cage.
they are good value for money as ell as the bag contains a fair amount of the rolls so if you have a fiew pigs in a cage this could be quite goood
Mind you, they could start fighting over them, anythings possible with pigs...
 
Chock's in a good mood today.
bubbly and bouncey which is nice...
:)
 
the older Chock has got, the more teritorial he's got and the more fussy he's got when it comes to food.
cant believe he's 4 next year! feels like i only got him ayear ago or so.
 
Chocks in fine form this morning. Bouncing about his pen like mad.
at least he enjoys outside his cage time :)
 
i love hearing him having fun. makes me happy knowing he's having fun...
 
Chocks bouncing about his cage like mad
*out comes the Chamamile harvest then* otherwise i cant get any sleep at this rate the racket he's making...
 
Chock kept me up over half the night.
No idea what got in to him last night...
mummy's not very happy this morning...
 
Chock asked to be put back home this morning which is unusual for him as i usually have to play a game of "catch the piggy" to put him back in, usually he likes to stay out as long as possible so maybe he tired him self out by making all that racket last night...
he had an apitite on him this morning to...
 
Chocksters cage is all been cleaned out.
all wood, food, hay has been replaced with lovely new fresh stuff.
he will probably go and crash after i put him back after his play time which he's enjoying so i havent put him back yet as i see no need to as i havent got anything on till later on this afternoon so may as well let him benifit from the time i have free. playing improves his mood over all as well as his cage being clean.
