i have to remove Chock from his cage to do any kind of cleaning otherwise he gets a complex over me going anywhere near his sleeping/kitchen space which is a wooden cottage from pets at home that is meant for a rabbet.
if you want to look at one i think they are called "large cottage" if you go on their website.
2 or possibly even 3 pigs could get in there and snuggle in quite happly. Plus it makes a very good hay rack as well as a sleep space.
 
forgot to put in last post that it only cost 16 £ and its quite a big space...
Chock loves it!
 
Chocks having great fun bouncing about his pen...
lots of yummy things to eat and bight in there you see.
 
Chock is 4 next year but he sertainly doesn't act like it at all.
I think he's still 2 in his head...
 
out came the sleep grass last night because Chock wanted to play at half 11 last night. not a good idea when mummy's trying to sleep...
no idea what got in to him at all but he was making a lot of racket...
 
Chock enjoyed his 3 hour run this morning.
he even ate the cabbage in the salad mix which he was refusing to do 3 weeks ago with the exact same mix... don't know what gets in to him sometimes...
drives me flippin nuts!
silly boy...
 
Pigs really know how to test your patience :)
They are very good at this...
 
Chocks in good pirits this morning.
bouncing about his pen like a total nut case...
He cracks me up with laughter
 
chocks got a small bull rush ball for playing in his pen with. i got 4 of them as they only cost a £ and i'm glad i did as he seems to really love the one inside his cage.
he's going bitween playing with that and pulling out hay from inside a toilet roll
ooo the joys of being a pig...
Wish my life was that simple...
(the bull rush balls can be got from pets at home)
 
I was right, i am being kept awake by Chockster playing...
Hopefully he will tire him self out soon and crash.
Have given him a night snack of some leaves and he has gone more quiet so maybe all that ball chaseing gave him an apitite and maybe now i can get some sleep.
Pigs, you've gotta love m...
:)
 
He drives me mental sometimes...
But if i didn't have him my house would be to quiet and really empty...
 
Chock tired him self out last night by playing with his bull rush ball which is almost the same size as a ball for cats but because its woven bull rush its really light so he can pick it up and carry it about in his mouth like a dog would.
he's been playing with one in his pen this morning.
Nice that something that was only 1 £ could make him so happy...
i love how easy pleased pigs are with really simple things
 
My boys nibble their carrot cottages so loudly! They have woven balls too, they don't pay much attention to them but I have seen nibble marks:hmm:so cute the way they get excited over little things!
 
Chock doesn't like carrots.
There is something wrong with him, i thought all pigs like carrots but my one doesn't...
as for the nibble marks thats curiosity that is...
They may like the small ones rather than the big ones if thats the ones you have for them as they are easy carryed about the place... or chucked about thats always an option lol
 
chock loves carrying the ball about with him and rumbleing at the same time.
i have told him he's a clever pig for catching that but could he please be a bit quieter as mum's trying to do some recording but he's not listening (again)
 
Chock wasn't happy with me this morning because i slept in so i was shouted at as soon as i got up as i was late with his breakfast and morning run so could i hurry up...
pigs can be so impatient sometimes... :)
at least he wants out now rather than throwing a strop most mornings which is what he use to do before he got his wooden house to sleep in, then he became more agreeable :)its a large
wooden cottage (from pets at home)
its meant to be for a rabbit to sleep in but 2 pigs could snuggle up in one quite easally
chock highly reccomends it...
 
Chock didn't want to come out of his cage this morning which could have something to do with the fact he spent 7 hours in his pen yesterday.
i gave him his greens in his cage this morning but i will try and run him later on this afternoon but if he doesn't want to come out then i'm not worried as his cage is a decent size now so if he doesn't want to come out i don't feel worried as he has lots of space to bounce about in.
his cage is 2 cm longer than his pens length but it doesn't have the width that the pen does as thats a 3 foot sq right the way round as each panel is 3.2 feet and there are 4 panels that make his pen up so its quite a big space when its asembled.
i got that from pets at home sevral years ago. Its meant for outside time but i've been using it for inside time, i put a towl down to stop Chock tairing chunks out the carpet. Naughty hoglet...
he's quite happy in the pen as he goes to sleep in there usually in his box of hay but if thats what he wants to do with his outside time thats up to him...
 
i think if i wanted another pen for outside time i would get another one the same so he wouldn't feel scared going in it on a lawn but as i don't really have somewhere for him to run outside at present i havent got another one.
 
Chock gives me atitude when ever i start fiddling with his bedroom. It sets off a storm of rumbling and clicky teeth as well as his fur going up so he's not a happy pig when i do anything with his sleep space/kitchen area as thats where the hay gets put as it stops it going all over the cage.
who'd have thought an animal would be so posessive over a load of ply wood
so funny...
 
Chock isn't happywith me this morning as i cleaned his towl that goes in his pen so i think he's spraying it to take the nasty smell of soap off it.
i did try explaining to him that the towl was dirty and needed cleaning but he just started rumbling at me so i left it...
 
got Chocksters cage cleaned out this morning as i've moved his cage cleaning day to a friday now instead of a Saturday and he doesn't seem to mind this.
he's happy with me again after being grumpy for the last 2 days. silly piggy...
 
will be taking Chockster to the vet soon to have his talons taken off again.
its amazing how fast his nails grow. Must be doing something right...
 
Chock had a 4 hour pen session today again.
If i havn't got anything on till the afternoon or its the week end i will leave him out as he's quite happy to bounce about and play/eat/sleep in there.
Sometimes catching him to put him back in his cage can be difficult as he wants to stay out and have fun but as i explained to him that all things must stop sooner than later but again he refuses to listen...
 
Chock feels hard done by because he only had a 2 hour run this morning
even though he has nice new hay that he's never had before in his house...
there's no pleasing some pigs...
 
Chocksters in a good mood this morning
Bouncing about his pen like mad.
wouldn't have him any other way...
 
Chock was very happy after having a 4 hour run this morning...
 
chock didn't want to come out of his cage this morning
maybe it had something to do with the long run he had yesterday.
maybe he just wants to stay home and chill and there's nothing wrong with that...
