chock had his cage cleaned out this morning.
As i was up at 4 A M i thought i may do something useful as i cant play instruments at that hour and its his cleaning day anyway for his cage, carryer and play box. he now has a nice clean cage with new pellets, Barn Dryed forage Burgess hay inside his house and play box and carryer as i thought i may as well devide up the hay bail as there wasn't much left in there so i devided it bitween all 3 as there was enough to do this.
he's having some pen time just now but he will be happy when he goes back home, he usually is when his cage has been cleaned...
 
Chock spent 6 hours out in his pen this morning having a right good time :)
He was ready for his bed when he went home though which isn't like him but he must have tired him self out...
 
chocks having some pen time this morning as the last cupple of days he's not wanted to come out to play
he's just wanted to stay chilling at home which is ok.
he's running about like mad though as he must have a lot of pent up energy in there...
 
chocks enjoying his pen time this morning which is nice to hear as always...
 
:love:He is a sweetie! Our boys have a run attached to the cage, they adore it. We took blocked it off yeterday to clean, and they started rumbling and chattering at each other. Today, they were snoozing in a pile of hay together! Pigs are such peculiar creatures.
 
yeh they sertainly are strange...
i'd be lost with out a pig in my life i think. Chock helps keep me well as well as my instruments/music making...
 
think i am taking chock to the
vets next week so he's gonna hate me for a cupple of days... he needs his talons taken off again....
 
i'm gonna try get chock booked in at the vet
tomoro morniing to get his talons taken off again
will let you know how i get on...
 
Chock didn't want to come out to play this morning
Think he was to busy munching the new hay to come out and have a run
His cage was cleaned out yesterday evening so maybe thats got something to do with it...
 
chocks got a vet appointment for next friday morning to have his talons taken off
he will hold a grudge with me for 2 days after that like he always does...
 
Chock wasn't to traumatised after the fireworks so thats good
i know quite a lot of pigs are stressed out by fireworks though
Chock seems to take things in his stryde apart from vets...
 
i've been a silly over pritective pig mum (stupid me)
looked at Chocks claws for the purpis of running him and they are still in the safe zone so they wont get stuck in the towl while he runs on it
the reason why i am calling my self stupid is because when he's got in to difficulty before he's called for me to help him and he has the sence to sit still till i get him out of the trubble he's got in to so i thought if he's in difficulty he will call for me if he has issues while he's in the pen running so i've put it up and he's inside it playing so all that worry over nothing....
 
just replaced the hay in chocksters house and play box
he's got Burgess dandelion and marigold herbage hay in his house and Burgess Barn Dryed Forage hay inside his play box which he is happly tucking in to...
nice to see my pig happy...
 
Have got to brake the news to chock that he's going to the vets on friday morning to have his nails cut
He wont like that at all....
He will also make me feel very guilty for takeing him there as well but he will do this for 2 days afterwords...
 
i got a plan
i will just brybe him with salad and cross my fingers :)
 
Chock was a star at the vets and didn't bight the vet
also managed to pick up a cupple of new toys from the vet that i thought he'd like
he's currently ripping it apart so i think i aint in the hay rack...
 
the vet said he was really healthy and she wanted to know what his pellets were so i said he was on the Burgess x l mint ones and she said that she advises people who don't know what the best ones are to get those
she also asked how his coat was so shiny so i told her that he has 4 sorts of hays to eat on different weeks and she thought this was a great idea
she also said he had good muscle tone and she said he was getting the right amount of excersize
so i came out the vets feeling like i was 6 foot tall :)she also has pigs...
 
Chock is a spoilt piggy, he's much loved by you. Goes to show how much you love & care for him, you should be proud of yourself.
 
i like knowing i'm doing the right thing with regards to his play time and diet as phisical health is just as important to me as his mental health
 
i'm glad i got chockster that edable house as he was hideing in the hay box so much that it was too dirty to use anymorehe can fit inside it cause thats where i found him after i took the box out
he wasn't too happy with it being removed but i would like him to play in his pen and not hide all the time so hopeing not having it around and having a pyle of hay on the towl will make him more comfortable in the open
fingers crossed...
also trying to condition him to the sound of a new treet bowl, he's not started wheeking at it yet but food has arrived inside it so think its just gonna take time for his brain to become use to the new note it makes
 
yesterday i realised what was making my room smell really piggy was the play cardboard box for pen time so in the bin it went
chock now does this thing called play in his pen rather than hideing inside the box
he's got his carrot house with hay inside that if he wants to go hide but he seems more intrested in bighting and playing with things so i think i did the right thing by takeing it out as he seems to be having a ryot in there this morning :)
he would have just hid inside his box if he had it still but he seems to be enjoying him self in there with out it today...
 
chockster smashed his record for playing time today he didn't ask to go home for 9 hours after i put him in to play.
even though he wanted to go home he kind of didn't so i had to play the game of catch the pig with salad before he would sit still enough for me to be able to pick him up with out protesting or stress...
silly boy...
i do love him though
 
Pigs are such sausages, they want you to pick them up or take them home, yet still don't let you! We love them for their mischievousness though, it's what makes them adorable:luv:

Me too! They wheek at new bags of hay, and are very pleased with anything snuggly, or tasty treats. Now, if only children were like that...
