This is a really mixed post so i wasnt quit sure where to post it, sorry if its in the wrong place. I guess its healt, behaviour and possible pregnancy all in one!
Everything at the moment seems to be going okay, touch wood there have been no bad fights and all 4 of my piggies are still together. I am still a bit worried that daffy my smallest may not be happy though, they do chase her about a bit more than they each chase each other!
Which is sort of where my first question comes in, how do i kow if she is happy!? sounds a crazy question to me but, she is eating and drinking and runs about, occassionaly making a little popcorn motion. When the other 3 are sat together she is occassionaly on her own and with food she sometimes gets shunned out but comes back, but at other times i have seen them all lay down very near each other.
If she becomes un happy what signs should i be looking out for?
Also, i am going to go and buy something to weigh my piggies with. What scales do people use to measure them? A pair of electronic food scales?
What is the weight that piggies should be - All mine piggies are between ages 9 weeks and 11 weeks?
Another reason i am checking weight is because i am worried one could be pregnant, how much would she be gaining?
I really really hope she isnt, she is only a baby herself and i would hate for anything to happen to her. Plus i think my other half would have a fit at the prospect of more piggies!
p But the more i look at her sat around and think about how many boy piggies where in the shop i got her from i think she could be - we only went to buy guinea pig food and came away with her *** she was the only girl they had in weeks. there where about 15 baby boy piggies and a bigger pig they couldnt sell. She was quarentined with the little boys and then put in with the big piggy so i had to take her away.
