I bought some ings from hay & straw and it arrived yesterday. It smells absolutely amazing and it looks like the piggies have given the paw up! I was greeted by the smell when I went out to give them breakfast and top up this morning.

I’m sitting outside with the piggies for a bit.

Hello gorgeous boys

Best way to spend a morning

Best way to spend a morning

Definitely. I’ll hopefully be able to do it more once the weather improves. It’s been pretty wet and dull this week!

 

[Siikibam]

Today was balmy so had nail trimming in addition to weigh and check day. I had a quick cuddle with them all. They had a treat of a little apple for being so good. All tolerated the trim so well.

I know I shouldn’t have a favourite but gu Coco is soooooooooo Of course they all are. I love their individuality.

I think the piggies must be wondering what’s going on today One of the kids is outside with Lego...and plastic bags. Toffee kept thinking it’s time to eat.

 

[Siikibam]

Piggies are still living it large! Today Coco wheeked. Hers is quite distinctive - each wheek is drawn out rather than two quick ones. Love her

I’m using shavings from P@H as I couldn’t get my usual ones. They’re not bad. The piggies are loving the hay - it’s either meadow or timothy. I think they’re currently getting the timothy one.

Piggies are still loving life. Toffee just bit me, hard enough to draw blood! It’s stopped and it wasn’t a large amount so that’s okay. I think my finger may have smelt like food. Otherwise no clue at all!


I’ve been getting them used to grass in readiness for lawn time. But now the garden is overrun with daisies so may have to just cut grass for them. I’m quite disappointed as I was looking forward to them enjoying grass straight from the source!

That’s so annoying, buttercups have suddenly appeared from nowhere in the last few weeks. You can treat the lawn, then cut it 6 times and then it’s safe for them to go on. I tend to treat half at a time but you will need to leave a metre wide imaginary line between the treated and untreated areas just in case the weed killer has seeped into the untreated areas. You could section it off with string and canes x

 

[LollyJJ]

Oh what a pain, how dare they decide to grow in your garden- I have dandelions so far and fingers crossed I can do no mow May and nothing unwanted pops up!

 

[Siikibam]

@Bill & Ted ill speak to my husband as he’s the garden man!

@LollyJJ the husband wasn’t too happy about the weeds. Considering he weeded it last summer and got rid of them all this year we got sticky weed as well. I think the pollen comes from neighbouring farms.

Lovely photos! How dare the weeds invade YOUR lawn !

The weeds and moss have invaded our "lawn" so badly that we have had to put weed, feed and moss killer down and the "lawn" has now gone all black. There were about 3 blades of grass in the "lawn". We have lots of clumps of grassy bits elsewhere just not in the right place! Well at least I can cut the grassy clumps for the piggies to enjoy.

The boys turned four last Monday. It was a back to school day so they had a treat (small tomato) each. The girls too of course.

I got these photos on Saturday when I went out to check on them. Fudge was being his usual lay in the hay self. And Toffee was relaxed and appeared to be keeping watch. They’re not cuddly but they love each other so I’m happy. And we seemed to have escaped the spring/summer hormone surges

 

[Merab]

Happy belated birthday boys.
Hope you got lots of treats

 

[Siikibam]
