This am around 6.15 i was up early and thought it would be a nice idea to let the pigs out early as the grass was not wet. So out they all came all loving it. I came back inside to organise breakfast for a few mins heard this horrendous amount of squealing ran outside the back fence clattered didnt see anything though checked th pigs and Romey has gone :'( No where to be seen Murphy her house mate looked all ruffled up. Searched the whole garden and streets outside. Nothing :'(

OH thinks a cat (not one of ours) has taken her. :'( God I'm in absolute pieces here. If only id not let them out early and put the covers on top of the run straight away :tickedoff: We never have a cat problem so would never have thought it was a problem even for a few minutes. How wrong and stupid am i :'(

Poor Murphy looks ok but he must be traumatised think I'm going to put him in with the other girls for company as he loves being with them too.

:'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( Sorry Romey for not keeping you safe :'( :'( :'( :'(
 
Sorry to hear..... :'(
Look around the area because if it was a cat he might have dropped poor Romey after jumping over the fence.
If it was a fox, then no chance with that!
 
Oh no lindsay how awful :'( keep looking with a bit of luck the cat may have dropped him. If it was a fox I think you would of seen it as they are bigger then a cat.
I have a cat who lives 2 doors down who keeps trying to get into my house the little is not getting near them if I can help it. I hope you find Romey hun sending youn a big hug x :smitten:
 
Oh Lindsay I'm so sorry. Don't give up do keep looking. Maybe she is hiding (trying to think positive)

Thinking of you

x
 
ohh Lindsay how terrible for you, dont blame yourself and like the others have said there is a chance Romey will be found, sending hugs and love to you
 
I really really hope that it was a cat, who dropped the piggy (mind you they are heavy arent they) and that some neighbour or person down the street picks Romey up when they find her in their garden, and hangs notices out or something... :-\

You should hang a notice out in any case, to make people aware that if there is some rustling in the bushes, it might not just be a hedgehog, it might be your piggy, they might be keeping an eye out for you!
 
Do you have any RSPCA's in your area Lindsay? I'd contact them just incase she turns up there after being taken in. Oh God, I can't stop thinking of her, you must be up the wall with worry. :'(
 
sorry to hear that about Romey... i hope you find him....even if there is barely a chance....there is always hope....
 
Oh Lindsay, that's just horrific, you poor thing! If it was a cat - pigs do have very thick skins, I remember one of mine getting an injection and the needle being really bent! So it may have just taken her and dropped her, as others have said. Do your neighbours know you've got pigs? Might be worth some door to door knocking.

Wish I could help, hope there's news soon, I put mine out initially without tops on runs and the same could have happened to any of us.

Sending you big hugs

really hope you find her O0 put notice on your front fence, ring vets, rescues, rspca and please keep looking for her, am sending you hugs and healing vibes :smitten:
:smitten: :smitten: also have romey in my prayers O0 please keep us posted and DON'T blame yourself it was an accident that could have happened to anyone,please don't make me come to the UK to 666) 666) 666) you. an idea why not offer money to the neighbours kids and see if they can find her. wishing you luck, take care O0 girls send :-* :-* :-* to you and romey.
 
Good idea about going around to neighbours and see if they can keep their eyes peeled. Also maybe leave some pellets out if she is terrified it may tempt her. I wish their was more I could do. :(

The cat next door Poppy stalks around my barn as if to attack, he (yes Poppy is male ::)) knows the pigs are there and when Radders was in the cage lid made run the other day Radley was up for a fight with the cat! So pigs won't just give in so with any luck Romey got away.
 
Keeping fingers and paws crossed you find her.....I think as the others said I would go and knock on some neighbours doors ,at least if they know they can keep an eye out for you xx
 
Thanks everyone we are in pieces here. I have been to all of the neighbours as all our gardens back on to each other also the same at the sides. Praying it was not a fox but it was light at that time so doubt it.

We have six foot fencing all the way round so it must of been hard for the cat or whatever to get over with her as well. So I'm praying that it has dropped her somewhere. All neighbours on look out.

Rang the vets as well. I'm down as a fosterer for RSPCA so i would hear from Sandra if anything came in. Plus I'm going to ring her as well just incase she gets handed in injured.

Even spoke to the Police Community Support Officer who was walking past and she has logged Romeys details.

God just hoping that we find her. Its hell not knowing. I can still hear that awful cry.

Murphy seems ok getting loads of fuss bless him what must he be thinking. Going to clean them all out now and put Murphy with Trinny ,Susannah and Honey B so he is not on his own.

Lindsay :'(
 
What a nightmare. I really panic about putting my gps in the garden. I know they love it, and we have a big secure outdoor run, but last year I chickened out and kept the run in the garage and only put them out in a temporary run when I was around to supervise. Every time I see a cat I'm out chasing it, although I did once watch one cat go up to the cage and hung back to see what would happen. The gps went straight up to the cat - cat got such a shock it ran off. My main worry is that very occasionally we get youths using out back garden as a shortcut. One morning we woke up to find all the garden furniture re-arrange! >:( I'm paranoid that they might muck about with the run.

I do hope Romey shows up safe and well. Thinking of you.
 
Just talking to my Dad about this. He used to race pidgeons and he said if it was a cat he would have...sorry to say this...killed the pigs right there and then. I'm thinking perhaps it was a hawk. :'(

Ohh gawd lindsay I have just seen this :(
Fingers crossed that you find her and she is ok.
Just wondered and dont want to alarm you but do you get Birds of prey in your area?
Click to expand...

I dont know Graham dont think so as we live in a built up area, not seen anything always have loads of pigeons and crows. Will never stop looking for her bless her.

Murphy has gone in with the girls now and seems fine and eating well. Poor lad must still wonder where she is. :'(
 
That's a relief Lindsay we see hawks here as we are quite open! Crikey we even have the odd duck! Glad Murphy seems ok, bless him. :smitten:
 
Have just caught up with this thread, so very sorry to hear about Romey, keeping all fingers and toes crossed that she does turn up ok in someones garden.
 
Oh Hun i am so sorry, there is nothing worse than losing a pet like this, especially when you don't know what or who took your piggy,

big hug
 
I hope she turns up safe and well, as S&T said maybe ask the neighbours if you put some food in their gardens as it may tempt her if she has gone into hiding.
I would also contact all your local vets, pet shops and rescue centres as someone may find her.
 
Leave familiar things around, he may come back. I have known people who's pigs walked accross the yard to get back into their outside cage, lived in the garden, etc. Leave his pen and other familiar items and some food maybe he will come back. He probably just went for a walk.
 
Hope you find her, what a horrid thing to have happened. I am so sorry :'(
 
Really hope you find her Lindsay :( i doubt a cat would kill her on the spot, few cats kill to eat, they do it to play or to teach their young how to catch food when mine bring mice etc in they're almost always alive :( so theres a good chance it dropped her if it was a cat. Its so frustrating and upsetting, do you have magpies by you? i know they peck at mine when theyre in the run :( but i doubt it would be able to carry her :'( really praying she turns up, dont give up. we're all thinking of you x
 
I'm so very sorry :(

We would all come and help look for Romey if we could
 
OMG. you must be really upset!

Is there anychance somebody stolen her?
