Dryw/Wren's updates thread

[Wiebke]

I am happy to say that @Flutterby's little foster baby has embraced her new family, and especially her huge new daddy boar Pioden with so much joy that she never noticed her mother leaving. Dryw definitely has a playful and even mischievous side!

Here is a video from a play session on the first evening with 5 years old Pioden, who has to learn how to get fit quickly!

Haha, he’s never going to catch that little lady!

Sleeping with her adopted 'Daddy boar' Pioden


And here is her first breakfast with her new family consisting of 5 years old Pioden and nearly 8 years old frail Hedydd, the last surviving of Pioden's four wives. Dryw is not old enough to challenge Hedydd and as Pioden is very gentle and careful with her and she is far too agile for him, his size is not an issue for her.

She’s a beauty and a lucky little girl to have such a great new home.
She seems so happy now

 

[Flutterby]

I'm so happy she's with you Wiebke!

In mood for some furry popping popcorn? Here is Dryw before she discovers that she can leave the cage...
@Flutterby

If you can watch this without a silly smile plastered all over your face, you must be inhuman!

Such boundless energy and joy. Wow she can jump. It’s so lovely to watch.

 

[Flutterby]

Just what I needed this early in a morning! Lovely!

 

[Sophie B]

Awwww she’s settled in great! Pioden’s in for a treat

 

[Swissgreys]

What a fantastic ending for everyone Wiebke.

 

[Betsy]

I forgot just how bouncy and fast little piggies are!

 

[Merab]

That’s one very happy little lady.
She’s so beautiful and such fun to watch

 

[Wiebke]

Dryw had her first free roaming day and hasn't taken long to cotton on! Even Pioden has been been inspired to behave like youngster again, as you can see at the end. Guinea pigs don't do dancing, but there's definitely some 'dad-corning' going on!

[Merab]

Dryw is so tiny compared to Pioden when you see them together like that.
Watching him popcorn is so funny

 

[Betsy]

Watching him popcorn is so funny

I laughed out loud when I saw the "Dad-corning"

 

[piggieminder]

What a brave little thing she is running around outside the cage. They look so lovely together, little and large.

 

[Seven7]

She is one lucky girl to have found such a wonderful home with you, @Wiebke.
In addition, she has a big teddy bear watching over her,

 

[Flutterby]

She is amazing, so confident! Pioden is such a good dad-boar!

He is definitely one in the face for anybody who thinks that a large boar will harm babies in any way...

It is really lovely to see how gentle he is with Dryw, and also how much more vocal and playful he has become since her arrival. Her first season is going to be likely somewhat dramatic, though! But even then the older ones are doing their best to reassure any youngsters and try to be as gentle and careful as possible.

 

[VickiA]

That’s a lot of boar to get off the ground. So sweet to see he is so happy and she is so confident. Much more confident than my little one from the Manchester 10 x

 

[eileen]

How fantastic is that !they make a lovely couple !

 

[Flutterby]

It's such a world of difference between them bless xx

 

[pig in the city]

Absolutely gorgeous!

 

[Wiebke]

I did a very short little photoshoot with Dryw today - not the easiest thing with a wiggly little baby!

 

[Flutterby]

 

[Merab]

She’s so very cute

 

[Wiebke]

Another popcorning orgy! @Flutterby

 

[Claire W]

She’s just adorable and melts my heart xx

[Bill & Ted]

She is full of beans (jumping beans!)
