First Time In The Playpen.

I think they like it! But i think they had a bit of a scrap in the big box, one of them made an awful sound that i haven't heard before, i didn't want to put me hand in the box to separate them incase i go bit, though there wasn't any scuffling going on as if fighting, so i slowly went in with a spatchula (sp?) and one ran over to the other box, they had some time out and seem ok.
They have been running and jumping around like a pair of nutters!

I once got bit during a fight, being the idiot that I am. I was trying to calm them down but Borris thought I was his brother and bit me. Oops. Spatula, haven't heard that one before! Their probably just figuring out who is boss of that fantastic run you have set up (:

Haha thanks, i'm naff at spelling How long can they stay in it? they have been in since this morning, they run around for a while then take a nap
I have noticed that at first Hamble was the braver one, but that seem's to be changing, its now Jemima thats first out when i offer food/treats.

as long as they have hay and water and everything they need they can be in for quite a while. It's good they're getting used to it, they'll start to enjoy it more!

I have just put them back home, so they have had a good five or so hours playtime, it was real easy too cos they were both in the weetabix box so i just picked that up and put it in the cage.

Great looking run, Was it a high pitch cry, this sometimes happens when piggies try to occupy the same space. Our girls will argue over cosies sometimes even though there are more than enough to go round....

I wouldn't say it was high pitched, i have heard that one, it was one i've never heard, like a throaty curdle, if that makes any sense? didn't sound like a nice sound, it sounded painful, even my son who heard it said *thats sounds painful*
They haven't done it since though.
They were in the same box, but i thought if they were fighting then one of them would of legged it out but none of them did.

They're out today and seem quite happy, they've had a bit of a spat over a dandelion leaf

It looks like they had a lot of fun.
