Finally, after what seems like WEEKS of waiting, I collected Gubbins and Beryl from Honeybunnies today. It's KILLING me to leave them alone to settle in {:|. They were initially in their respective cosies (Gubbins has only been neutered a week so they're currently in adjoining pens) - but I found they were getting really damp and 'sweaty'. Is this because they were actually sweating (do piggies sweat?) or is it just because they were breathing fast due to being a bit stressed? I took the cosies out and just let them bury themselves in hay instead.

Beryl (aged 5.5) has already snuck out for some nosh (when I wasn't looking) but poor Gubbins (age unknown) is really frightened and has only managed to move from one litter tray to the next. I'm hoping he'll nip out for some nosh overnight when it's all quiet.

Piccies to follow in a day or two when they've had time to settle in. All you'd see at the moment is piggie bums anyway :))
 
Congratulations I'm sure they will both settle down with a bit of time, they just need to take a breather after the big move.:(|)
 
They do get sweaty bellies when they are stressed out - should be fine in a couple of days. Can't wait to see piccies! :)
 
Give then a bit of time and space to settle in - I know it's EVER so hard; but you are doing fine.

I am looking forward to pictures when they are ready for a photoshoot!
 
Well both Gubbins and Beryl are very chirrpy this morning and are happy to be 'out and about' with me sat next to their cage. Soooooooooo ................ I decided to take a couple of snaps whilst I was cleaning out their litter trays.

Meet Beryl.......
