Hi guys this is my problem maybe you can help or suggest stuff to maybe sort it out
I have got a 10 week old Hoblitt called stripey which you may have met from my other thread anyway the problem is this
How do I run the pair of them into pets at home play in closure with that stripey deciding he wants to try and get out of the PEN so we can explore the rest of the room and because his bones are so Bendy I think you might be able to get out
I have tried to give Choc some down time in the pen on his own today I need to spend our time shouting for stripey so I can't win I thought I would go to sleep but he hasn't
So I don't know how to get rid of stripey is everlasting energy because obviously he's not been run because I'm scared of him getting on the loose
Any ideas...
I mean he might just be wide enough so we can't get out because his bones are so Bendy there is always the possibility that he could get out
I don't know what to do please help very frustrated and stressed out rodent mummy
If stripey did get out that would be a problem because he is so fast I don't think I'll be able to catch him and I also have no site so that always makes escapees fun
Thanks for reading
 
I also have no way of baby proofing it to make the bottom of the ball is not able to get out so I'm kind of stuck really I don't know what to do
That's why I came in and asked you guys to see if you had any ideas as to how to tie a row 10 we can't let it apparently bouncing about the place I don't think he ever sleeps
No matter what time I get up at night to go to the bathroom is always bouncing around right the way through the night doesn't matter what time I'm up he's always up
Per Choc
I really feel for him because he's an older peg I need to know what to do that stripey either but I put him in the pen on his own to have some down time and some space be spent our time shall I have a stripey so I can't bloody win
He knows stripey syndicate and he isn't and you got very upset so I ended up having to put in back in the cage and I've been run mad because Skype is trying to can't be jumped on his back and Choc isn't too happy with that
Stripey is driving chocolate and myself mad
I don't know whether babies get their energy from is like that well-known brand of battery he just keeps going
 
Do you have a bath tub?
If so you could put him in there for a bit of a run and a change of scenery.

But because their bond is still quite new I wouldn't separate Choc and Stripey for too long unless Choc really seems stressed.

How big is their cage?

And maybe you could try giving Stripey some things to chew and destroy to help distract him and keep him entertained.
Does he have lots of stuff like toilet rolls, boxes, chew toys, willow balls (a favorite in this house) to play with?
If I know mine won't be able to get out of their cage for a few days I scatter small amounts of fresh food and pea flakes through their hay trays, and hide veg around the cage to keep them busy.

Good luck - baby piggies are a lot of fun!
 
There are quite a few different textured toys he can bite and throw in case someone hung up as well so he has to at the swings of them degrees in minehead stripey isn't
Running him in the bath is not an option because my bathroom has no heating in it and it's probably about 2° above freezing I don't want either as I'm getting ill which is why I have not worn them enough it's just too cold
I think I might just have to bite the bullet and put stripes in the pan along with chalk because he does actually follow what chocolate does so I'm wondering if he went in the pen on his own then he will try and get out but if I put Choc and him in the pen together along with a nice big bowl of yummy leaves and a nice little house in the tire need to get sleepy night night saying he might not get out but there is always that risk of him getting out
But trying to give Choc around on his own is not possible because it gets distressed because I can't see Westlife years and a soon as I put chocolate in the cage he back on the stripey hung and stood on him to make sure you was that she still there which stripey protested that rather loudly but then he seemed to calm down by sister by sleeping now I do drive me nots
Sorry my dictation that sentence did not make any sense what I was trying to say was the soonest Choc went back in the cage he went to find a restaurant if he was and found him by standing on him and stripey squeaked and now they've gone back to sleep together they drive me mad the pair of them
So I am at a bit of a loss as to what to do about strophe and chocs running arrangements because the boss is out of the question hell I can't even have a proper shower and now it's that cold so I'm not paying guinea pigs in that they get really sick hell and surprise I haven't got the sick
This dictation is rubbish today it's putting in stupid words why it does that I don't know I wish it wouldn't
I feel like I'm failing them because I haven't rung them but I'm a bit scared of stripey trying to break free he might not though because if he follows what shop does he realise it's somewhere safe but he can playing but I don't know and this is always the risk as stripey be able to get out but I can't run them on the Rhône because I get too distressed and that's not nice for me to hear or for them to go through
 
I will leave in together in the cage again today and then run them tomorrow morning and see what happens but what I'm going to do is remove anything edible from the floor set up all stripey will be able to smell is the word flakes and then he won't try and get out to get the hay bales are anything like that is it anything I can think of to try and improve the situation
I have to do something I can't allow stripey to drive either Choc all me up the wall because of his energy anymore
It's not fair on either me or Paul Choc
 
Maddy have you thought of getting some c&c grids and capable tying them together? They make excellent runs and are inescapable even for the tiniest of pig..don't worry babies don't stay babies forever... He will quieten down
 
Well I decided to bite the bullet and put the pair of them in the play area
Stripey is too busy exploring the new space and playing with an eating all the yummy food in there are you hasn't tried to make a break for freedom
He is currently destroying the box
Oh the joys of being a hoglet
:)
