So, our 4 piggies arrived on Tuesday - the c&c cage was supposed to arrive on Tuesday too, but was delayed and arrived yesterday. So their 1st night with us they camped out in a chest of drawers turned on it's back.....teddy and piggley woo are more tame than their brothers but we can work on that.
Iggledy piggledy had a large wound on his neck so was seen by our local vet, he was diagnosed with mites aswell as too much wax in his ears. He has a course of antibiotics and I got mite spot on for all 4.
Dopey got his name because he is such a dopey little guy, he tipped the food bowls up 4 times in the 1st night here, ran under the fleece to hide instead of the hidey houses then kicked up a fuss when he couldn't get out - u could see this lump moving under the fleece and hear his cries. Then when we put them in the c&c cage, he ran straight into the bars!
I do have 1 question, should I wait 4 weeks until I give them a bath as I only put the spot on treatment on yesterday?
I will upload pictures later, they are stunning little furbabies.x
 
Aww sweet. How old are they? All boys? Can we see pics of pigs and c&c cage. I love looking at others set ups 😊

Made me laugh about the dopey pig. I had a pig called pip that i used to put his veg in the same place everyday, then after a while i put a new wooden house in that spot.
I went to put the veg in his cage just after and pip got all excited and ran straight into the wall of the wooden house. Lol
 
Yes, all boys. Not sure on their ages, but think Ted is older than his brothers.
Iggledy piggledy has been a super star patient, bless him. He is happy to be held as long as I put a sheet over him. He prefers to be around my chest area, he's such a snuggle bug! The vet has asked me to keep a check on his weight as he is the smaller of the 4.
I am hoping to get pictures on here, fingers crossed I can figure this out! Lol. The set up atm looks bare as we've removed the soft hidey houses and replaced them with cardboard boxes until the mites have gone. I've also had to remove the toys as they are all soft too. They are all sharing the same set up right now and seem fine, but I have a second c&c cage ordered for if and when we need to split them into 2 pairs.
I do love them all very much, just hope that the spot on treatment is fast acting as I don't like to think of them suffering. I am going to have to let the lady know as she has other piggies, but I don't know how to word it without sounding like I'm having a dig at her. 🤔
Thank u for the congratulations, I'm so made up.x

This is the set up, a bit basic right now, but hopefully have it back to a luxury pad soon. 😉
