She's now 13 days old and weighs in at 225 gms, getting bigger by the day. ;)
 
Oh rats! i've just got back from a course, checked on junior and "she" happens to be a "he" He has been renamed "Che" and is moving out in a couple of days. The girls are going in one hutch and junior is moving in with Bart until he's old enough to have his undercarriage fixed! :...
 
How unexciting would life be without your piggies... :))

Best of luck for the little boy!
 
Problems already, see my post in the care section!

:o Does he have different coloured ears?! That's soo cute drool
Congrats to Lola for having such a little cutie x)
 
He has different coloured ears and his two back legs are different colours too! :)
 
I'm so proud of Barty, as the weather was nice, I decided to try Rebel on the garden to see what he thought. They were supervised by me at all times for safety. He was never more than 2 foot away from Bart. Junior got his head down and was munching fresh grass for England, whilst Bart munched in the opposite direction till they were about 20 feet apart. All of a sudden, a bird flying overhead squawked and startled Rebel making him squeal with fright. Bart looked up, saw where he was and sprinted across the garden and stood over him to protect him. I think I can safely say they've bonded and Bart is very protective of his new hutch mate. :)) :)) :))
 
He's coming on leaps and bounds, he's now a very adventurous young man who knows no fear and loves nothing more than exploring his new surroundings (supervised of course.) He's also doubled in size!

A few up to date photos. Rebel is very settled with Bart and is like a second skin to him. Wherever Bart is, Rebel can be found close by. ;)

What makes me chuckle about Rebel is that he's smooth haired apart from a Mohican right down the middle of his back! :)) :)) :))
 
Rebel is blossoming into a right handsome little man :)

I'll update with pigtures of the 2 girls when I can get them to sit still long enough! :)) :)) :))
 
You'll have to get past Betty the guard bunny, whenever they're out in the garden together, she stands guard over him and chases cats away. :)
 
One of the girls is in season at the moment, Rebel doing what he does best, the dirty boy. Get down, that's your mum! :)) :)) :))

It looks like my worst fears are coming true. After the cat attack, I thought Rebel may have got to both girlies. 4 weeks after the event, they have both put a lot of weight on round their middle and back ends! I'm hoping it's because they've had a lot of time on the grass munching away. I'll know better in a couple of weeks, I'll keep you all posted. malletheadmalletheadmallethead
 
Thankfully he's off to the vet next week to have his crown jewels removed, so that should put paid to any further shenanigans! ;)
 
He's going to be living with the girlies hopefully. They're already bonded - when they're in the pen, Rebel is running round the outside. The girls sniff him and rub noses against the mesh.
 
Update on this, 8 and a half weeks after the event. I was having lap time this evening. Lola is wide, but she is soft round the middle, so it appears her size is down to good living and a wild fluffy coat. Angel, however is a different kettle of fish. She feels a whole lot heavier than usual, she is sitting with one back leg out to the side as if she is trying to balance the weight. I've felt gently round her middle. It is nothing like Lola's tummy, hers is hardish and feels like there is possibly 2 or 3 new arrivals imminent! I've made her hutch comfortable with plenty of fresh hay and clean shavings. I'm on tenterhooks waiting for the big day to arrive. Going on the date of the moggie attack, she is the full 10 weeks on the 31st May, so I'm expecting the patter of tiny paws anywhere in the next 10 days! :0
 
Well due date has been and gone, so it looks like Rebel didn't have his wicked way after all and Angel is indeed a fat pig! :))
