Blimey well its been months - we have moved and just about settled in - the piggies have been dispersed about the house for the time being - Snickers and a very hairy Darwin are downstairs, Bugsy and Cadbury are in the pigsty otherwise known as Cia's bedroom.
Outdoor hutches are being made to order as we speak as my landlord has said they have to go outside but he is making allowances at the moment due to the weather and the fact that even with them in the house they are not making any mess or causing any damage.
I just wondered if anyone else has come across this certain lil behaviour...
I was away for a couple of days over Christmas - we left late Christmas Eve but we were back by late afternoon Christmas Sunday. I arranged with my best friend to come in and make sure they were ok and feed the boys and knowing her partner has a very soft spot for my lads I knew they were in for some serious cuddles and spoiling whilst I wasn't looking lol.
When we got back I noticed Snickers wasn't himself, sat in house all the time, not eating unless he was hand fed and being generally stroppy and I thought Oh heck he is poorly again and was keeping a close eye on him. This went on for a couple of days. I put Pro-C in their water to buck him up a bit and then I noticed when I picked him up that he had lost weight so I made him up his own plate of veggies and had him on my knee - well you've never seen anything like it! They didn't touch the sides and he was chatting and wheeking away, climbing all over me and giving me guinea kisses...miraculous recovery!
I have come to the conclusion that my lil guy was sulking because I went away and left him so he was giving me the cold shoulder treatment for a couple of days...has anyone else had their piggies do this?
