I'm sure most people will have heard that skinny pigs poop A LOT but for anyone who doesnt have a little naked hippo friend...

Most of these poops were hidden in a rather fragrant snuggle sack (a clean one added at bedtime yesterday) that I just emptied out...!
 
Some may be Ollie's but I had already emptied his bed poops into the bin... and the photo doesnt include the hay area where most of the poops are! So many poops and wees for such a little bum... I think the wees are worse than the poops, wherever Tallulah-oollah sleeps needs changing every day!

Skinny pigs are not for the faint hearted... or for anyone who dislikes poop scooping and laundry... or for anyone who wants undisturbed sleep actually! My nights often go like this:

Me: zzzzzzz
Tallulah: Chirp chirp! Mummy I am copying that video of chirping I heard on your phone arent I clever? Look I am chirping at the moon!
7 other pigs: Wheek wheek alert! There is chirping! Wheek wheek wheek alarm alarm!
Me: wtf? (Runs downstairs to check no burglars and house is not on fire)

Or...
Me: zzzzzzz
Tallulah: Wheeeeeek! Wheeeeeek! Mummy I tried get in my house but I went too fast and sat on the roof instead and squashed it then I weed and it is wet and I am cold and on the roof and missed the door and not in my bed wheeeek!
7 other pigs: wheek?! Bang crash alarm calls. Concerned chuckle noises.Wheek?! Is something wrong?!
Me: wtf? Ok Tallulah baby dont worry, Mummy is coming to take you off the house roof and put the house back into shape and hold the door open while you get in bed...

On a good night its just the 3am water bottle rattling and haycube crunching that at least doesnt set the others off! Crazy hippo I love her so much she's so weird :)

I pick poo up with my hands, doesn't bother me, I do with rats too, but not gerbils because they always wee on their poo. Gerbil pee stink to high heavens!

What is it about 3am and always hoping they didn't wake up the neighbours?

I really grossed out a therapy dog owner over the weekend, I went to adjust Rapunzel and 4 poops flung across the room! The piggies are not supposed to poop when they are on therapy visits (yeah right, they always poop of course). I jumped up and picked up the turds with my bare hands and the lady was really freaked out! Then I went on to explain how guinea pigs eat their own poop right from their butt just to freak her out more.

They are poop factories. Jasmine my skinny is with my smallest piggie, Anna, they make more poops than the other cages with 3 pigs each!
 
So it has come to this... Neither of mine are skinny pigs (in any sense of the word!) but I have just counted Primrose and Stanley's poos from the last 24 hours and the grand total is 464. Roughly 232 each. And part of the reason why I decided to get guinea pigs instead of rats is that I thought they would be cleaner XD
