I've had my 2 piggies for around 4 months now. They were settled in nicely and were relaxed with us picking them up etc. however the past week or so Ive noticed some changes and I'm worried they're sick?
Crunchy -always squeaks loudly when i come home from school and when i rustle in the food bag, doesn't squeak as much/ sometimes not at all
- i found a scab on her upper back (ill insert a pic). It has since fallen off and there are no other ones/ scars etc ? Also havent noticed any hair loss
- she is v frantic during laptime. She always loves to explore and sometimes she'd nip you but now she's very energetic and bites me and my clothes constantly (i dont know if this is excitement)
Winnie - havent noticed any changes however i had her out for laptime just now and started squeaking in terror it sounded, this is weird because she is a quiet pig and never ever squeaks
What made me keep a very close eye on them is...
-Both piggies poops are now light brown but normal shape? their poo used to be darker brown!
-they have gone off their pellets! I feed them pellets once a day but now it takes them longer than 24 hours to finish? They do not squeak and run to the bars when I'm getting the pellets ( i loved that ) and when i place the bowl in the cage they dont touch it
I am taking them to the vets tomorrow as its not open today but just wanted to post on here anyways
