Kasper sits here for around an hour at a time a few times a day. He has lots to do and also runs around..is he bored? :(

He looks content and relaxed to me. How could he be bored with so much space and freedom? You have two lucky boys.
 
I don't know just feeling a bit depressed and it is deciding to tell me that I can't look after the boys :(
 
That is just the depression talking. It is mean like that. You are a fantastic mum to your boys and they are so loved and well cared for.
 
Check for warm spots. Theres a hot water pipe that runs under my bedroom floor that gets warm when the boilers on. Your guaranteed to find a piggie relaxing on that spot.
 
One of my boars likes to sit like this. If Kasper was unhappy he would be hunched up and puffy looking, and even then that can just be them feeling the cold a bit! My boy often feels the cold and he'll be all puffed up but I put him on my lap and his feet warm up. Kasper looks like hes chilling out!

Thank you Gigi. They are eating coriander and peppers now :)

@Piggly & @Harry&lloyd he isn't puffy at these times and he probably just likes staring at stuff haha x
 
Aww maybe he's daydreaming about carrots and hay meadows :luv: or secretly plotting how to get to the fridge without you noticing
 
I don't think he's bored but he is gorgeous. My pigs sit and chill for ages. We call it "rugging" as they've long hair. I'd love a pink eyed white piggy again. I've just shown the other half this and planted the seed :-)
 
Do you sit on that sofa by him? I once had a pig during floor time was like a dog, he Would sit next to whatever chair I was in.
 
His stance in the foto looks normal i.e. not hunched up etc. Most of our piggies do this at some point in the day.

I rarely sit on the sofa but when I do he sits there. Never thought of that, thank you!
 
Looking at Kasper, reminds us of your avatar photo, Just practising his Diva look... xx

Also staying out in the open also indicates he feels safe in his surroundings and can do what he wants..

Sending you hugs from all of us x

Thank you Lisa and Ali :)

He definitely does what he wants! Hope all your piggies are just as happy and yourselves of course ;)
