Meet Badger

[popcorn paradise]

Badger was being sold in a pet shop, he was extremly small, very thin and had obvious skin problems. We talked to the owner of the shop about him, he claimed he was 8 weeks old. He was NOT! He was barely 8 days old let alone 8 weeks. I took him home. We bathed him and treated him with fungal and parasite shampoo for a week, we saw some improvement in his skin and his hair started to grow back. The biggest improvement was seen a day after he had been here. He had a lovely round tummy! He is prone to infections and colds, he is the happiest piggy we have and constantly popcorns. He is a perminant resident because of his constant infections and is now a sponser piggy.

The following pictures are from the day we got him.

As you can see he was very very sick

BIG BELLY! the next day

Here he is now at 5 months old! He is still tiny, but such a big character

What a lucky piggie Badger is to have been rescued by you. More photos asap please.

 

[popcorn paradise]

He has a very active grease spot! Which can be trying at times rolleyes

Stealing veggies! what a naughty boy!

Looking for the girls!

The food that helped get him bigger! Complan and brown bread, is great nutrition for sick pigs and a nice treat for older piggys.

Please note this is not milk! Do not give your piggys milk

I really need to use my camera more!


Heres a video of him

[HelenRM]

[MommaPiggy]

It looks like Badger may have some long lost brothers

He's adorable. Poor thing, what a bad start...But I'm glad to see that he's looking happier and healthier now.
The difference is really amazing.

He's so lucky that you found him and took him home.

 

[Hoggle*&*Ludo]

LOL @ that picture of him stood on the shower hose, it is as if he is saying "no more!" |)

I love the before and afters, you must be so proud.

 

[popcorn paradise]

Lol thank you, i am pretty proud Those pigtures are lovely! He sends some wheeks. (btw I'm just too lazy to take the shower hose out the bath when they are in there with shampoo soaking in. They are bathed in the sink, not the shower lol)
