I heard about a piggy a couple of weeks ago thatās owners were rehoming him because the kids were bored. Heās been living alone (in a hutch in the garden) since being separated from his cagemate after he beat him up (and there was blood shed) I was then told the piggy was in my town! Got sent a pic of the little man and fell in love but so soon after Jess I felt bad so I said Iād take the little guy temporarily!
Obviously that quickly changed and decided he wasnāt going to go anywhere! He arrived on Friday!
And Iām so glad I said Iād take him, turns out he was bought as a Halloween present(!) with his cagemate in 2018, has been picked on from the start but the other guy really went to town on him at age 1 apparently. Heās got a split ear and a few nibbles on the other. Heās never been fed veg, grass occasionally but it appears heās been a pellet piggy.
But I was shocked at his size, heās absolutely tiny! I weighed him yesterday and heās 869g! So tiny Jess was actually bigger and weighed more than him at his age!
Despite all that heās bloody amazing and is blowing me away with his little happy brave nature! Found his wheek a little while ago while I was talking to him, was having a paper bag and hay pile party this morning (after being terrified of the bag last night!) listening to noisy Aliona in heat in the other room and has been stuffing his face!
Heās in quarantine in my bedroom for now, getting fattened up and gazed at (and the odd happy cry when he gets excited or does something new cuz Iām a soppy beast!)
So anyway, some pics of the beautiful fuzzy man Iām smitten with already, meet Jasper (formally Casper but that was Rosie and Daisy the catās brother so weāre honouring my Jess with a J!)
And to show his teeny size
And Iām a scrawny beggar! Heād look much smaller without his fuzzy bum too poor chap. Heās having teeny tiny bits of veg etc so I dont upset his little tummy thatās never had it and although he was going to have the nickname of Jasper Carrot it appears heās not too fussed with carrots at the moment!
