Merab's Herd

[Merab]

It’s coriander time



They went at the coriander as if they’d never been fed.
Four piggies chomping eagerly released the full pungent odour of coriander and reminded me why I really can’t stand it.

Thank you @PigglePuggle for introducing my herd to it!

 

[Merab]

Time for some piggy spam.
I’m sure that Priscilla’s fur is a life form in its own right!

 

[Bill & Ted]

I think I need to send Bill and Ted round to Pigglepuggle the boys hate it!

 

[Flutterby]

They are all gorgeous as usual!

 

[VickiA]

Beautiful photos.

Micah loves burrowing into the hay pile and then eating his way out

[Merab]

Micah and Phoebe have developed a special friendship. Phoebe is the one who will play chase around the cage with him.

 

[alpacasqueak]

So sweet!

 

[VickiA]

How lovely that he has a favourite wife.

Bought a present for the piggies while we were in York today - a new hay bag



I will, of course, have to eat the contents. A sacrifice but the piggies are worth it

ooo how lovely! How long will they need to wait for the contents to be devoured?

 

[VickiA]

Lovely hay bag....

 

[Merab]

The contents will have to be put in a cupboard so the piggies can have the bag. There’s Easter eggs in that bag

 

[Bill & Ted]

Haha Hotel Chocolat!

 

[PoptartShop]

Oooh such a cute little herd. They are gorgeous! They will love that hay bag too!

The piggies have had a very exciting day today.
First Micah had to go to the vet who is very happy with the way his eye is healing.
Then a PiggyParcel arrived with some of their favourite flower mix forage and green oat forage.
And then .....just as they thought the day couldn’t get any better a pasta bowl of fresh grass arrived, cut with scissors just for them.

 

[Merab]

I was in my study next to the piggy room when suddenly Jemimah started up - she has a very loud wheel.
I went to see what was going on to discover it was nothing more than a complaint that all the grass had been eaten so please could they have some more

 

[Merab]

Wheek- not wheel!

 

[Merab]

Cage clean and health check today and we had fun as always.
Priscilla screamed blue murder when I lifted her out the cage, brought my husband rushing through from the kitchen!
She’s a bit more of a diva than usual - hope it’s just a strong season


Phoebe wriggled like crazy then back in the cage and into the hay bag


Jemimah is just a placid piggy of mature years



Micah was so good today at having his eye drops and Metacam. The eye is definitely looking better



All piggies in good condition and good weights.
Happily stuffing themselves in a nice clean cage

Dear Micah

So pleased to hear you are taking my advice and co-operating when your slave puts your eyedrops in. You'll find your eye gets better quicker.

Lots of healing wheaks
Christian

 

[Merab]

Dear Christian,
I have appreciated your advice very much and today I was very good at letting my slave get me out the cage.
I played a new game this morning. I pretended to have really bad hiccups while slave was holding me and trying to put the eye drops in.
I thought it was very funny.

Love from Micah

Time to give Priscilla some attention. Her fur was developing a life of its own and her bum needed trimming so......
The bum bath with her new bottle of Gorgeous Guineas shampoo.
She was not impressed.
And a good trim - don’t think I’ll give up the day job!

[piggles 7000]

Your piggie hair trimming is better than mine.One of my piggie boys who has similar hair looks like hes had a fight with a pudding bowl!

 

[alpacasqueak]

Aah she looks beautiful with her new ‘do @Merab's Slave

Thank you - it's nice to be able to tell which end is which, at least for now

This morning in the cage.
I think Micah had a busy night - he was obviously exhausted but perked up as soon as breakfast was delivered.
