Hi and welcome to the forum!
Your piggies are simply stunning, you are so lucky to have 9!
 
Vice versa: (I didn't position them like this, they enjoy burrowing!)

I've had Sampson, Peanut and Ruby since the day they were born, thanks to Almond who was sold to me pregnant (unknowingly)! She did so well.
Here are the baby pictures! (Sorry about them being blurred and few; I accidentally deleted a lot :( )

Thanks! :3 Hehe, they have to put up with a lot of modelling for me! Daphne loves it :D
 
Oh you have such a gorgeous herd! They are just beautiful. I am very sorry you lost Ruby. You are welcome to post a tribute to her on the rainbow bridge thread.
 
How do you cope with nine gorgeous furries when two run me ragged some days!
Your herd is stunning, sweethearts every one. I think I will have to buy a pignapping coat, and get in before some other forum members have the same idea!
 
Awe what a lovely pig family you have and what excellent pigtures I especially love the ones where they are all lined up how did you manage that, you must be a piggy whisperer, all your piggies are all so lovely and your cousins pigs are very lovely as well, it's nice to know that there are other ppl with lots of pigs as well I have 8 of my one males and females who all live in groups of twos or threes, codos on the pics again so sweet.

Thank-you, that's very kind of you, I'll definitely be sharing the time I had with her there (: My piggies really are my pride and joy, I don't know what I'd do without them!

Daphne is so pretty with that flower in her hair, and Almond the dragon did make me chuckle :))

Haha, thank-you! They're such good natured little things, they let me muck around with different head-gear for pictures!

It's hard work- especially feeding them quickly when they're wheeting! When they're in the run I have to count them to make sure they're all there! After that comment, I'll make sure to count them more often! ;)

Thanks! It was hard, as they all kept huddling up like the pic quoted 'huddle time'! I had someone come out and help, so I'd line then up and they'd keep them lined for the pigture! They all got lots of grass after as a reward! Aw wow, that sounds lovely! Do you have pigtures anywhere? I'd love to see them!

Wow they're stunning little piggies! I'd love that many. :)

Thank-you! They're so addictive. I'm really glad I have the room for them- originally the shed I keep them in was a mini kennel for a dog I used to have (sadly there was something wrong with him mentally, and he had to be put down after attacking me) so when I got the pigs I already had the space for them which was lovely (:

No unfortunately I don't have a nice pigture of them all lined up mostly because most them hate each others guts at least it's that way with my 4 boys I have a thread called me and my pig fam there is pics of mostly all of my pigs there if you wanna have a look see
 
They are all so gorgeous! I feel like I want to just scoop them all up and give them all a big piggy cuddle :love:
 
Hello and welcome to the forum! You have a gorgeous group of piggies! :)
 
Such a stunning herd you have! I adore the group pictures! I've been meaning to try and do the same one of these days. :)
 
Thank-you all! :D
Bruschnazzy, let me know if you do! I'd love to see the pigture! :P

Sadly Coco and Tiffany are leaving to go home today! I'm going to miss them!

I have 8 (used to be 9) and believe me when I say you might not be saying u r lucky if it was u! Cleaning 4 cages every week taking 4-5hrs sometimes (scrubbing, drying, hoovering, sticking newspaper together for the base etc) is such a chore especially as some of the piggies think it's funny to immediately rip the sellotape & newspaper off for a nibble, which means that the bedding gets stuck under it and it looks like a bomb has hit it after a week lol ..then when after 2-3 days u start getting a strong urine smell and your flat smells like a farm when u enter..and u don't have the energy or time to spend another 4-5hrs 2-3x a week doing it all again, the novelty wears very thin let me tell u!

I have decided to get rid of at least 2-3 more as it's just become too much work and I don't want to invite anyone round as they will be sat down with the constant whiff of a dodgy alley/homeless vagrant whilst they r in my flat. [emoji40]

Frankly, its much easier and less work to have a cat as a pet than our dear piggies!

Aww! I guess it's better for me, as I have a shed outside for them so the smell isn't too bad! I've had 6 for 3 years, and then 3 more for just over 6 months, so my cleaning out stamina is quite good! xD
I must admit that they do get really smelly- I can't imagine having so many in flat, it must have been so much work!
