I have two boys I have homed. They are lovely looking piggies.
They arrived yesterday around tea time and about 30 mins later, Pip started wheeking. She hardly shut up all night. lol. She has calmed down now though. I think she was excited that there was a couple of boys in the house. I will be getting her a companion very soon as I know she wants one.
These are the boys, first Dutch then Hodge (the shy one)




They are eating well and settling in very well.
My wife and I had them on our laps last night for a while and I will let them settle for a couple of days then start to handle them again.
 
Cute. And I love the newspaper pattern snuggle sack. :nod:
 
Thanks all.
They have two snuggle tunnels and two snuggle beds. They love tomatoes and dandelion leaves. More than Pip. lol.
 
I definitely have the piggy bug. They are cuddly and love to be cuddled.
 
They are beautiful, they have landed on their little paws in a great home with you. Can't wait to hear lots more about them.

Dutch is really striking colour wise. Both gorgeous :love:
 
Thanks. I have had dutch out today and combed him. He seemed to like it. He was giving me guinea kisses on the arm. At first, I thought he was trying to bite the hairs off my arm but he was kind of making them movements but also licking my arm. He prefers to be stroked around his shoulders more than his back.
I have to get Hodge out from hiding to hold him. He is very shy. When i get him out, I will take some better photos of him. It will only be with my ipad, but its all I have now. I got rid of my camera because I could take pics and only half would store or none at all on the sd card. Useless cam and ipad more reliable. lol.

Awww Piggy Kisses, very special indeed :) Piggies always tend to have their favourite spots to be fussed. We have two chin rub piggies and two head rub piggies :) One of our previous piggies enjoyed a shoulder rub.

Hodge will become less shy in time for sure, we have had a few shy ones in the past, but they do become used to you in time. Looking forward to seeing more photos of your pigs!

Great pictures! You can put the fleeces over the mattress protector, to keep the mess down! Glad Dutch is giving you kisses, he's very friendly!

Thanks. Didnt think of that way. When I put the cage together last night, it took ages and I noticed this morning that I could have used the connector pieces a different way connecting the loft to the base part. Still, it is all together with loads of cable ties. I have to buy more as the ones on it are thin and easily broken. I will buy stronger ones. I will put a fleece on top. ;)
 
Your pigs are gorgeous! And yes to the fleece over the mattress cover! I actually get baby crib mattress pads and water absorbent cloth diapers and sew fleece over them. Works great/easy to clean and wash, and is comfy for the piggies.
 
There is puppy training pads on the bottom, some megazorb on them, two fleeces and the protector sheet. Now the fleece is on the top.
The loft on top of the cage just has hay in it. The piggies slept in there last night, but mostly in hte wooden house I made and in the fleece tunnel with the sculls on it. I have no idea where they will sleep tonight though.
I have put two water bottles on the cage (I had a spare one) and have put a larger food dish for them to share at the same time and their original feed bowls as well. Just incase Hodge (the dominant one) stops Dutch from eating when he is hungry and having to wait.
