Clock watching now for our new boy arriving to meet his Diva wifepigs drool
The three Himi sisters we rescued in September 2011 are finally meeting their huspig today and we're praying they fall in love.
Check list all done and bonding pen set up on neutral ground in our lounge where no piggy has ventured before ;) Lots of new cosies, bowls and toys etc. to pop in the main piggy set up if things go ok over the next few days and we can trust the ladies with the dashingly handsome fella xoxo
Orion is a little Himi neutered boar we discovered in rescue and have patiently waited for his six week post op date to arrive so am nervous and excited...it has been my dream for so long to find him and the waiting has paid off x)
If plan A doesn't work, we have a very laid back trio of other girls who may like him so that is plan B. Plan C is if bonding doesn't happen, we will find him a little buddy and he will live with another needy piggy thus taking our piggy family up to 20 fur babies here...said we wouldn't have more when we had 12 :x
Paws crossed and will update hopefully this evening...I'm curtain twitching for the new arrival :))
Bonding vibes needed please :)p
 
oh blimey, exciting times, fingers crossed it all works out, bonding vibes defo being sent from all here xxxxx

ps cant wait to see piccies i miss having a little himi x

...and scary too :x I'm sooo nervous as the girls are little minx's and hope Orion will be perfect for them rolleyes
The lovely Clare is on her way as we speak so at least we have an experienced person to help introduce as she bonded Sally with Tilly Tattybum and Winnie-Woo xx>>>
I've told the girls to be nice to him and there's treats in store but they're too busy bickering over the heat pad :x
Will keep you updated x>>

It'll be fine, your girls are divas aren't they. He'll calm them down, they'll love him.

Looking forward to updates

Give our love to Clare x
 
Oh Bonding - i remember it well - a week of rumbling and sqeeks - its never ehat you imagine it to be,but it all works out in the end - good luck xx
 
Well all the butterflies I had were in vain, Orion (now known as Zhen) loves his new wifepigs and they love him too :)) Minor rumblestruts and sniffing for a few minutes, he tried humping each of the girls but got put in his place so then they shared parsley together whilst we waited for any developments, scuffles etc. After around an hour, Maia (top piggy and 101% Diva) was asleep with her head resting on his back - a sight I thought could only ever exist in my head x)
All went like a dream and looks like we have a happy little family, Zhen has been exploring a bit more today, had a few zoomie attacks and popcorning around his new home whilst his wifepigs lazed around wondering what all the fuss was about ?/
Certainly a lively little fella and not shy...will pop piccies on later, just want to let him settle a bit more before aiming the camera at him :))
A little history on this fella was he was a child's pet...forgotten and disinterested in like so many so was rescued from a tiny, filthy hutch covered with poo's...hope he soon gets used to vet bedding, fleece tunnels, heat pads, toys and lots of lovely fresh food ;)
Overjoyed it went well and that we've been able to give another needy little piggy a loving and comfy home here :(|)
Another reason why all rescues absolutely rock in my world...:)p
 
So pleased he has settled in well. Looking forward to photos x

ooooooohhhhhhhhh i cannot wait for pigtures of the handsome fella (with his wives of course) - and if i ask nicely, can we have some other piggie pics too??

I love seeing pics of your pigs - i can't help it they are all totally scrummy x)x)x)x)
 
Managed to get a couple of pics this evening after leaving Zhen to settle into the Himi Harem :)p
They're getting along really well together and he keeps pinching the girls fleece tunnels so need to order him a boy one so he can have some 'man space'.
Anyhow, here is the little fella stuffing his face with his wifepigs:

He is on the left of piccy, (not the stuffed toy) a little smaller than the girls who are chubsters :x

Makes me go cross eyed having these piggies running around and is lovely to see him snuggled up with the girls. Really chuffed we went ahead finding the girls a huspig and helped a little needy fella looking for love x)
 
Sorry I missed the pictures Tracy. He is drool in fact all your piggies are... x)

He is so tiny compared to his ladies, I'm sure he'll soon fill out with you!

The girls were very lean when we rescued them and I thought it was the 'breed' as I had siamese cats for years and they were sleek and long in length (not that that's significant mallethead) They're right little chubsters now :x
He'll certainly 'fill out' here, he's enjoying lots of veggies, not struck on peppers but woofs down dill and coriander like it's going out of fashion. Seems to prefer the girls Wagg pellets as well now much to their disgust :(|)
Laughing at him popcorning earlier, he jumps all over the fleece tunnels regardless of any one of his wifepigs trying to have a snooze in there...playful and happy little chappy :(|)

:)) Sounds a character! He's obviously settling in and keeping his women in check - much like me and Rach... Ah.. My lifes they other way around isn't it :))

He'll soon get bigger! Love the 4 of them together, totally drool
