Not A Very Successful Experiment.....

One of my boys is still dropping the occasional bits of root vegetable out of their mouth when eating. A visit to the vet back in the middle of June proved inconclusive, and both youngsters have continued to gain weight at a steady pace since the visit.

It is still happening occasionally - although not every time they get beetroot or carrot as a treat so I'm keeping an eye on things.

This morning I attempted to crack which of my boys it was that is dropping their vege. I divided the run, provided them with half a small carrot each and put one boy each side of the divide. That didn't last long! Young Brunel pushed with way down the smallest of gaps between a box and the run wire to join his companion. Back to the drawing board on that one.


Hormones have also hit - so whilst they seem desperate to be together there is some chasing and challenging going on. Boys! I hope it passes fairly swiftly, there's been no teeth chattering or serious challenging yet.

Typical piggies, I remember once when treacy was poorly with bloat we divided her and Cookies cage so we could monitor poo output. We were overjoyed to walk in and see a fully formed poo. Then saw a fully formed Cookie sitting next to her sister in the sticks

Hope you can get to the bottom of the food dropper, hopefully the hormonal phase will pass quickly for them, they sound very close to each other which is lovely
