Dear Tallullah-oollah-woollah,

However loud you wheek like a fire alarm, mummy does not believe you can still be hungry!

I know you ran 13 laps of the playpen then 23 laps of your newly cleaned out cage today but...

You ate red pepper and babycorn and pellets for dinner last night, then some hay.
Cucumber, carrots and pellets for breakfast with some more hay.
Half a hay cookie and a stem of parsley and 3 stems of coriander as a mid morning snack while the other piggies had their playpen time.
Half a windowbox full of grass and clover plus a good chunk of a cardboard box in the playpen.
An extra stem of coriander as a reward for letting us weigh you.
Hay up to your ears in your clean cage (which made you cross because hay is tickly, though Ollie liked it).
Beansprouts and pellets for dinner tonight.
Then a timothy hay top up.

Oh oollah-woollah you weight 820g which is plenty for a teenage chocolate hippo piggy girl! You are really starting to look like a hippo, you have a hippo-bum and are quite chubby for a skinny pig. Not very skinny at all in fact.

Please stop wheeking now and let mummy drink some wine in peace... I know wine is in the fridge where the veggie foods live but you have hay to eat...
 
Wow! This describes Smokey too whenever anybody moves, shush you little monkey, you were just fed five minutes ago!
 
She's still wheeking, which sets the main herd off wheeking too, she's the automatic piggy alarm triggered by opening the fridge, running the tap, chopping anything at all, daring to come into my own living room without a piggy snack... daring to go to the bathroom during the night without appearing downstairs with a piggy snack... she's a bit of a bully really! I keep reading that guide "who is the boss you or your piggy" but she's so loud... so so loud...
 
And... she's still wheeking! Her husband Ollie is at least not joining in for once, he's keeping a very low profile since I cleaned his boy bits this afternoon :)
 
Can’t even enjoy crisps in peace from 4pm-feeding Time :lol!:
 
I thought my 2 were bad. They came in from the garden a few hours ago after having just over 2 hours of endless grass munching. I put them back in their cage with a scoop each of pellets and go back upstairs 5 minutes later with their things i brought in from outside, and they're in position... that place they wait when they want a bowl or 2 of veg. I love you very much piggy boys but I don't think so!
 
Yes fridge open..what's for nomming, bit like my 10 year old, she actually says anything to num? I think she is in line with the guinea pig diet now..chopping up veggies and Roz the piggie peering at us...ok one more thin sliced cucumber and a tiny bit of grated carrot..she hasn't had carrot all week so all good phew...meh who is making MY dinner..meh!
 
Dear Tallulah- we are very sorry to hear that you are being starved. You are a nice petite size so we don’t think an extra treat would hurt you.
Jemimah is huge and she has a very loud wheek too so she will help you tell your slave when you’re hungry.
Love and licks from Priscilla and Phoebe
