Well, on Saturday I had officially had my pigs for 1 week! It's been quite an eventful week too. My youngest and tiniest piggy Aki used to be so shy but now she lets me brush her and eats hay out of my hand.:drool: And now Yoshi lets me pick her up and cuddle her in a blanket. :love: And Ryo purrs when I pet her :luv: I was really worried at first that they wouldn't ever take to me since they were so frightened. I'm so happy that we're getting on really well, hehe :3

Here's some of the cutest moments that I managed to capture on camera...

Yoshi likes to spread her belly out in the tube so that no one else can fit inside... but Ryo wasn't having it. And so they ended up in this pretty awkward position! (Sorry about the toilet in the background. I did change the cage after this was taken!)

They were all squished in the corner and Yoshi fell asleep on Ryo. :wub:
Aki got bored and walked off after a while but the other two stayed like that for 20 minutes...

And finally, I decided to line the cage with fleece rather than newspaper. On my first ever thread, someone advised me to do this (can't remember who it was, but thanks!) and the pigs love it! They're always lying on it. Plus, the newspaper got manky really easily and it isn't really a hygeinic option in my opinion. Anyway, here's yosh and aki modeling the new pink floor :)
 
Sounds like they are really settling in well! :)
 
Ohh they are purely adorable and I see they have Japanese names!

My guinea pig is also named Ryou. I was torn between Ryo and Ryou but went with u in the end. I love the little grey one!
 
I love Japanese names for animals ^o^

And yeah, I toyed with the Ryou/Ryo situation too. Decided to drop the u since i never bother with it when I write in kana.

Aw, I'm glad you like her! Her name is aki. she really is tiny in real life. :luv:
 
Sounds like it is going really well and they are forming a good bond with you. Your piggies are beautiful, thanks for the updates

They are so beautiful. It is wonderful to hear how well they have settled in.
