Our piggies

Mint is apparently poison & not food.

Womble and Felix have gone home, after teaching our boys to wheek at every bag rustle.

Wally was unsuccessful in trying to teach them about bar chewing.
Loki wibbled out a quiet chat after they left, but there was of course, no response from the other side of the room.

Loki all of that lovely grass and you're chewing plastic!

Garden time was not long enough!
Neither is the massive hay pile apparently.

Wally has also helpfully taught Loki how to chew bars like a crazy pig. Luckily the recent full moon has passed without the werepig putting in an appearance!
 
Yesterday, was also an extremely delayed
Spring cleaning/destruction day.
Wally & Loki enjoyed the cool of the playpen on the floor while I fully dismantled their home.

This year I lost count of the fossilised/science experiment poo collection, Hector & Hamish would have been proud of Wally & Loki’s efforts.

All was lovely & clean until this morning- when I noticed Wally has started the science experiment again, by firing poo in the gap at the bottom of the dividing grids.
 
A little Loki pig update….
Loki has a bald patch on his back, we thought it might be mites.
Loki had a trip to the vets & was put through some piggie yoga moves.
The vet found he had especially stiff hind legs and a very sore front right leg.
Possibly something going on around his spine.

Loki is unimpressed with the gabapentin that has been prescribed, but he is eating fine and bumbling about in his usual piggy way.

Poor Loki. I hope you are feeling ok ❤️
 
Us humans are a little shocked, as Loki has been his usual chilled pig self, no signs of anything wrong apart from the fur loss. (His rescue/medical history is not great.)

We are ok, taking each day as it comes. I didn’t feel like asking the vet THE question.
I will hopefully have enough courage to ask at his check up in a few months.

Loki’s slowly getting used to the new routine, although his face is showing his true feelings over the gabapentin taste. 🤢
