:rosexoxox) My new piggy Sugar has started to come out of her shell. We've had her less than a week and she has started giving us lil piggy kisses when she has cuddle time! She falls asleep on my lap now and makes excited little purring noises when she see's her veg coming.
Only thing we are concerned about is that when she has floor time she doesn't seem to want to move about much and seems happier having snuggles. I'm off into town now to buy some more fleeces.
 
AWWW! Is Sugar an only piggy?

Most piggies don't like open spaces (remember, piggies are prey animals that live in roaming groups in the grasslands of the lower Andes. They are exposed to aerial as well as ground predators on open ground, and those instincts are all still there), so dot lots of tunnels, carboard boxes, draped towels etc. around which Sugar can use as secure bases for further explorations.

If you can, try to get Sugar a same sex piggy companion - piggies are not wired to be on their own and are always even more timid on new ground. You will love the lively and vocal interaction and all the antics!
 
She is lone yes and will have to stay that way so it seems. She is a bit of a bully and has lived with 2 others on seperate occasions but does'n get on with them. The last one nearly lost an ear so that is why she has finally been rehomed. She seems to like humans though so we will have to do for company lol
 
awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww x)
Some piggies don't always like others...... but have you thought about maybe doing dating? Quite a few of our lovely rescues do this....... they'll try to find you piggie a friend that will suit them :)

p.s. would love to see some pigtures of the lovely Sugar :)
 
My Hazelnut has never been big on floor time. He just spends most of the time in his pigloo venturing out to get a bite to eat now and then. But loves his lap time. Peanut Butter on the other hand is a maniac at floor time running through all the tunnels, but can only take so much stroking at lap time before he decides to wander off the lap & onto the sofa. I think it's just down to different personalities. While I strongly urge you to get a cage mate, that may not make a difference to floor time.
 
The idea of pig dating sounds wonderful. I couldn't bear getting another and finding they don't get on again and having two lone ones. I wonder if there are any places in the area? I live in plymouth in Devon.I cant try though so would need to be somewhere I could get a taxi or a bus to.
