Hello everyone,
It's been quite a while since I last logged on and posted, finally finished my project for uni so I have more time to myself now. I've logged on now and then to have a look but not had time to post unfortunately
Just updated my profile from time to time.
A lot of things have happened since my last visit also. Our piggy-population has grown even more - I've taken in a couple more pigs that were unwanted by their owners, so our grand total now stands at 11 little squeakers! rolleyes
As some of you may recall, when I joined the site, I had 2 pigs: Coconut and Cinnamon who went on to have 3 daughters: "Marble, Toffee and Biscuit", born on Christmas Day 2010, all of whom I kept. I then took in 2 sows from a [*]former[/*] friend who had intentionally bred her pigs and hadn't been able to sell these last 2 pups: "Sooty-Pig and Brandy-Snap". A couple of days later, I was contacted by someone else, who found me through a friend, desperate to give away a boy and a girl. Obviously, having Coconut already meant that the boy was a no-no but I gave her the number of a friend who also keeps pigs, in case. I took in the girl "Mocha". My friend did take in the boy|)
I'm not sure but I think thats where I was up to, the last time I posted.
Well, I desperately needed them anyway so I stocked up on more Cage Cubes and Correx. I didn't know it at the time, but it went towards a new cage as well as further expansions for my current ones.
Anyway, since then, I've acquired 3 more pigs. A Teddy sow "Caramel", a Teddy boar "Rasher" and a baby Rex boar "Wiiiiieek". All three were unwanted by their owners. Also, every time I check my local RSPCA, they never seem to have any pigs :{ Good I suppose, either they dont have any that need rescuing or they've already gone to good homes... I am determined to rescue a pig from them!
Since I had enough materials to make another massive dual level cage, this time I was able to accept the two new boys. I also have new cage set-ups for everyone: massive rabbit cage (about the same as 3:5 C+C) with 2nd level expansion has Coconut (neutered), Cinnamon and the babies, Sooty and Brandy-Snap in... Extra large rabbit cage (about the same as 2:4 C+C) with 2nd level expansion has Caramel and Mocha in and the new 2:4 C+C cage with 2nd level expansion has Rasher and Wiiiiieek in as they came together as bonded friends.
Once Rasher and Wiiiiieek are neutered and the 6 week period after has passed, I'll put Rasher and Caramel together in the larger of the two cages and Mocha and Wiiiiieek in the other - hopefully everyone will get on, if not they'll stay as they are. Either way, I want the two boys neutered.
... ... ... Thats about it, I think... currently waiting for a Pets at Home order to come, hopefully today with a new water bottle, shampoo, muesli, bedding, a new house for the largest cage and some more hay. 8)
I hope everyone else is well xx>>>
hopefully talk to you all soon (as I am off to bed now) -c
ps, I don't know why, but I saw/ heard Caramel chirping like a little bird earlier, she did it for about 10 minutes. I've heard it before, but this time I could see it was her as her mouth and ears were moving with each chirp
I know that not a lot is known about their chirping but was wondering if anyone has any theories?
