So yesterday was a big clean out day and when I weighed Jemima she was only 670g! She is normally up and down between 800-870g so I of course panic. I syringed her a lot of water, I fed her lots of veg treats and waited for her to pee or poop on the towel for signs of discomfort but nothing. An hour later and back she went into the hutch not passing anything.

Today I weigh her again... this time 775g and she had a couple of bits of veg while out and has done a ton of poops and a wee on the towel....

The cheeky little madam! I'm sure she did this on purpose 1 - for extra treats and 2 - for attention :))
 
Bloody piggies, they don't half cause us stress!

I have this happen a lot, usually it is because the little cowbag has snuck a leg off the scales.

Haha yes my Bea was a devil for that one. I don't think Jemima did as I did double check it (though she can be crafty so let's not rule it out). She's gained another 10g per day so whatever caused a temporary loss seems to be done with though I am keeping a close eye on her to be sure
 
The more I pick her up for daily weighing the more I get the impression she did it on purpose "to see what all the fuss is about". Probably because Bumble has been coming out for daily meds lol
