Hello,

I am just wondering what their poops should be like, I find most of them dried up from throughout the day but some are moist. Are they meant to be moist?

What changes do I need to look out for if they are eating too much of the wrong things?

What is diarrhea like from pigs?
 
I think they start out fresh a little moist, then dry out after a while. As long as they are the normal cigar shape and not covered in slimy mucus, they're ok. Diarrhoea tends to be shapeless, runny poos that will get stuck to the fleece and their bums.:)>>>
 
:)>>>:(|)

Thanks. Yeah they are the normal shape. It is a little gross though when I clean their favourite wee corner because it makes the poo mushy.

I am so dirty, I scoop the poos up with my fingers when some are still fresh and I get covered in the poop smell! I must start using gloves :)>>>:(|)

That was bad timing - I read that whilst eating my lunch:p The things we do for love, eh:) I got a big box of those disposable gloves so don't have to touch the poops.

I got the same fleece as in your avatar - B&M? Bargain at £1.99!

Shame on you, but I am glad you have seen the error of yours ways, as I'm sure the piggies and the bank balance is too! :p
 
Hehe, sorry! :))

Yes the stripey fleece is from B&M, I got another one too but can't remember what it looks like. :red

The Peppa Pig one is from Home Bargains, it is £3.99 but HUGE! I have to fold it in half.

I do have latex gloves, so why am I not using them?! grrrr:(|)

I can imagine all these discount stores thinking, wow we sell a lot of fleece and wonder why!

When I went in they had pepper pig, ben 10 and lots with animals on like penguins and tigers (my daughter thought they would scare the piggies :{ so we went for stripes!)
 
The others in B&M that I saw were High School Musical, I won't allow my boys to lay on that!

I only saw Peppa Pig ones in Home Bargains, if you have sows, they do actually have pink Peppa Pig ones, mine has George dressed as a pirate on it! :(|)

Not that I watch it, his name was on the label, I swear!
 
You know, I would actually consider getting High School Musical fleeces if they were that cheap. I would find some weird and disturbing delight in my piggies weeing all over zach efrons face :). I babysit for a friends daughter sometimes who talk about nothing else...
