Now I'd like to clarify one thing before I start writing; I've had my gp for a little over a year and the things she does are not news to me, I'm just dying to know if this is normal
So one of my piggies is quite insane. Her energy level is something I've never even seen before. Not even in pups. This girl NEEDS to run. All the time. And if you don't let her out you can be darn sure she will do it herself!
She is not cuddly at all, does not care for food the way the other one does, if she could choose between a fresh carrot and a 5 minute jog in the house, she would gladly eat pellets for the rest of her life. Whenever we try to hold her she will literally leap out of our hands. Jumping off the couch? No big deal. Climbing her fricking cage?!?!? Sure that sounds like fun. I didn't even know piggies could climb, but this one get EVERYWHERE! I've given up on trying to keep her from getting to different places. I once set up a fence around her, and she simply jumped over it. A 40cm fence! I made it taller and she just lifted it up, crawled like a fool for about 10 minutes until she could squeeze out of there.
As amusing as it has been, I really miss cuddling with my pet, is there any chance she will calm down? Maybe fatten her up a bit? She is about to hit her 2 year milestone soon and at the looks of it she's got no intention of returning to the normal piggielife yet.
And most importantly, is this normal?
