Over the last week or so Ginny and Saffy have been having free time with me out in our hall. It has been lovely to see them progress from being a bit unsure to scurrying around chattering to each other :)) Little miss Saffy who has always been the more nervous was popcorning today, hops skips and twisting as she jumps, it was wonderful to see :(|) I'm delighted to see how happy and relaxed they both are and they are such a joy to have. I love being a piggie mum x)
 
Would love to give them more space so they could really let loose and popcorn around but nowhere else would be safe enough. They could hide behind and under sofas and behind the TV so would be difficult to catch them again. Hence why they only get the hall! It may be small but Saffy obviously enjoys it :))

Ive had mine three weeks and they are slowly comming round to being with us....one of mine does a sly popcorn and the other one is just not quite there yet! they are currently in my kitchen having some floor time...they were outside but I brought them in when we had a bad downpour of rain x I might move mine to a hall area, as my hubs is not keen on them being in the kitchen lol

Why don't you get a fold-up indoor run? You can put that ( or two joined together) in your lounge. I've just been looking at runs ( now that the days are cooling down they won't get much more grass time ) and Pet Planet seem to offer the best prices for stuff like this. This is the one I'm thinking about getting:

In fact, I'll probably get two and join them together so they've got loads of space during floortime but I don't have to worry about electrical wires and getting stuck under sofas! :)

That's a good idea, I hadn't thought of that! Just went for the hall as I can sit on the floor with them and there's nowhere they can get stuck :))

I've had my girls about 3 weeks now, few days over and they are both coming round nicely now
:)) I went for the hall to give them floor time as nowhere they can get stuck or hide under and no wires either. It's a bit small but I can sit with them and they do scuttle around nicely now. There's always a puddle to clear up and loads off poo :(|)

Might have to pick up some towels, we have laminate flooring so I hadn't worried about it too much! Yep we seem to have become piggie mum's around the same time and are not a million miles away from each other
