Two beautiful guinea piggies ❤️ Hopefully with the size difference the status will be stable and they can be a herd for their lives. Brave slaves, I'm glad everything is going well 🙏

Me too, even though I'm a bit sleep deprived 😂 the boys has been sleeping like babys in separate houses for like two hours. Very calm!
 
Go Djingis and Kongo!

We're currently eating veg and fresh hay. The cat woke mom up at 6 for wet food. She has the day off but one appointment and should clean the house and do last year's weeds.

She's looking into buying a drip catcher for under my water bottle as the fleece pee pad was soaked this morning.

I did one single zoom towards my pellets, but we've had some calcium pee so no wheatgrass this week.
 
Mom can't believe that 5 days of just walking away transformed us from begging absolute monsters to normal, chill pigs.

She enjoys us again! We were HORRIBLE.

It is nice when they stop asking for cabbage, calcium rich veg, more and more veg all the time and then tuck into their fibre rich hay instead 👍
 
@exia before moving Kongo and his new best friend into their permanent home, try rubbing it all over with something that smells of both of them, this will help them settle. I was given this advice from a Rescue when I adopted Pretty Patsy 🌈 who came to live with with Silver Fox Christian 🌈 and his sister Meg 🌈.
 
@exia , with your boys both having strong personalities I think there will always be some drama. You were brave to do the bonding. I think they will be fine together as (in my opinion) a fail would have been immediate.

That sounds very smart! I'm a bit nervous about moving them from the pen just because everything in their cage smells new/Apple cider vinegar and that will ofc make them do that pretty bumm-dragging and new Rumble strutt-show. As much as I know its just normal and I'm used to that boar-behaviour its always a bit nerve-wrecking when its their first shared condo.

I think so to. I think Kongo will get fed up with Djingis and his presence and tell him off pretty often, but I think Djingis accepts thats he's not the boss here. He will get his fishes very warm if he doesn't stop to jump Kongos the roof of Kongos house, but I'm both nervous and amused. He really is that pain in the A little brother 😂

Lunchtime
Djingis rumbles closer with the hay on top of him. Kongo just looks at him and continues to eat. From the human perspective Djingis is hilarious.
 
Stripe and Chez had a little meet up between the bars and Chez popcorned.

I was getting up to get in the shower and Stripe wheeked for me to stay. I went to smoke and he was still wheeking. The shower can wait. He popcorned all over when I came back.

But a shower would be nice...

We're home!
Me Kongo seems a bit... like does not really compute. Where's MY house? Slave says I will wait for a couple of days and have this very small "extra"house. I tried the house and became a turte!
Djingis is very happy and does popcorns. Allt of the time. He really cant be quiet for two minutes. I pretend I dont speak Guinea pig. But even if I seem to be a bit off from my mothership right now, it looks like I'm okay to live with this little poopie-machine.

Love Kongo

You guys look good together. Don't fight over the willow ball! Stripe has one, too.

Right now none of us has the time for the willow ball, but we have two just in case.

You have a lovely home. Much more space to zoom and popcorn in. Well done boys 🏡

This is the whole cage. Slave says its like an airport. In the small section we start the Rumble, and in the long section is our landing strip where she really wants to see us popcorn and zoom! The haytray in the middle is our taxfree-shop.
 
Chez just did a few zooms and I popcorned. In about 45 minutes we're having our cages cleaned. My pee pad is soaked with water from messy drinking so if anyone has any ideas on stopping that, it would be to my benefit. I poop and pee there, too, so I'm on it a lot.

Mom was in the other room with the cat on her lap and heard some wild zooming.

She can tell Chez is no longer a baby, he sleeps a lot more.

Mom missed my gotcha Day! It was the 22nd.
 
I just love having fleece. Mom cleaned cages and gave us fresh hay and I just sprawled on the clean fleece eating my hay! We went down for early naps and mom is doing our laundry and having the cat on her lap.

She has to leave for work in 5 hours 😔

Happy gotcha day for the 22nd Stripe, you've got such a good slave, you got lucky.
 
The boys have taken to wheeking when I leave the room. This time it was Chez.

They are not going to be happy when I leave for work at 2. They will have a huge pile of hay to distract them.

Happy gotcha day Stripe! You got a very great slave, right?

Smooch from a stripey-bro 💜

Well, she's great, but look at that. There's hardly any hay! She doesn't want to refill it and wake Chez. She thinks this is going to last an hour before she leaves?

Calm miss Bramble, Stripe! Thats 10 minutes.

How are Djingis and Kongo doing with their bond?
Click to expand...
Better than I could hope for! They eat together and they bumm-sniff alot 😅 Kongo is not really sure about who this loud little poopiepants is, and it looks like he has to think very hard. When he realizes he is the smartest pig in the house he will be unbearable. But I can see that he relaxes more around Djingis, but I can truly understand him. Djingis is alot.

Second lunch today. Djingis loves Kongos food-schedule!
 
I hope miss Bramble can help. On cage cleaning morning she gives us a small handful because she "likes to see the bottom of the cage" for a change. She thinks it's tidy. But I ate it all!

She'll give us a monstrous pile when she leaves but I can't wait.

Glad to see you boys getting along.
 
Dear Stripe

Fancy making you wait for your hay! That is completely unforgiveable. It didn't matter that Chez would have woken up, he wouldn't have minded as he would have woken up to fresh hay. I see you followed the advice I sent to you in an urgent wheekmail to get more hay. Well done!

Your friend in a crisis
