It's because they use anesthesia and do blood work to see if they are healthy enough to go under.

A couple times my dad paid. But usually I save up through the year knowing it will come.

He has periodontal disease.

I think it was a combination of critical care-syringes and Kongo. Kongo really wants human company, and has no boundaries. First time I met Kongo he came jumping towards me and was totally okay with me petting him. Sometimes I think I'm a crazy guinea pig-lady that can hear Kongo answer me, but he really have such a clear body language and eyes. He knows some hand signs too. I think Kongos relationships with humans made Djingis more relaxed with me. It was the same when I brought Chip home; he did what Pikachu did. And Pikachu was a social genius. Chip became such a mamas boy. When Djingis talks I answer him, often sing (poor boys 🤣).

And yeah, that cuddle box. Djingis does not last very long but now its in his routine to come up in it and have some treats every night. I let him crawl around on me when he gets ants in his pants and when he gets too wild I let him go home. He screams like there's tomorrow when I cut his nails or wash the shrimp, so I still have some work to do... but no more biting!
He's still a siberian tiger and has so much energy. He gets alot of floortime and I sit on the floor with him. To a start I was so scary, but now he can come pretty close if I offer something that tastes very good (like a syringe...).

I think the best thing is to just handle them. Try to pet the magic spots like chins and around the ears to a start, and let them have their space with a blanket or something to hide in. Give them treats they cant resist and "force" then to come out from their hiding to get it (fresh herbs!). Talk to them. Just sit with them. And if they are like Djingis; play MarioKart. He doesn't give a blank about me if Miniwheener plays MarioKart!

You cant sit with us! I play MarioKart with my bestie
 
Thanks.

His taming session was good today he discovered he likes chin rubs. He goes in a box in his snuggle sack.

He didn't wiggle when I picked him up to check his bottom.

"Wash the shrimp" 😄
 
Dip sticks are here but Chez is not peeing! He always pees! I have to mop it up several times a day.
 
Mom's got three hours to clean our cages before the cat gets tested for arthritis. She set out his carrier so he wouldn't run away this morning. Fresh pee pad in there. Let's hope she can get him in!

Actually we don't have to have health check today but mom's going to pet Chez.

The bath mats are working to keep the fleece dry.

Mom has to work tomorrow, a long shift, so we're going to make the best of today.
 
Good luck Barrett 💜

This slave is on the bus for a night shift before vacay. She eats candy for breakfast. Me to. I finally accepted that papaya fine grind as a filler this morning! Afterwards I was running around like crazy to get my cucumber and my grass. I took slaves wallet and has ordered myself very nice hay. Summer sale, you cheap one! I told slave. Now I have to use my beautiful round eyes to manipulate maleslave to go to the post office. But I know he cant resist my Grizzly bear-look. He said multiple times he thinks I'm the most handsome pig slaves had. Yeah, I know that. Now RUN to the post office!

Love from a big, handsome dude
 
We've had meds, taming, breakfast.

Now we're taking a little break.

Mom's going to give us a bunch of hay because she has a long shift and won't be able to pop in our room after work, it'll be too late. But she has 4 hours before she leaves.

Chez had a short chin rub at taming today.
 
Do you have freckles, Stripe? So adorable!

Djingis was very eager to get a taste of Kongos cc-lunch. He got the bowl. Somehow I have a pig with an ear full of cc. Not to mention his chin. When its good, its gooooood! He really loves that papaya.
Have a hard time reading Kongo. He absolutely needs some filling up with cc still, but Kongo fills himself up alot. I dont know he was happy I was home, but he took 45ml in one sitting when I got home from work. After that he happily ate alot of his new oxbow hay. I know the cc dont kill his appetite to eat of his own, but can a pig over eat like a human can? Kongo obviously have a big tummy..
 
Ofc we mean Chez. Do you have freckles, Chez? Thats so sweet. IMG_20210227_125908.webp
Pikachu looked so adorable with his freckles (actually, Pikachu was like crazy sweet. He didnt look real, he looked like a little cartoon-pig. Anyone here watched Pui Pui Molocar? Pikachu should have been in the main cast. I dont recommend Pui Pui if you dont want to get crazy. Its like hypnotic and suddenly you realise you watched three episodes and thinks like a Guinea pig in a car).

Pui Pui Molocar is addictislave TV, programme their minds 😄
 
@Ramia , the blankets each of my boys use for cuddle time. When they were younger I made sure I didn't wash them very often so they would smell right. Easy for me as my boys don't ever pee on anyone!
 
Here I come!

Mom did laundry the other day and all the sinks, the tub and the toilet started bubbling! A plumber is coming at 10! Neighbor offered to fix it but mom wants a professional. Mom's really hoping it gets fixed today. She was too scared to shower last night.

The boys would Google how to get a new slave if I forgot their urinary biscuits.

You pigs cant get full? Amazing creatures.

My brain is still set on syringe Joe and the struggle to get at least 75ml in him every day. He rarely took over 15ml, 15ml was very good and that was like 45-50mins. Kongo? Just show the syringe and he ate the 15ml, he wants the cc with crumbles and he often wants very much. Well, today is a day he is satisfied after one 15ml syringe. He has his mind set on that oxbow-hay and the syringe is his starter to really kickstart that appetite even more today. Shouldn't lie - very pleased he has kept his big appetite through this tooth-drama and has been so easy to feed. But sometimes I'm worried his tummy will just burst 🤣 Kongocano!
