Survivors Group Therapy

Mom used to be pretty good at yoga but it's been over ten years.

We also have a good blender and sometimes mom makes fruit smoothies with kale in there.
 
Happy birthday Maleslave 🎉🎁🎊 I hope Djingis doesn't chew your yoga mat, a nice shelf for it (the mat, not Djingis 😄) might be good 🧘‍♂️ Socks the Hamster has one under his cage and passing piggies have taken bites 😲
Hopefully both piggies will be eating hay again soon and Slave can join with the BM and relaxing instead of doing critical care 🍹

Oh, Djingis wants a shelf for showing he's poor and other nice stuff he has done. Eating a half house did tell slave something was up with the toothies. The house looks re-modelled...

Maleslave took my celery into his sportdrink yesterday and I wasnt aloud to taste! Thats not fair. He has some kind of bulk tasting like vanillacookies in there too, so I know I would love it. Who's mister Oreo at home? Kongo! Darn maleslave.
 
Hi guys. Mom had our cages cleaned by 8 am.

I was so excited I did lightening zooms and seizures, I just love a clean cage!

Mom said "I have to check your bottom" to both of us because there was a fly in our room. Not the kind of fly that causes fly strike, but she wanted to be sure. Our bottoms looked good.

I can come out for floor time after the laundry is done and Mom's dressed.
 
Bottom cleaning time here too. MS got half a rod from me 🤨. Truffle had a piece of woodshaving in his sheath. Our poops seem firm enough, although mine are a bit small. There were some tootsie trims and no nipping or kicking. MS is pleased 👍. I'm on celery here too. The shops must think MS likes veg juices, she's always buying salads 🥝🍏🫑🫒🥦🥒
 
This little bug is now at the vets. Last thing slave heard from him was a WHEEEEEK. Slave wished them good luck and left.

She warned them about Djingis being sweet as sugar and you just want to kiss him, but he's a little gangster. He screams, kicks, bites, runs and has been a real trouble these past says to feed. Metacam really did the magic. He has been a tornado! Good in some ways; he has been eating better independently but its been a real challenge to get cc in that little tummy and around 60ml has been a fight. I'm so thankful its summer and grass-season!

Slave tries not to worry too much about today. She knows very well Djingis is pretty young, very healthy and strong. But ofc its like leaving your heart in a very destructive relationship; you do trust your vets competence and know they have done this before so many times, but its always a risk and they cant give you a guarantee.

Going home to a worried Kongo. Poor little chonky is home alone, and he does not love that!
 
I'm taking a little nap in my pigloo.

Mom's worried about daylight savings, what with the cat and us demanding breakfast at 6.

Mom's back to work this afternoon.

I do fewer poops than Chez. We both maintain our weight, don't have impaction, if anything I'm on the uptick for weight... but I do about half the poop Chez does. It's all very well formed. Chez gets more cucumber... maybe that's why.
 
Your pigloo is nice. You can keep an eye on Mom in case some cookies are on their way 🍪 Yes, the clock thing messes up sleep and makes people grumpy for a few days. Truffle: I am as accurate as any alarm clock 🐾 🔊
MS: 🥴

Slave thought I was mister poopiepants, until Djingis moved in. That boy can poop! And I eat alot more of everything.

Right now I'm in Djingis rainforest, chillin'. Slave opened up before cleaning and I pretend I'm DjingDjing.

DjingDjing? Oh well... the last hour has been very anxious. Slave is used to get text around lunch telling her what time for pick up. That text indicates everything is ok. Not now. Just silence. Maybe something happened?

Slave was just about to call the clinic when text came in. DjingDjing is not only awake, he's eating salad ♥️ he says he wants to stay at the vets because of better salad and very nice medications and sweet girls taking care of him. Dont pick me up, he wrote.
 
Survivors,

I need to make a big complaint about these hayboxes with a heart shaped door! I was trying out Djingis things and that looks soooo... Wow! I really tried to climb in but the door was way to small? My head was on its way out in one end but my back paws and bumm was still outside at the other end! Slave saw the desperation in my eyes. I couldn't come in, I couldn't get out. I was hanging there like a fat seal. Slave said thats why she never got me one of my one, but thanks for the demonstration. She had to tilt the box a bit for me to get out. I was so angry at it when I was out I ripped one of the heart doors in one bite. Yes, thats the other reason slave said.

She feels a bit sorry for me. She knows I would love to have a heartbox of my own. She use to buy me carrot houses for bunnys sometimes instead. I like them, but they are not that snuggly as a heartbox.

But that desperation in my eyes was the best laugh in a week, slave says. Okay I give her that. She still thinks I'm very handsome.

Love from Kongo
 
Kongo, have you ever had a paper bag filled with hay? We just got ours because we were being naughty.

I use to get one during floortime. Slave does not need a tv when I get a hay-bag! Its like an earth-quake going on in there, then I fall asleep like baby.

Slave just left saying she's going to get Djingis. I screamed noooo! I'm still in his rainforest making it smell Kongo cologne. Hehehe. I wont move!
 
Little bug, best you get back before Kongo ruins your things. Great to hear Djingis is coming back with Slave 👍

Hes back! Very tired, but screamed like crazy when he realized he was home again. Kongo was very happy to see him, they talked for a long time at the divider and Kongo jumped around like he does when he's excited. Very cute!

X-ray under sedation told us Djingis teeths has long roots, a little bit to long for his head. The teeths wasnt that bad overall, though. Dentist said they ofc cant say anything about the future, but he hopes Djingis wont be needing regular trims. Some teeths was just a bit too long, so dentist thought Djingis might have hit a nerve and thats why he had trouble eating without metacam. He will now be on metacam for two weeks, then we will try without it. If it not works he might have it for life so he can eat without fuzz.

Djingis has ofc been pretty tired tonight, but started to park up a bit. Very easy to feed some cc, and has been eating a little of everything by himself this evening. Mostly hay, which I'm very happy to see because that has been a struggle for him this week. So happy he's home, but omg he stinks 🤣

Fluffy mister Kahn found a cucumber
 
Those tooth roots are a worry. Perhaps he had irregular feeding while growing and it affected his teeth 🙁
Well, it's got to come out 💩💨 Causes less trouble outside than in 😌😄
 
Stripe did not want to go back in his cage so after Chez his turn I got Stripe out again. He was so happy he wheeked and then he crawled halfway up my lap and laid down! He wanted a little cuddle.

Probably, he has erosion on the teeths that told the vet he has had diet with lack of vit c and d. Djingis is not a very big fan of veggies. He eats some, but prefers his hay. I guess he didnt really learn to eat it when he was a youngster? To live with Kongo was good, he eats a bit more veg after those weeks. For now he gets some extra vit c in a syringe, and extra pellets. I'm happy he seems to be a healthy and strong little boy thought! And very vocal.
 
Yas! We get cages cleaned today. Hurry up, mom!

Mom's singing us songs this morning that are kinda dumb.

We're getting basil from the store today.

Welp she's going to go smoke then start the cages.

Mom doesn't think Chez is photogenic.
 
Dear survivors,

slave worked night and we were left in Maleslaves pretty hands. I got so much food. Especially critical care! I'm so satisfied happy with his services.

But.

In a week or two slave is starting another job. No night shifts. How do I stop this? She just tells me to knock it off, "its Djingis cc!" she says with a whining voice. Should I start like go fund me? Thinking IF people wants to donate some snacks I'm okay with that! Thinking like "my slave should be at work every night. Please sign, and please donate a carrot or peaflake for this starving boy!"

And sharing this picture? I look very cuddly.

Love from Kongo
 
Kongo the disparity of snacks giving needs to be raised with Ms Bramble. Djingis and yourself are colleagues are you not? So giving you less on some days is discriminatory, even in comparison with yourself. Everyday should be a maleslave style feeding day, irrespective of who is doing the feeding. Besides, who could refuse those lovely brown eyes their rightful share of the CC?
 
Chez has rather a nice colour scheme, very striking. He has a mysterious way of looking at the camera from under his brows. I think lady guinea pigs would find Chez enticing 🥰
