The after dinner hay meeting is now in session...

[PigglePuggle]

I love the way my main herd hold a formal after-dinner hay meeting to eat their pile of timothy hay, its an odd little ritual they have, no pushing and shoving, all good manners and best etiquette! They do this for half an hour every evening, timothy hay eating as a herd seems to be a very serious business and I just love seeing it happen! They never do this with meadow hay... and only do it after dinner...

This is always my daily barometer of piggy health and happy herd relations, if somepig isnt there in the hayroom occasionally I'm on high alert in case something is wrong!

You are obviously bringing them up well to be polite, well behaved piggies.
Your strategy for achieving this will be much in demand for tho of us who have less polite piggies

Its funny they had exactly the same hay this morning in the playpen and chased each other through it, stole each others broccolli, squabbled over the carrot slices, tipped each other out of boxes... but 7pm timothy in the hayroom is always a very formal occasion!

Sounds as if they have been to Piggy Finishing School

I am showing this picture to Ruby and using it to illustrate optimal piggy behaviour.
In fact I may make a power point presentation for her

Every day I risk catching pneumonia by going out in the wet to get grass for my 3, I heap it in a line so there's room for everypig to get a nose in - but likely as not, one pig at least parks itself slap bang on top of the pile, so the others can't all get to it, and it gets spread around and soiled. Why do I bother?

@PigglePuggle they are clearly catching up with the day's events and what each of them have been doing.

Mine also have an after dinner Timothy Hay session. And like yours, it’s a polite, sharing experience. Amazing the power that Timothy Hay has to bring our piggies together for a few moments of communal dining.

What lovely polite piggies! We need to work on manners and etiquette, here at TEAS!
