The Boys And Girls

true right enough, even if they do drive me up the wall sometimes...
 
Sunny woke me up at 5 a m again whistling for food even though there was food in the cage. Silly girl...
 
shhhh, she'll hear you...
she's so foody its unreal
She's worse than my guide dog use to be when she was working and she was a lab.
trust me to get a pig thats really food obsessed. just my luck lol
 
nun of my other pigs are as food obsessed as she is
she's a big girl too, there's quite a lot of her and she's a year next april so i dread to think how much shes going to way in at when shes finnished growing.
 
just wish she would wake me up for food at a more sociable hour...
 
sorry that didn't make any sence
what i meant to say was
i wish she would wake me up for food at a more sociable hour rather than 5 a m in the morning
whistling as well, not just wheeking iether
"whistling" i ask you...
 
thankfully Sunny didn't wake me up this morning whistling for food
so i had a good nights sleep right through which is something i've not had for the last 2 days...
 
Good you will hopefully start to feel a bit more human now! Maybe Sunny realised there was food in the run so decided to keep quiet and let her Mummy sleep!
 
maybe she did whistle but i didn't here her as i was so exausted.
 
Sleep is important so are your piggies of course but to be able to look after them you have to put you first.
 
the downside is there is no heating in this house apart from a wood stove which i cant use so i use electric oil filled ones so i cant have their cage down stairs as it would get too cold for them in the winter and i could lose them as it gets so cold. So they have to stay in my bedroom with me...
i've tryed Chamamile hay to try see if that keeps her any quieter but she doesn't seem to be effected by it at all
all the other pigs go to sleep accept her...
tipical!
 
I'm getting the new carrots houses today in a delivery from Pets At Home so the cage will be being cleaned out completely disaffected and then the new houses put in once we get here
The piggies can be in a plane closure when I'm cleaning the Quijote which they don't seem to mind
 
I have cleaned the gangs cage out ready for the carrot houses to going to which I knew but I'm just waiting for the parcel company to drop them off
 
The pigs are loving the new nesting spaces
When I took the old ones out and put the new ones in I realise that that was where a lot of the smell of we was coming from
So my room smells a lot fresher now I've actually removed the offending items
Trixie is doing my head with a constant gnawing
 
Went to Pets At Home yesterday
I've got the pigs
Chamomile hey
Natures touch wild mountain hey
To cardboard tubes
And Burgess XL longstem feeding hay
The last one they haven't tried before so I thought I would let them try it
Smells and feels really nice and fresh so that's the main thing
 
The pigs are absolutely loving the Burgess XL longstem feeding hay
 
It sounds that you have everything nice and organised Maddy. Those Carrot houses are good til the piggies knock them over and use them as a toilet!
 
I can safely say that the Burgess XL longstem feeding hey it's a hit with my pigs because when I went to put salad in there this morning there was no hay left in the communal haystack area
Usually I have to throw a bit out but this morning there was nothing
 
Hopefully I will have some more up-to-date pictures for you to look at in the next few days
 
IMG_0068.webp This picture was taken with them inside the actual cage and the hay you can see in the photograph that they are munching their way through with enthusiasm is the Burgess XL longstem feeding hey I love it so much that they have went through half a kilogram in four days
 
Thankfully Sunny has stopped whistling in the early morning so I've actually been able to sleep for some of the time
 
That goes without saying. They are lovely animals. All their little squeaks and wheaks make you feel welcome when you come in!
 
The pigs had the audacity to tell me off this morning for having a massive sneezing fit when I put new he in their cage
Correction hey
I'm so sorry boys and girls but it's your fault that I'm sneezing
Lol
