Espresso patiently waiting for “the One”
Or maybe just her parsley. She absolutely loves parsley

Espresso you are so beautiful! I hope you find someone soon (and get copious amounts of parsley!)

She is so adorable I have to be careful not to feed her every time she wheeks which is every time I enter the room. She’s a spoilt madam! Today she had fresh grass alongside her new potential paramour.

 

[thewheakybeans]

I’m loving the fresh spring growth so today the piggies had herb robert, plantain, dandelion leaves, lemon balm and grass from the garden. We love weeds here!

 

[thewheakybeans]

Today’s breakfast was dandelion, yarrow, grass, cleavers, herb robert and wavy bittercress. Now to forage weeds to make wild pesto for the humans!

He is a beauty! I hope gentleness and gingerness combine to make the perfect partner for my girl. It’s been a long wait to find the right one for her. Trying not to get too attached until I see how things go next week but it’s hard not to!

This is Aperol and I’m hoping he’ll be the gentleman of Espresso’s dreams when they finally meet next Thursday. He is a burrower like her and seems to be enjoying his daily wild forage as he does a little popcorn on the spot when I bring it in. Fingers crossed he’ll be better behaved than Mr. Martini was!

 

[Ramia]

Be a gentleman, now

He's adorable!

 

[Merab]

What a handsome boy.
Hope Espresso loves him

 

[Roselina]

He’s a lovely boy

 

[Truffolo]

A handsome piggy. I hope she falls for him

 

[Mrs Tiggy Winkle]

Handsome chap, even a prince - has a crown! Keeping my fingers crossed for him and Espresso

 

[Edam]

aw i love his 'kiss spot' (white crest) on his head - he is so beautiful! hope it goes well!

Oh that's a kiss spot? Interesting, here it's a crown and is supposed to mean that the guinea might be a bit bossy, but probably there's no proof of that - just an old wives tale.

Update from Wheaky Beans HQ.
Bonding day between Espresso and Aperol has arrived.

They’ve been in together since 9:15am and so far, there’s been a lot of rumbling and attempted humping, especially by Espresso who definitely wants to be the Queen! They’ve eaten a bit together and now taking a nap.

Definitely off to a better start than with Mr. Martini where there was a lot of rearing up and teeth chattering but still early hours…

 

[thewheakybeans]

It’s now been five hours and they’ve both managed not to bite each other’s face off. It’s the most beautiful day of the year here so far and I’m stuck inside watching these two nap then try and hump each other then nap again! They’ve started doing the odd popcorn after their humping being rejected too! I have no idea when I can leave them unsupervised. Anyone got any tips?

 

[thewheakybeans]

They are now sleeping together in the same Gousto box after eating freshly picked dandelions

 

[AidaB]

I don’t have any experience with piggie bonding. Our 2 attempts were not successful.

Sorry to hear you have missed the sunshine, but hopefully 2 content piggies makes up for it.
It sounds like Expresso has made a new friend, especially if they are napping together in their cardboard box house.
Keeping all fingers crossed, everything is still calm.

 

[thewheakybeans]

It’s been about 12 hours now and they’re still rumbling a bit but they’ve napped together, eaten together and Espresso likes to plonk herself down right next to him so I think she’s taken a shine to her new husband! I’m hoping to sleep relaxed knowing they’ll be OK together in the neutral pen overnight.

 

[Merab]

Sounds very positive.
Glad to hear the good news

[weepweeps]

Sounds like it’s a match

 

[Truffolo]

Has he passed muster? Everything crossed for marital bliss for Espresso and Aperol

 

[thewheakybeans]

I now pronounce you husboar and wife!

Espresso loves chasing him then gently touching his face and lieing next to him. He’s a wimp and just accepts it. It’s adorable!
