Tunnels and Hammocks and Pigs, Oh My!

[Beckit and Jedward]

So for Christmas I bought each of the girls a tunnel to hang in their cages, only when they arrived, one was a hammock. I was a bit annoyed but then I figured, they're the same price and at least this way I can swap them round now and then, both piggies get to take turns.

I started out with the hammock in Jeddy's cage and the tunnel in Lipsy's cage. Jeddy, bless her, seemed to think the hammock was food... inbreeding And Lipsy sometimes ran through her tunnel but that was about it.

So when I swapped them over I was THRILLED to see the reactions. Jeddy is constantly either hanging in the tunnel and staring out the end, or running through it over and over and Lipsy is in her hammock for about half the day!

It's sooooo cute. I do have pics but I haven't uploaded them yet, I shall have to do that soon.

They look very happy. Can I ask where you got these from? I would like some things like that for my piggies but don't know where to look. Thank you.

I got them from this site; http://www.pet-supermarket.co.uk/

I buy their bedding there in a big order, I stock up 3 bags at a time and sometimes add little treates to the order to make postage more worth while. It's quite a good value shop and they always follow delivery instructions if you have to leave some.

Well, they always have for me. lol And I've only ever received one order late and it was only late by one working day, so I wasn't that annoyed.

Can i ask if they were washed before being swapped (dont worry, I'm not going to jump down your throat)

I was wondering, because it might be the smell of the other piggy that they like.

Ofcourse they might be seperate because they dont get on, but i thought i would check.

The first moment I swapped them over they weren't actually... But then Jeddy discovered the tunnel makes a comfortable toilet. ¬_¬ I was not happy with her, I had to FIND stuff to wash just as an excuse to shove it in the washing machine and get it clean for her so she wasn't just sitting in pee! I needed to get a full bloomin' load. lol

I thought I'd actually try and get them used to each other's smell, I'm still trying to get them to snuggle nicely together sometimes but it's not working. lol And Jeddy rumbles if I have Lipsy out first and she smells her on me. Silly pigs.

Haha. Have they tried to be bonded? Or were they previously together....
