Of course! It's the first thing that gets done in the mornings! My girls wouldn't have it any other way!
:))

I'm on the train now, I got a free first class ticket because I had a bad journey a few months back, it's so posh! There's wireless and I get free food an drinks! Hehe, what a bonus! I feel cheeky asking for free stuff, but I should definitely make the most of this shouldn't I?!

Woooooo hoooo have a brilliant day looking forward to pigtures drool
 
Quick update!

Me and the beautiful Finley are on our way home now, not too much longer to go actually! The journey has gone really smoothly and Finley seems perfectly happy in his carry case, he's munched on some veggies and has even flashed me his chicken leg drool!
I got to meet the lovely Vicky and her mum, and she showed me all the piggies and bunnies x

Finley's brother is as equally as gorgeous as him! Highlight of the trip (apart from getting Finley) was having cuddles with Danny! He is such a beautiful boy and Vicky has done an amazing job with him! He's nice an chunky and his fur is looking great! I've taken some pigtures of him which Vicky is happy for me to share!
I'm out to see my friends this eveing so won't be around but I'll update you tomorrow!
xx>>>
 
Finleys home and all settled, he's such a chilled out piggy, he took himself straight to his cuddle cup and stuck out his little legs and went to sleep! Dottie knew straight away that there was another piggy an has just stood by the bars wheeking, Finley didn't take any notice! I'm on my way to my friends now - more trains! So he will be able to have some quiet time and sleep off the days big events! Its been hard leaving him so soon! More upates tomo, have a lovely evening! I'm cream crackered!

He really is! He's been a bit quiet (well compared to my crazy girls!) but he seems to be taking it in his stride, he loves cuddles too!

Haha, ooopsie, sorry Jo! I was at my friends last night until late, it was so lovely coming home though to see him! I'm just catching up with all the other posts and then i'm going to put them all in the hallway....:...

I've actually only taken a couple so far, wanted to let him get settled first but i'll try and take some videos of the bonding for you all, and of course i''ll get snapping!

Update for this morning...i'm having to adjust at how chilled Finley is! I didn't get in until around 12 last night so obviously i got up a bit later this morning, much to the girls disgust...they had completely trashed their cage! More so than any other time, which included flipping their food dish off of the ledge (no idea how they did this and it slots over something to keep it in place!) and pulling up the vet bed (how did they do this?!) and shredding the newspaper everywhere! :)) Maybe it's because they know their is another pig nearby? Anyhow, they were shouting at me for veg and of course within minutes it was gone and up they ran to the hayloft for more food. Little Finley just sat there patiently waiting for his veggies, and he is taking his time to eat each piece and see what it is, bless him! He's still going know :)

I'm just catching up on here from yesterdays posts and then i'm going to get them all out - wish me luck!
 
Well guys, it has all gone very smoothly!

There has been no teeth chattering, yawning or biting xx>>> and actually only a minimal amount of rumbling! There has of course been a small amount of humping but Finley has known when enough is enough and has backed off. The girls were actually more worried about eating the veg i had put in :)) Mabel seems a lot more interested and keeps approaching Finley where as Dottie has been a mummys girl and has come running to me for security :)) they all got a little bit tired after half an hour and had some rest in cosy beds/tunnels so i'm very happy right now!

For the bad news...i've taken lots of pics and a 5 min video and i've just tried to get them on here and my card reader seems to have broken 8... i've been pushing it in and out of the usb point but nothings happening :( will keep trying! If not maybe i'll pop to the shops to get one! Finely is currently munching on some of Aunty Sallys barley grass and flowers, he's probably going to need a wash in the next few days as Mabel has squirted him with a fair amount of pee! It went in his mouth at one point which stopped him in his tracks, you should have seen his face! :))

So, what would you recommend now? I'll leave them out in the hallway for now but should i put them back in the cage together or keep them separate for now?
 
I would say you have a bonded trio and put them in there freshly cleaned cage! Watch them in the cage to make sure everyone is behaving. :)

Sounds like my Fred's bonding easy peasy! xx
 
Horaaah! I was so nervous at first, just sat there with my tea towel, it took a few minutes for any of them to even notice! :)) they're all asleep again now rolleyes

Forgot to mention Mabel has been grooming Finley x) i'm so happy it seems it will all work out, now i can fully attach myself to Finley (i think i was kidding myself thinking that i hadn't alreadyrolleyes!)

I have fresh vet bed all ready so will scrub and clean everything and will of course keep a very close eye on them all. I've given them all kisses and told them how proud i am of them all behaving so well for my first bonding event :)) Finley is currently wedged into a tube at the moment with his bum sticking out, i've got a pigture of it, i just really need to get this damn card reader to work! So typical!

Clever piggies! ;)
 
Just caught up on this thread! Sounds like the bonding is going great!

You do know that Curry's and comet are open on sundays so really you should be there buying a new card reader! :)) :)) Cannot wait for pigtures, give your gorgeous ladies and Finley a chin rub for me!
 
Haha, very true Sport Billy! This is when i hate living in London as it's a nightmare to get to any shops, especially when you don't have a car! I'm going to wander to our tesco and see if they have any...wish me luck!
 
This was Dottie last night, it only took her a few minutes before she realised there was another pig in the room!

Finley was so tired from his big day he wasn't too bothered about Dottie pig wheeking away at him:

Then he found his cosy bed and plonked himself in there, chicken legs were out and he closed his eyes just after i took this!

So here he is on his first meeting with his wife-pigs!
I think he was more interested in the fiddle sticks and tunnels to be honest!
