Yesterday I took Geoff to a rescue for bonding with one of their piggies
He had a health check there ( the 3rd in a week)
I didn’t get a photo but his little face said it all …..’ what again ….!’ Especially when his bits and bobs were checked 😂
 
Chez has an appointment for a cloudy eye and a nail trim today. Last time he was there for a nail trim they took him down the hall to another room and I heard squeaking all the way where I was. The tech came back and said "Chesney put up quite a show." He really screamed! I bet he'll do it again today!
 
Patches has been having Baytril this week. The first time he tugged the syringe until a mouthful went in. Then he froze, lips pressed shut, refused to chew or swallow, and had the most grumpy disgruntled look on his face 😂

My rainbow piggie Noodle looked just like his brother Tofu bar one white patch. I took them both in once when Tofu had hay poke and the vet took them back to examine his eye using the specialist instruments. Except she picked Noodle up instead - and was shocked to see a very healthy looking eye until she realised!
 
When my first pair of piggies, Harry and Angus, were little chaps, they loved bolting around their run in the dining room. One day, while I was in the next room, I heard super-loud wheeking. They had escaped and were busily pulling all the laundry of the clothes horse. They darted back into their run each trailing a sock!
 
Obviously like everyone here nearly everything my boys do is cute and funny!
With Master Boris it's usually the weird positions he sleeps in, this is a classic!20240823_105025_remastered.webp20241029_155750.webp
Sir George is at his most adorable when he pancakes on someone's (anyone will do) lap with his back legs (and other parts!) out

Both of your boys remind me of when we were trying to get a picture of Patches’ sore foot for the vet, and the only position he’d allow was this one…

Well done for not upsetting Miss Bramble ;)
 
Before my late piggy Rebel was neutered, he used to stand on his back legs holding on to the bars of the ladies hutch and serenade them through the bars. I'll try and find a photo as it was his party trick. 😁
 
I think the funniest moment I had with my RB boar spud was one time I came home from work and only one pig was begging at the bars. Spud was nowhere to be seen. I checked under every hide but couldn't find him the cage is on a table so I thought if he'd jumped out he may have hurt himself. So I'm on my hands and knees pulling everything out surching their room and the living room because the door between the two was open. No piggie no sign of piggie no poo beans no pee puddles at this point I'd convinced myself he must have hurt himself so badly and curled up in a corner to die so I'm surching everywhere going mad crying about my poor baby. I go over to the cage sobbing and I'm talking to Gundam like "what's your silly brother gone and done now?" He shuffles over to the hay rack and lifts his head. A third of the cage including the top of the hay rack were covered by a blanket at this point so I peel back the blanket to reveal a very smug looking spud snuggled up in the hay stuffing his face he must have hopped ontop of a hide and into the hay. That's when we decided to get rid of hay racks.
 
My Beatrice is very clever. When we had to go to the vet with a hay poke she was a complete wriggly monster and the vet was really struggling. I said 'please don't think I'm mad but could she just go on the floor and have a look around?' The vet agreed and nosey Bea had a good look around. When she was done I returned her to the vet and she was as good as gold for her eye examination and drops. I swear she just wanted to check out what was happening. She is the nosiest pig I have ever met.20241026_103639.webp
 
A few years ago Red and Brillo had a 160 commercial cage which I adapted with a loft. I didn't have a big enough piece of corex so one side of the loft didn't have a corex side. I became a little worried that there wasn't much poop in the cage and almost rang the vets for an appointment when I witnessed Brillo deliberately kick poop out of the loft down into Spike and Peanut's cage below.

My oldest, the sole survivor from a threesome of brothers, has never been on his own before, and he seems to be amusing himself in ways that perhaps his brothers didn't allow! He kept putting his dishes (still full) into his plastic tunnel and I'd also hear an awful lot of banging going on at times, then yesterday, stuck at home in the snow, i saw what he was actually doing and it's not something I've seen before, he is catching hold of the front of his plastic hide with his teeth and whilst still inside lifting it up, walking forward, putting it over the dish and then pulling it back with the dish in it. I was stunned because (dont' throw me off the forum but I've always found the guineas to be the least intelligent of the rodents I have kept, they are certainly not in the same league as rodents such as rats, who are def more intelligent than most humans I meet) I can't work out whether it took him ages to work out how to do it, as it is most certainly totally deliberate, or why he is doing it now as there is no one else in the cage who might eat the food. Bless him, he at least took my mind off being snowed in!
 
20 years ago I got my first pair of pigs. They lived in a hutch with an attached run, in my front garden. One day Pickle Pig was in the run and I saw one of my neighbour's cats attempting to sneak up on the run. Pickle also saw the cat and retreated into the tunnel. Clever pig, I thought. But he wasn't hiding from fear, he was setting up an ambush and when the cat arrived at the other side of the wire, Pickle shot out of the tunnel straight at him, shrieking as loud as he could. The cat scarpered in terror and as far as I knew never went anywhere near them again.
I know this isn't really funny but Pickle was so clever and he looked so proud of himself. I could just imagine the cat telling his mates about it all, and warning of the ferocious monster that lived in my garden :)
