At some point over the last few weeks I've turned into one of those annoying proud mums who all they want to talk about is their kids. :x I annoy everyone I know with stories about my boys and have gone to sleep most nights dreaming about C+C cages.

My boys are 4 months old now and getting bigger by the day. This is a pigture diary of their progress, I'm going to take a photo every week on weigh day so that when they're big strong boars I can look back and see how tiny they used to be.

When I got them they were (apparently) 8-10 weeks and looked like this:

3 weeks later:

Wilbur discovers the upstairs in their cage. Age 12 weeks. Weight unknown.

Otis looks quite inquisitive is that last one! Great track
Keeping!

He is a little monster, this is his 'look i can be cute' face which only gets used when chewing the cage bars and squeeking his head off fails to result in vegetables. Love the way the black side of his face hooks around his nose... from the front he has a little cartoon nose. :))
 
What gorgeous piggies ! x)
Looking at these pics reminds me of my piggies when i first for them as babies :') i love flicking through my facebook album and just seeing them grow ! I wish i'd written the dates down and weights like you have though !
 
He does! Penny's all black besides her back right paw. The coloured patches, or in our case, white patch, makes'them so cute. Squeezing tugs at my heart strings everytime.

They are very handsome boys, I think it's a great idea to take weekly pigtures, you can see how much they've grown.

Thanks for sharing

Saturday 12th May.

This week the boys have had their first experience of the outdoors and their first taste of grass. (see the green spaghetti thread.) They've been a bit grumpy with each other all week so I've bought them a stunt piggie - sergeant ratty - who will be joining them to hopefully deflect some of their hormonal dominance behaviour from each other.

Wilbur 798g (+ 22g) "Nom nom beetroot"

Otis 712g (+ 11g) "Say cheese"

Oops - I've been so busy the last couple of weeks working late most nights and in Jersey visiting family at the weekend so I haven't updated the boys thread. They're growing huge now, especially Wilb! Otis has come on leaps and bounds trusting me and although still hates being picked up he doesn't run away when i stroke him - he even sits staring at me while i stroke him now wheras he's always impatiently wriggled away from me before. Wilbur has also learned Otis's trick of chewing the bars for food so I now face a total racket whenever I dare to open the fridge door. :)) Here's there recent weights and pics...
