watching at them might make you fall to sleep...Fantastic photos! Soooooo lovely and sooooo cosy
unfortunately they are not relaxed at all when I want to catch them from their cage... and even when it is time to go back to the cage is a difficult story sometimes... Calipso understands and goes under the table... wait for me there... I arrive and she goes towards the centre of the kitchen and wait for me there... and repeat!
I need to go INTO the cage, remove the "loft" (it is only a bread-box put on a plastic house-box...) and start the game! They are so silly! because as soon as I am able to catch them they relax themselves on my arms... why don't they remember how fine they feel when I cuddle them? their prey instinct is so strong to overcome...
thank you! and yes, the lady of the rescue has trust in me and is glad of this happy end. She runs this little familiar rescue (no headquarter, rabbits and piggies hosted into the volunteers' homes) with very strict rules just for protecting these pets. She looks a bit "excessive" sometimes considering what I often read on her fb account...
and of course people don't want to deal with troubles and strict rules. But she offers a lot: her pets (usually taken in poor conditions) are loved, cuddled and checked or treated by the best exotic vets... paid by her and with the offers she gets.
. The only trouble for me is that she sometimes sends me the pics of new piggies available...
and I must resist....
(luckily there are more than 300km between me and her!
)
you are right... it is very difficult to resist! but I have no room enough... and a vet bill for three piggies might be too much for me...
Oh I envy your self control x
they love my new Ikea sofa... and despite the thick layer of the towels I put underneath, they are able to find the little exposed spot for weeing just directly on the fabric of the sofa... leaving the towels clean for sleeping!
and as I am very smart,
I cover part of the back cushion of course so that they should climb for weeing on the sofa... In fact when I am here next to them they don't climb and PRETEND to sleep. Therefore I can go to the kitchen for one minute... and when I come back, guess what?
ever!
and Calipso needs to be caught with a very fast gesture! because if you approach her slowly she jumps in the air like a mad fish and "bites" you! Today she couldn't stand Calliope sleeping on her cheek turned on her side... Calipso wanted poor Calliope to be turned on the other side!
it was only a miracle... and the night before they quarreled until 2a.m! biting, rumbling and chasing each others because one was in heat and the other one did not want to respect her dominance...
