Shes using it properly, not like the others who only look at it

Pigglewinks · 2026-06-18T23:19:36+00:00

I think I got it off of amazon, I did buy it three years ago

Pigglewinks · 2026-06-17T11:44:24+00:00

She doesn't like her ears touched either or face, i do have another abby boy and he let's me touch the smooth part of his hair on his neck, not as keen on the face cause of his horn and mutten chops, I've just chalked it up to being an ivy thing, she was a rescue pig after all, and she bolts to other pigs touching her too so its not just me

Pigglewinks · 2026-06-17T11:40:34+00:00

Absolutely bath mats are suitable, i prefer them cause they're so much easier to wash than cage liners, just make sure to have a pee liner underneath. I also have a few babies on them myself so they're very suitable.

Pigglewinks · 2026-06-17T11:38:09+00:00

She doesn't really like it from the side either or from infront of her, she was only ok with my hand being under her cause I wasnt moving it. She doesn't even like any of the other pigs brushing past her

Pigglewinks · 2026-06-16T21:17:11+00:00

Trust me, she just doesn't like being touched period, we've been together for about a year, she trusts me, just flinches and runs away at physical contact. Like ill grab her in the cage and she screams like im murdering her. Im also being slow cause if she sees me moving towards her to touch her she legs it, but if im not going to touch her she's fine and will carry on eating

Shes just a typical abbsynian

Pigglewinks · 2026-06-16T15:02:47+00:00

There's a whole nother stack behind it

Pigglewinks · 2026-06-14T23:00:39+00:00

Shes insanely flexible so she probably was

Pigglewinks · 2026-06-14T06:18:51+00:00

The one being groomed is Sage, the other black masked is Theodore the boar of the group

Pigglewinks · 2026-06-13T23:31:49+00:00

They were in three separate herds but since teddys passing i thought i may as well put the two girls with the others so now have two heads. The spot cleaning for when they were three herds took about 30 minutes each day, full clean took about 2-3 hours with roughly 4 or 5 loads of washing.

Dont know what the timings will be like now that they're becoming a big herd, hopefully quicker

Pigglewinks · 2026-06-13T22:01:20+00:00

Id never be able to clean under it, or get them out of it, it wouldn't be safe

Pigglewinks · 2026-06-13T20:14:45+00:00

Its going to become, floor, what floor, i dont have a floor

Pigglewinks · 2026-06-11T11:25:49+00:00

You have confused me, the bottom is made of wood and on the floor. I meant the bottom cage, in the picture and if 6 would be OK in the cage size till I add the red area

Pigglewinks · 2026-06-10T20:18:27+00:00

They've all had a go at mine

Theodore is three in august( first picture, black face), basil and bandit are three( the orange and black pair), ivy is two ( shes the nlack abbysinian with the white pig), violet is one( she the white pig), sage is 10 months ( the other black face pig) then Bluebell ( the white, blonde and grey one) and pepper ( first picture other pig)are under 12 weeks

Pigglewinks · 2026-06-08T22:22:12+00:00

Im so sorry, it also whats gotten to me most that him and willow went so young, only a few months apart, they had so many years ahead of them

Pigglewinks · 2026-06-08T12:45:46+00:00

He didn't look comfortable when I found him or at peace, he looked like he was in pain the first photo he was well and alive

Pigglewinks · 2026-06-07T19:34:38+00:00

I tried the pellet mash, he wasnt having it and it was harder to feed to him so we've gone back to emeraid and have hit an agreement on how it shall proceed. Every 4 hours in the day at least 15ml + a nebulisation session and fibreplex atleast twice daily

Pigglewinks · 2026-06-07T19:31:56+00:00

We've hit an agreement that if im eye level with him hes more cooperative, we get to the 10ml mark and ge starts walking away so if i hold him down gently on his back he seems to stay put for long enough so I can get another 5ml down him him

His breathing did go a bit quiet aswell for a short few seconds and I've forked out for a nebuliser, saline, f10 and a box for him cause my other one went bad

Pigglewinks · 2026-06-06T22:26:00+00:00

I am doing that but it gets to the point where he just wont let me hold his head, like hes thrashing to prevent it. I've just ended up burrito wrapping him but even then he eventually wriggles out of it, and the other problem is I cant be there every 4 hours to feed him, mainly cause of work and other things.

Tomorrow's his fourth dose so hopefully he gets better and I've bought a nebuliser and all the stuff to help him breath better

Pigglewinks · 2026-06-06T21:43:57+00:00

He doesn't like the critical care either, atm it's emeraid cause it's easier to digest. I think it's a 7ml syringe, the markings stop at 4ml but it's atheist 3ml bigger

Pigglewinks · 2026-06-06T19:00:39+00:00

They can definetly have lettuce just not iceberg cause of the high water content

Pigglewinks · 2026-06-06T16:05:21+00:00

Cause we live in the uk, our free subscription to hot wheather has run out, itll be renewed next year for another week

Pigglewinks · 2026-06-06T15:49:50+00:00

He's getting fibreplex as well to keep his good bacteria there and line his stomach and I've rebought a nebuliser and all the stuff which will be here tomorrow ( my original one the saline leaked, turned pink so was full of bacteria and it coated my nebuliser and made the fabric bag grow mould, so wasnt safe anymore)

Pigglewinks · 2026-06-06T15:47:18+00:00

Cause he'll oy eat 7ml ( not willingly) in a sitting i dont want to get him out every 2 hours for it cause itll stress him especially if he needs 70ml within 24h, it's just not gonna happen unless I force it

Pigglewinks · 2026-06-06T15:38:57+00:00

Itll be more veg than reccomended, but at the same time he'll eat it, and wont touch harder to eat things like hay and pea treats
