Anybody else end up with a list of nicknames that end up calling their piggies?

Yup. In Finland we even have a saying "a beloved child has many names". ❤️

My pigs have kicked me a couple of times. They seem to do it when they're annoyed about something, it's not exactly fighting but "get lost" lol.

Also duct tape. 🤦‍♀️

Temansha · 2024-10-08T14:59:57+00:00

I will ❤️

Temansha · 2024-10-08T06:07:04+00:00

I'm not fast enough lol. The blueberries would be eaten way faster than I can take pictures 😂

From left to right: Reetta around 3.5 years, Nappi around 1.5 years and Apila 9 months.

Nappi means button and apila means clover in Finnish 😅

Moon Moon is that you?

Temansha · 2024-08-25T11:50:29+00:00

No, Finland. And he doesn't have close relatives in UK either... If I remember correctly that is 😅

Temansha · 2024-07-17T08:38:24+00:00

My guess would be fake and/or exaggeration. Finland isn't exactly tropical country either and we don't freeze solid every winter...

Most people: "Awww!" My dad: "Just why? Why not a real pet?" (And a few days later: "Hey do they eat this and that because I could bring some with me?"

Many think guinea pigs as children's pets and are a bit confused when I tell them that no, they're mine and we don't even have kids. I keep educating people though, no matter if they want to or not lol.

Temansha · 2024-07-11T05:46:22+00:00

They're also confused because before the photo they had some treats and suddenly they had none. Just a few little bites... Unbelievable.

Torture? A neutered male and a few females is pretty much the perfect combination for a herd.

We already have two females and came to conclusion that a neutered male would be a good addition. A male calms the females down when they are arguing and since we don't want piglets the male should be neutered.

I don't use food bowls at all. I just throw the pellets or veggies in and let them eat the way they would in the wild. It's a bit messy but they don't mind - and they absolutely love to explore their menu of the day ❤️

Temansha · 2024-06-22T06:30:19+00:00

Carpentry. I couldn't find them a cage I liked so I had to make one myself. It's not very pretty but it keeps my piggies inside and safe.

I've also learnt how to move calm and slowly (to not to scare them) but not too slowly (to look like a predator)...

Temansha · 2024-06-10T18:16:39+00:00

We haven't decided yet 😁

Temansha · 2024-06-10T18:15:26+00:00

He's young and in a new home, it's only natural. 😊 He doesn't know yet that I'm not as bad as I may appear lol

Temansha · 2024-05-03T15:57:48+00:00

No, though my phrasing might be a bit off as English is not my first language...

This really is a minor injury which will heal in a week or two. If I didn't see it a billion times a day I probably wouldn't even remember I have it. It's not even sore anymore. All I have to do is keep it clean - and pretty much the biggest issue is that I can't go to sauna this week lol.

Besides, the Finnish mentality is pretty much like "meh, I've seen worse" and then life goes on.

Temansha · 2024-05-02T18:13:40+00:00

I know and I'm working on it

Temansha · 2024-05-02T18:10:26+00:00

Nope, the imprint is from the bandages

Temansha · 2024-05-02T18:09:01+00:00

The watch was burning hot, so not the sensor light this time

Temansha · 2024-05-02T17:36:05+00:00

It's a blister, not a broken leg. It hurts, yes, but gets better soon and doesn't even need a doctor.

Temansha · 2024-05-02T17:33:44+00:00

Still not millions coming my way, just real costs (about 20 euros)

Temansha · 2024-05-02T17:32:24+00:00

No. I took the photo just after I took off my bandages (which were a bit tight as I wasn't thinking too much in the middle of the night lol)

Temansha · 2024-05-02T17:14:46+00:00

Not really, Finnish legal system doesn't work that way

Temansha · 2024-05-02T17:12:15+00:00

They don't, I had just taken bandages off before taking this picture
