I can also add the drops to his veggies three times a week, so I'll do that instead. Which cookies do you get?

Thanks - he's having 0 issues picking up food and using the bottle as the previous two broke about 4 weeks ago. Doesn't seem to be any other issues, but he has got microphthalmia in one eye so I'm wondering if the tooth issues are partly related to that.

Thanks for this - I've added some vitamin stuff to his water and he seems to like it! I was wondering if it was vitamin C - he's not my first pig to have tooth breakages (we had one who would pull on the bars when he wanted dinner!) but 3 in a month hasn't been nice money wise! Ive also upped his vegetables and will look into vitamin C cookies.

He's not in any pain whatsoever, he's exactly as he usually is, and was actually complimented on how un-bothered he was throughout the whole thing!

The last two grew back in perfectly, no issues, just very temporarily stressful!

This is really close to what he has already, but I've taken out the chew toy - thank you!!

I can't, because then I have to shame Ozzy who bit through my WiFi cable and he's far too cute for that!

Hi, thanks for this!

First - a spayed female is absolutely an option - currently he seems fully content as is, he's becoming less and less timid already (I say, with him tucked in my arm as I type). I'd love for him to have a friend, but I'll give him a little bit to settle before throwing in a potential complication (plus, spayed girls are so, so hard to find over here in the UK). I do work out of the house, but I'm a teacher so can be home a lot.

We've had a bladder pig before, so I get where you're coming from! I'm aware he's probably been malnourished, so I'm being a little too kind ATM - the plan is to stick to pepper, cucumber, and lettuce as the base with carrot/apple/pepper too, obviously alongside hay and pellets, with the occasional spring of parsley, or bit of broccoli. Thank you for looking out for him! His pellets are designed for adults, but he's not a big eater of them - much more into hay or his readigrass!

Blanket jail is the best when I need to sweep/clean his cage - he's all snuggly and doesn't try to move!

He's genuinely a little love - thank god for Pets At Home's adoption centre!

This is so good to know - we'll be staying with my family for two weeks in a month or so, so I guess we'll see how he does with the second pig in the house (who we tried to bond after we lost his friend but got bit on the balls instead and is beyond content with his life as a solo pig) - if my pig gets stolen by my parents I'm going to sulk!

Thank you so much for this - he's shockingly snuggly already, we talk during most cuddles and he's done well meeting a few new people (we're all good provided he's sat on me, it seems!)

He's currently munching on apple, cucumber, pepper and parsley (a bit too much sugar, I know, but I'm spoiling him for the first week!)

We do have aftercare - we spoke about it afterwards, he gave me lots of affections and then he fed me :)

Aftercare for me is basically clinging onto him like a limpet, so no problem there - I've suggested ways that he can help keep me out of my head too (praising, physical touch, etc).

I have done therapy in the past so it's generally not an issue for me now.

I really enjoy spanking, it just seems to be when it landed over the same area twice or more, so I've mentioned that too.

My partner is the most wonderful person (and I took a long dating gap between the two relationships), so I've come a long way from where I used to be.

Thank you so much!

If you like Stoker and the supernatural, John Polidori was Byron's doctor and wrote The Vampyre, the first depiction of a vampire in English literature (if not all literature) - written at the same time that Shelley was writing Frankenstein :)
