Hello there,

Following the loss of Edna I was hoping I could put some new pigs on!

Here is the post I have sent to the GPDD:

Following the loss of the great Edna in December, we decided to have a quiet Christmas with just Weasel and Amelia Biscuit. However, it was noted that Weasel was becoming more nervy, not eating as much and being more fussy with food. The vet couldn't find anything wrong with her (she bit the poor vet) and thought she was missing Edna (as Edna was a great lover of mealtimes). Amelia was also getting very upset if she couldn't see Weasel so I was starting to get very worried about them.

So, off to my local sanctuary to find some more companions and we cam back with Maisey and Mirabella. They are 18 month old mixed Dutch/Agoutis, who like to be in the same pen but do not sleep together. I bought a second hand cage for quarentine and then gently introduced them. They are all together now and seem to be getting on okay (lots of noise and bottom wiggling at first), all (including Weasel)  are eating plently, with mealtimes such noisy fun so I am hopeful they will all become friends!


None of them are agents so maybe they could join (Weasel would like to be agent Stoat, Amelia agent custard cream). Maisey and Mirabella may need feeding up.



Thanks,

Elizabeth

Sleeping Methods - A Study by Agent Butterloaf

Agent Butterloaf has been thoroughly researching sleeping positions for months, the study is currently being recorded in picture detail here: http://loafypig.tumblr.com/ . The study was on hiatus but was recently started again!

Gorgeous Golden Hoping for a Piggysnap

Well try as we might we couldnt think of any other golden agoutis that we know so this is an appeal on behalf of Agent Acorn would any other golden agoutis please send us your details so we can find her a piggysnap.

Agent Acorn

I’m Agent Acorn, the fastest pig in the West. I am a golden agouti with red patches on my neck and tummy. In my collective, I’m the most athletic – even though they are fast, I can still run circles around them all! My favorite activities are running laps, popcorning, and jumping up onto ledges of various heights. I also love to eat, especially timothy pellets. Sometimes I eat so much, the other piggies complain that they don’t get enough! My agent name is Acorn because my owners think I look like an animal that likes to eat acorns.

PS just to make this really hard her real name is Russian for the animal that likes acorns get guessing.

Sleeping Method - Trust your friend

Leave your best friend to guard the veggies, safe in the knowledge that he will have saved some for you to eat when you wake up again........won't he?

Sleeping Method: Curled Up Like A Croissant

Agent PorkChop and Agent Lettuce are the masters of this method. Agent Porkchop goes for the flop down wherever you are, curl round slightly while shoving yourself over onto your side then stick out one of your little back paws and wait for cooing noises and squeals of delight from the humans.
Agent Lettuce favours finding a fold in her towel or duvet to lean her little head against, then she curls round and onto her chunky little side, sticking out one or both back paws and sometimes front paws too.

Both pigs then fall into a deep sleep with eyes unfocused, mouth and ears twitching. When woken up make sure you look around grumpy at being disturbed.

Dido Update

Update on Dido, Agent Lettuce.

First Off, thank you everyone for the advice on how to help my little angel, she is an awful lot better. I have been dissolving part of a vitamin C tablet in water and adding it to her Critical Care, she loves it and hops all over her cage, my bed, the sofa, or however she is sitting on when she decides it is time for more food. She is nibbling on her hay and pellets and we have another appointment with the vet tomorrow to check on her progress. I wish she would chew on some of her chew toys to help wear down her teeth but she is such a brat! 

Sleeping Method Flat Out
