Sleeping method in the hay rack

Our cousins agent Chanel, Bo Peep and uncle agent I came to visit as auntie Janneke was on holiday.
We both liked the hay rack, they had in their sleep-over cage, as the pictures all show...

Agent Wheeker doing a silent rumble

Our 'little' agent Wheeker was trying out her rumblestrut,
she didn't make any rumbling sounds with it, but she sure looked cute!

Agent I visiting the Guinygirlz

After our dear auntie Yaya (agent Piggy galore) passed away, our Uncle Igor came to visit us for the weekend. This way slaves hoped he wouldn't feel to alone. All the Guinygirlz were very interested in him (and the Hay!). Here's a small video our slaves made of the visit:

Giving piggies medicines by syringe

Actually we do not want to cooperate for this post, but as it's sometimes important to get medicines inside us, we are writing a post about
"How do slaves give unwilling piggies their medicines?"

Many piggie meds are in a fluid form, and can be given by syringe (without a needle!)
How do the slaves get it there?
Our guinea pig guru Peter Gurney tells us to wrap the piggy in a towel.
We do not use his exact way. Here is a more general description by Peter on how to get meds in the guinea pig.
Most important point about syringe feeding, administer slowly! Do not squirt the whole syringe content in our mouths in one go!
Also a tip from dad, direct the syringe towards the cheeks, so you don't get the meds squirted in the back of your throat.
We are put on a towel, the back will be wrapped over our butt, this way we can't back up. Then the sides are wrapped around us.
This should look something like this...

Daisy demonstrates...

Some of us will refuse the syringe, that's why it is important to wrap us up tightly. Try to get our little front paws in as well, cause we can use them to wriggle out of slaves grip...

Lily being a really sweet pig most of the time,
detests the syringe!

Some pigs do not seem to mind the syringe at all, or will get used to it after a while. Our Chico is one of those model pigizens, even grabbing the syringe for more..

Chico looks quite relaxed when taking his meds,
(usually) there's no need for wrapping him!

More tips for administering medicines also in powder or pill form are welcome!
For the slaves that is...

So all be good pigs when taking your meds!

Is he actually smiling? Weird pig that Chico..

Piggyfriends Workout

Agent Flower here. After seeing Agent Chanel's exercise regime, I thought that I would share some of our workout photos.


First of all, here I am after jumping on a box.




Here is our mentor, Hope, sitting on her box. She taught me and my friend Agent Bouquet to do this when we first arrived at Piggyfriends and we like to run along the row of boxes, disturbing Agent Big Red and Dandelion who might be sleeping below.



Next you can see Lavender, who lives next door to us.........



........and as you can see in this pigture she has copied Hope.




And finally, one from the Piggyfriend Archives. Here is our late spokespig, Gulliver, who took exercise to the nth. degree. He was always very energetic and not only jumped up and down from his box but slept on it too. We think that he did this so that he could alert us all to the approach of veggies.

Stampede

Agent I has let me in on a secret; flashing camera's are usually followed by food.

*FLASH*

That explains so much! I just thought Agent I was starstruck with fame.. Turns out he was just food obsessed (and we all know that's normal for a guinea pig)

*STAMPEDE*

Good Morning with Agent Chanel

Pepper

Bonjour!

In the morning I like to exercise with my girl Pepper from the Gekke Flappies.

I used to do a lot of running around and lots of popcorning. And sometimes even Agent I joins in.

Recently, I added a new routine to my workout:





I climb on the roof!

*ghegheghe*

I jump off!

I climb on again, and keep doing this until old man Igor gets bored and falls asleep.

Ready?

When that happens..

COWABUNGAAAAAAAA!!!!

I jump on agent I !!!! *snigger*

What kind of morning exercises do you guys do?
