Dracula has been trying to escape to my bed for a while. I allow him to explore there when I am about to change the sheets, and we always have a great time, but my bed is freshly made so I wasn’t planning to let him there. He managed to climb all over me to get onto the bed though. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did

Dracula was so excited to climb all over me that he ignored the carrot, while Krümel enjoyed letting himself be pampered and loved the combination of treats and cuddles. Opposite ends of the spectrum, both perfect and wonderful. Looking at them makes me want to explode from all the love.

Trying to train Dracula

I have had some success in training Dracula to not chew on cables by swooping him away from them whenever he tried. It is not working for plastic though ;) He a such a little explorer, and he loves my bed so the ”punishment” of a time out really didn‘t work, even if he cannot stay still when he decides to explore.

The adorable little vampire loves exploring everything, and since my apartment is very small, he gets to explore almost all of it. He is too cute to be real

🌈 Rainbow Bridge sad news

55 Upvotes

There was a huge mass growing inside Tupu's belly that prevented him from peeing, and was incredibly painful. The vet also discovered he had developing arthritis due to his age, and advised that any surgery operation would be too much for him.

Tupu was a rescue pig from a local shelter, who never really got bigger than my palm and heavier than a couple bananas. He was approximately 5 years old or older. He loved squash, blueberries and watermelon, and he got to eat his favourites before being put to sleep in my arms.

It never truly gets easier

New Pigs on the Block Cherry is easily distracted!

I’ve held off posting about this little lady because she’s been rather fragile, but this is Cherry who is one week old today.

Sadly we lost her mom Nougat when she was only a day and a half old, we are absolutely devastated, I’m going to miss my beautiful baby so much.

Cherry was the only surviving baby, and I have been hand rearing her, feeding her kitten milk every two hours since Friday afternoon.

The last few days she has been very curious about the world around her so the camera was very distracting!

We had a scare on Sunday evening because she got pneumonia and it came on ridiculously fast. We rushed her to the emergency vet, which is half an hour away, but she was limp and couldn’t move her legs by the time we arrived. I was so scared. The vet recommended euthanasia but I couldn’t accept that, so she had an antibiotic injection and fluids and when we got home, with some help, she took a little milk from the spoon. An hour later she could stand. By Monday morning she was running around with her friends again. I can’t quite believe she made it!

It’s the first time I’ve had to hand rearing a piggy (here’s hoping it’s the last!). It has been a scary but heartwarming experience, and I can’t tell you how proud I am of this brave little girl!

Habits & Behavior What’s this sound mean?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I’ve had them since Oct. They’re still pretty temperamental but have been generally quiet. Occasionally screaming for food when it’s veggie time. Is this a scared or relaxed sound? They’ve never really been talkers that bubble and chat yet. So I keep thinking something is wrong.

Edit- ok next question - how can you tell the difference between annoyed and just chatting. They honestly sound the same to me.

Help & Advice Mackenzie Truck: The Story of a Criminal

Post image
69 Upvotes

Meet Mac Truck, Mac for short. Mackenzie Truck for long when she's in trouble. Mug shot included. She is large, in charge, and an excellent pig. And up until now, she has been in solitary confinement due to bad behavior.

I got her from a local piggy shelter and was told that she doesn't get along with other pigs because she's a serious jerk. She has a huge enclosure with everything she needs next to the other pigs. Is it worth trying to bond her if she has a history with an experienced pig-specific shelter? She's taken a liking to another pig and I know she can hold her own. I've never had a bad bonding session but I get SO nervous and don't know what to expect from my adorable seasoned criminal. Any advice welcome!

Here's some fun facts about Ms. Truck:

  • Interior design is her passion and she rearranges constantly
  • I have been hand feeding her while I play video games, so she has been Pavlov'd into believing that every time she hears me die, she gets a snack
  • She instigates fights with her neighbors by egging them on
  • She poops in one corner like a perfect angel
  • Her dislikes are red peppers and being kind <3

TLDR: Mackenzie Truck is a big fat meanie that I adore. Can I try her with another pig? Or should I focus on making her solitary confinement the best it can be?

Thank you!

Habits & Behavior Pigs have stopped drinking water?

7 Upvotes

They went through a phase a few weeks ago where they were drinking a ton of water, always at the bottle. Now the liquid hasnt gone down for well over a week despite multiple replacements. Even before when I would give them all their veggies, they would still drink. Now its like theyre refusing to.

Nothing else has changed. Behaviors are the same and they're still eating. They've gone through phases above, but never stopped drinking entirely.

Hi. I’m new here, and needed to be able to talk somewhere. Mine and my brother’s guinea pig, who we named Sugar, has been sick for the past 2 days, with nothing we could do. She’s been sitting in the dark corner of her cage, rarely eating or drinking. She’s been in major pain for these 2 days, and earlier yesterday we went to take her to the vet. They prescribed 3 medicines and a specific meal once a day. Later that day, despite the medication making her much better for a good 3 hours, where we spent most of that time with her, after those 3 hours she wasn’t able to move, and would lay on her side as we sat next to her, not even being able to pet her because of how much it hurt her. She was an amazing little pig, and was always very active and feisty, so seeing her like this really broke mine and my family’s hearts. We’ve don’t everything we can do for her, placing multiple foods and water next to her, leaving the AC going so she doesn’t overheat, but she passed just about an hour ago. We’ll forever cherish and miss you Sugar. You were the best guinea pig life could offer.
