Chock
chock fell asleep inside his hay box so he went back in rather floppy with sleep and with out any antics that he usually does to avoid goin back in.
chocks full of personality and love. He likes his cuddles. Hes turning in to quite a squish now hes getting on a bit in age. Hes getting very teritoryal too as he gets older i have noticed that. he doesnt like it when children or anyone passes the house. He teeth chatters at them as they walk past even though hes never been outside. he has a beautiful thick coat which is glossy which is a sign of good health. his food has vitamin c added to the mix so i think thats what has added to his glossy coat.
chocks eating his breakfast with great speed. It amazes me how quickly it vanishes. He has a big ciramic bowl for his veg and a slightly smaller bowl for his food which is also ciramic so there is no chance with out tipping.
chocks having fun in his running enclosure this morning. I love hearing him having fun. :)
he did however throw a tantrum because he had no greens this morning as i came back from london really late last night so couldnt get to the shop to get any and he let me know how unhappy he was about it.
managed to get chocks cage cleaned out this morning. Hes always thankful when i do it for him. bless
hes been running around popcorning and talking to him self since his cage was cleaned. He loves running through his hay stack till he tires him self out and then he falls asleep in it.
chock was out in his pen for over an hour before asking to be put back in so he could sleep off the salad he had stuffed him self with. he had fun anyway thats the main thing.
chock is throwing a strop. Hes wanting leaves but he only gets them in the morning. Hes not happy!
he is very good at letting me know if he is displeased about something just as he is at when he is.
chocks had a good run this morning. so glad i got his running enclosure even when he didnt use it properly until the hay box was added in. Now hes hard to get him out of it even when hes had enough.
chocks having a riet in his pen this morning. :) he loves to get out and run around in the mornings. I love hearing him eating and playing.
cleaned chocksters cage out this morning and he is all happy again. Running around, jumping about, wheeking to him self. He always does this after a cage clean. its amazing how dirty the cage gets after such a short space of time.
mind you i would be worrying if the cage wasnt dirty as there would be a case of impaction to deal with.
chock didnt wanna return to his cage this morning after his run. I had to remove the hay box in order to catch him. Managed it in the end. Chock wasnt impressed. he wanted to stay out longer. He had all ready been running for an hour and a half by this point of me putting him back.
i think its inportant for pigs to spend time outside their cages. We benifit goin outside so why shouldnt it be the same for a pig. Thats my reasoning anyway. A forageing exploring pigs a happy pig.
