I'm so scared, I might try Saturday.
If only they could get along, that would be amazing.
I want all my boars paired up!

where did you get those tunnels, skinnypig? and is that a blurry stinkeye from Barnaby...
These nekkid piggies are growing on me. I thought they were ugly and weird at first...but now they're kinda cute!

Those tunnels are from piggy bedspreads!
And yes Barnaby is giving me a stink eye, to leave him alone so he can continue to eat his pellets.
Sometimes I wonder how many of those pellets Ernie actually gets.
I admit, skinny pigs do take a bit to get used to.

Today was cage cleaning day!
It gets done every Wednesday or Thursday and Saturday or Sunday. Just depends what is going on and how messy they are.
I start off by giving them their usual morning veggies and slowly work at taking away all accessories. Once there sleeping tunnels, litter boxes and so on are removed they all know their about to get fresh clean bedding because everyone leaves their veggies and start doing laps and silly jumps.
I clean by rolling the dirty fleece in Barnaby and Ernies cage, blocking them in a small section, then lay down the clean fleece and as soon as the clean fleece is set down they jump over the giant roll of dirty fleece onto the clean side. I then place their left over veggies on the clean side and take out the dirty fleece. While they eat, I replace all fresh sleeping areas and litter box.
Same goes for Calvin and Hobbes, I clean their cage while they are in it. They stay on the dirty side while I clean one end and as soon as I am ready I just call them and they jump over to the clean side.
Grover and Rugby have to be taken out of the cage since theirs has the divider and it is hard to work around.
So here are picture after their clean cages.
Rugby and Grover got new cage liners!
Rugby napping in his cozy cocoon.
Grover in his house, recovering from his eye injury.
He is doing so much better, I really don't think he would've made it if I hadn't constantly been making him eat and drink. I had to take away his tunnel because he wouldn't leave it.
I had to move all his food into his house and really keep a close watch. After receiving drops, his eye is looking great and his spirits have lifted, today he was out to greet me for morning veggies, which the other two days he wanted nothing to do with anyone.
Barnaby being his usual adorable self, checking out the fresh tunnel.
Ernie grabbing some pellets before Barnaby gets them all.
Calvin and Hobbes snoozing, they go nuts after a clean cage and are worn out from doing laps and jumps!
