Pig Planet: The Adventures of Baozi and Ace
It's been a while since I reported on the happenings on Pig Planet. Well, it's been quite an eventful two weeks! We moved (not very far, just across town) and so the pigs are in their new home... which actually looks quite a bit like their old one.
It's summer in Hawaii, so the pigs are chilling next to a frozen water bottle with a sock on it. (Sorry, I can't resist bad puns).
They were looking kind of scruffy so they had a bath.
And they continue to enjoy life's simple pleasures. There are few things the piggers enjoy more than lounging on the bed
Eating delicious foodz
Making new friends
And being petted:

Ace continues in her bid to be the weirdest guinea pig alive
Although Baozi is giving her a run:

"You say I love lettuce? How do you know I love lettuce?"
"A jailbreak? I'm not planning a jailbreak!"
But as weird as they are, I love my piggers.
Greetings from Pig Planet, until next time!

These pictures are wonderful. It could just have been the time of the day that you took the new cage pics but their new cage looks so much brighter! It's lovely.
And wee Ace's goofy little leg in her eating picture made me laugh aloud! :) What a little cutie.

NoCableisSafe: It is brighter! My old room was on the first floor and was down in a little recess so it didn't get that much sunlight. Thanks to that and the cinder block walls I used to call it the dungeon, lol. I'm on the second floor now and get a lot more sunlight especially in the afternoon. The piggies love to wander around on the bed in the afternoon sun. :)
C. Cole-Chakotay: to be fair, she opened her eyes when she noticed me hanging around with the camera. :p

Just a quick update today. Ace pig seems to really love my knitting basket.

And the two piggers relaxing:
I am a bit worried about Ace lately, since she seems to be losing weight. it's odd though, because she seems otherwise healthy. She is active, eating, pooping, doing her normal piggy things. She has been shedding lately but it's not the first time since I got her. I suspect it's the hot weather since Baozi was shedding too. Ace got a clean bill of health at our most recent vet visit (which was a few weeks ago), so I don't know what is causing the weight loss. Anyway, here's a screencap of their weight chart:
The weights are in grams.
Breadfan4, given how light Ace is lately, I have been feeding her more! Hopefully she fattens back up.

I love your girls! I had a pig called Ace and he used to sleep with his head in the pellet dish so he didn't have far to go for food when he woke up. Laziness must be an 'Ace' thing.
Do you weigh your girls at the same time of day each time? I know I've weighed mine before at different times of the day and they can fluctuate quite a bit.
You obviously watch your ladies alot, and interact with them a great deal, but it's worth keeping an extra close eye on Ace when she's eating just to make sure it's not teeth troubles causing her to lose weight.

Jaycey, I usually weigh them on Friday afternoon when I clean the cage. Some of the weights were taken at different times though, b/c I forgot :p
I've been keeping an eye on Ace, and so far she is still the lawn mower pig (I nicknamed her that b/c my Mom says she eats like a lawn mower). Maybe she lost weight from the stress of the move? Heck, I lost weight from that! lol.
AldenM1, I did knit the stuffed pigs! I got the pattern on etsy: http://www.etsy.com/listing/77145890/th ... ome_active. Thanks!
