Cage looks great but just curious...how on Earth do you clean the bottom level?!
The tan pig looks to have some hairloss in the same spots. See the picture below the original of the one Lynx copied.

It's fur colour Lynx. She has light brown splodges on her rump, and on her left ear. Fluffy's go a full covering too, although her coat is really strange. It's soft, but has a wiry texture to it, and it's all different lengths with super long fluff on her rump. I was comparing her to pictures from when I got her around 5 months ago, and she's Fluffier than ever.
I was super observant when I first got them, as my first pair came with lice (from a pet shop - I didn't know any better) and needed to be treated at the vets as they were only 7 weeks old. The poor little boys were riddled and itching like crazy. The rescue treated the girls as a precaution when they were taken in. They don't display any signs of infestation.
The bottom floor of the cage - the front 5 grids come out. The 2 grids at either side are clipped in at the corner, cable tied together, and work as a 1 grid door, and a 2 grid section that pops out. When both 2 grid sections are removed, the front of the plastic folds down, and the middle grid with the water bottle attached can be removed. I haven't needed to take the middle grid out for cleaning. It holds the weight of the top floor and stops the front from sagging.

Snowy has been a poorly girl lately and had lost weight.
However, she hasn't lost any of her cheekiness. She even helped Mammy clean out the kitchen.
By emptying the food dishes, ready to be washed. How considerate.
Fluffy couldn't bear to be left out.
All that helping deserves a lie down. And a drink of water.
Mammy made cuddle sacks.
It's better to sit on top of them than inside them.
Snowy is feeling well enough to steal tomato from Fluffy's mouth again.
Me? I don't steal tomato.

Snowy says thank you, she's feeling much better.
Snowy's had a troublesome UTI, made worse by a bad vet giving the wrong meds, then the right meds at the wrong dose. We got a new vet and got the right treatment, and it seems to have worked.
She's been med free for 9 days now, is steadily gaining her weight back, no return of her pain or blood so far, and she's asserting her authority as top pig by stealing food from Fluff's mouth again.

Hello Guinea Lynxers. We are having a mini break while Mammy is working in Dundee. We could have gone with her, but she said it would be a very long car journey, and we would have to stay in the hotel while she works, so instead we decided to have our own little holiday. We are staying with a foster Daddy from the local rescue. It's great! We have been sending pictures to Mammy.
This is us in our run
The ground is edible!
As you can see, I am feeling much better after that awful stone was removed. Mammy says I look like a Chunky Monkey!
I am not chunky. I just like my food, and lots of it!
Well, maybe just a little chunky.
I'm not chunky, I'm Fluffy!
Next week is our Birthday. We will be 2 on the 3rd of July. Mammy said we can have a party. We'd like to invite our neighbour Storm, but he has to stay in his run with Rogue. Something about not being neutered.
We will ask Mammy to take pictures of our party.
Pictures courtesy of Dave, who has been absolutely wonderful looking after the girls and giving Snowy her meds.

My pig sitter friend had her gall bladder out on Tuesday, so she's out of commission at the moment. I thought I was going to Edinburgh and planned to come home every night, but when I realised it was Dundee, it wasn't realistic to do 4 hour journeys and full days work too.
