Talking You know your pig is fat when...

... she tries to get out of the pigloo and it "follows" her for several inches as she tries to wedge her fat behind through the door.

Maybe it's time for an exercise plan?

Hehe! Perhaps you should cut the door bit off, so it is just the pigloo? I imagine, if I still had the pigloos in the girls cage they would be getting stuck too, little porkers!

I had to cut the entrances of my pigloos, my big boy Frisky was doing the turtle drag behind him too.

Re: You know your pig is fat when...

Awww...haha my Chewie has a simular problem, except he doesn't fit in the pigloo at all without skrunching up, which he doesn't like to do.


You can also see how I had to cut off the door



Here is another view.

ha ha. Well it's certainly possibly. The waists of all my pants keep shrinking.


I'm a bit relieved that other pigs have had this problem too. (Had a good laugh at "turtle drag"). I thought I was the only one with livestock over here. Good suggestion of cutting off the door. I may have to do that if I someday see that she is dragging the pigloo everywhere she goes because wedging is no longer possible!

Re: You know your pig is fat when...

Can Starbuck borrow some of the extra weight? I've been told my pigs are too thin but while they aren't losing they won't gain either. I tried cutting back on floor time (they are running fools) but they were so grumpy I gave up on that.
