Hi there,
I'm Brian. I've been lurking around this forum for quite a while and I just now got brave enough to post something. I'm shy lol.
I have 3 boys, Gizmo, Stan and Ollie. They're awesome piggies even though sometimes it's a lot like having 3 two year olds running around in an enclosed space. Actually, it's a lot like that...lol. All 3 of them are from the same litter so they're almost 5 months old.
If I can ever get them to hold still long enough I'll post pictures lol.
My one question here is...is it normal for them to burrow under their fleece? They have tunnels and a house and several things like that, but at least 3 times a day (I work from home) I have to go in and straighten their cage. Just today I cleaned their cage (which is always a massively traumatizing event for them. Their poor lives are just so rough...or at least that's what they want me to think
) and no more than 15 minutes later they'd managed to completely destroy their cage, food bowls turned over, fleece everywhere. I swear I was ready to start looking for toys crammed under the bed.
Anyway, HI! When I was getting ready to get my boys I spent a lot of time here reading about various things. It really helped me make a better decision about things. I'd had 2 boys previously that I inherited from friends who were moving, but unfortunately both of them died. That took me a while to get over. And to this day I still screw up and call the boys either Lenny or Squiggy.
I think I shall now go back to traumatizing my pigs with some lap time. Really, their lives are so hard...
