Sounds like it might require two of you. One with a good pair of gloves on, and the other to try and get a good picture.
Either way, it sounds like it might be a good idea for a vet visit, but...

I even went and found it on the US Amazon site for you.
It always pains me to see someone who has to give up their pig. Personally it would have to be a very dire situation because otherwise I'm not certain I could let them go.
I hope it works out...
Every single one of us on this forum, came here one day for a reason. Some of us were looking for help. Some of us were looking for cage ideas, and some of us were doing research prior to picking up...
Your idea about the Rainbow prism struck a chord with me. It just fits perfectly with the idea of the Rainbow Bridge where our beloved furballs play and await us.
So, I went on Amazon and...

You gave it everything you had. And I'm absolutely certain that little FT knows the lengths you went to for him. And I also know that HE knows that the final decision you had to...
There is a cage section here if you need cage ideas, and there are so many great ones. For two pigs, a 2 grid by 4 grid is generally accepted as the minimum but go bigger if you can. They'll love...
Oh, what adorable little things!
Love those little faces!
I am so sorry for your loss.
Many of us have been in that very same position, to have to make the decision to do the kindest thing you can for them. And it is so very, very painful. It never...
He's pretty much back to normal now. He and Leo were both waiting for me this morning and while he wasn't running around wheeking, he was active and his vocals have definitely picked up. I suspect...
He still hasn't been out to greet me in the mornings, but tonight he was wheeking for his bedtime veggies. Leo's kind of been aggravating the crap out of him too which doesn't help. I'm sure it'll...
He's come so far, through so much adversity to get to you. He's probably never been this well looked after in his life.
He sounds like such a sweet boy. I just want him to be well.
He has improved, but we aren't there yet. He had his bedtime veggies from cover last night, and he did do a little exploring but was very darty, quick moving and nervous.
This morning, again, he...
I'm in the same boat.
If they do have hay in their cage, as suggested just make a new pile out of it. Hopefully they'll have enough interest in it to tide them over.
If they have pellets I think they'll be fine. While not ideal, it's not like they're going to go hungry.
Do you happen to be lucky enough to perhaps have some nice fresh green grass for them to...
You gets what you pays for, unfortunately. I'm not surprised at all to hear this. And hey, it even happens in the better brands of hay. It IS an agricultural product and the harvesting process is...
I have seen people with lights around their cages. Personally, I wouldn't because my boys can reach their noses OVER the top of a 14 inch high grid. The less temptation to chew things they...
Yeah, I've seen them get weirded out before and act funny. The only reason I posted about it this time is because it was so far out of character. Not even just skittish: outright terrified. I had...
New experience this morning.
I usually try to sleep in Sunday mornings, much to the piggies dismay. By the time I get up, usually around 730 they are running around wheeking and waiting for their...
I have a weather station that sits on top of my cage, and it measures indoor and outdoor temperature, humidity and outdoor barometric pressure. Short of putting it right IN the cage, i have the best...
The other thing to consider here, is were all three of the piggies male?
If so, the general rule of thumb is no more than two males. Three just seems to be a number that will not work, and...
Hay is the one thing you can't go overboard on. Pellets, yes, but I would say if it's not a regular occurrence then it would be ok. Running out of food is not a good idea.
If it's appearing better, keep doing what you can do until you can get him in. Your weather is going to rapidly improve starting tomorrow. I can't imagine how frustrated you must be. It must be...
First of all, I believe you need a new vet. A small animal vet means dog and cat, and they know little to nothing about so-called "pocket pets", and can even be dangerous to pigs.
You need an...
Your weather is going to gradually improve over the next few days, and by Thursday (Friday for sure) you shouldn't need to worry. You've made it this far, your pigs are gonna be ok!
