A gift for a niece that I'm only keeping for a bit before we're give it to her.
New pig. Storebought. I had a pig as a class pet in first grade. Myself I've had hamsters a rabbit.
I've had him for like two days now. I made a big enclosure like I've seen, fleece bottom hidey holes etc. I'm awesome at that kinda stuff. hes got hay and pellets. some lettuce Water in a bottle and a little dish.
No resistance to handling. Freaky. I say to him I cant believe what a tame animal you are.
This little guy is like catatonic. Just sits. Sometimes I find him in a hidey hole, if I take him out and place him in the middle he just sits there- I even give him a little poke.
Thinking his enclosure was too spacious I made him one from gigantic semi opaque storage bin. Hay in there, and shredded paper. A little box hide. I sometimes hear him moving around a little..
I know that he CAN move since I tilted the box and he started sliding down he perked up and scrambled.
He is like not eating anything. Barely drinking. only drinks out of the dish and it doesnt seem like much. If I shove a lettuce leaf at him he takes like one bite.
I weighed him and he was 345g. today it was 320.
I tried syringe feeding him. The pellets are too clumpy to work, so I took some soy based protein powder (muscle milk) sugar, olive oil and psyllium husks and water. Strangely he has kinda taken to the syringe feeding. Pretty cute actually. what's the daily caloric requirement for GPs? I can only find approximate diets based on weight of hay eaten and what not.
I dont know, the not eating doesn't really bother me as much as how he just is frozen all the time. It's even difficult to TRY and scare him.
What's up with this guy?
