    Bonding Piggy squealing/shrieking when other piggies come near

    Thanks Emilygn.. it's really helpful to hear someone else's experience. Although I can't see any evidence Glitch is being bullied, it's proving far to heart breaking to ignore and she just seems to be getting thinner and thinner so we've decided to separate her from the others. She's going to...

    Bonding Piggy squealing/shrieking when other piggies come near

    They have about 2 square meters and a loft space full of hay... I've also put some boxes of hay on the ground floor of their cage so there is plenty of place to sit and an entrance and an exit in all the hidey boxes so she can make a quick get away if needs be. Could it be stressful all this...

    Bonding Piggy squealing/shrieking when other piggies come near

    She's clear of mites... she went to the vets about the runny poos and apart from loosing some weight she's got a clean bill of health. Her coat is lovely and glossy and I don't think I ever see her itch. She's so much calmer as soon as I pick her up for a cuddle (she loves people and cuddles)...

    Re: Have I fed her too much veg? Thanks, yeah they are going to try and look at her teeth this week. She usually chomps on the scope thing so much they cant see anything so it might be a cause of an anesthetic. I shall mention the other antibiotics, especially if she doesn't perk up. Her weight...

    Glitch's medical thread

    Re: Have I fed her too much veg? She's had baytril lots in her lifetime... its the only thing we've found to keep the URI she carries at bay. Thanks to some poor petshop breeding and caring she was really ill when we got her... and she is getting plenty of probiotics to counteract the effects...
