My piggy is Nala and she is two years old. She is a rescue from the ontario SPCA that i got last July. I went to get a cat and came out with her as well because she was just too sweet to leave there.

Her favorite food is green peppers and will got nuts for carrots when she get's them for at treat.

She doesn't really have a favorite toy but loves to zoom in and out of tunnels when she is out for floor time.

The cutest thing she has ever done is popcorning when she sees a carrot coming her way. The funniest thing she has done was trying to communicate with my cat! her favourite place to sleep is on heap of clean rags that she will crawl into. Unfortunately she likes to poop in her big pile of Hay so I am forever cleaning it out and adding fresh hay.

I love my little piggy as she loves lap time and keeps my company while I work on my computer.

If something doesnt go her way then she rubble struts and pounts untill she gets tired and for gets it, but trust me she'll fine something eals to complain about. when i hold her tho its like a hole new piggie, the additude disappers and she cuddles right up to me and eather A.) licks me all over or B.) sleeps. shes one of the sweetist female pigs I'v ever known.

Omg, that first pigture of Marble made me LOL, literally! He looks like he's doing the same! Hahaha

Hah, yeah. He's my camera lover! I get some hilarious pics of his mouth, but not really any of Twixie's. I've discovered that you can get funny piggy pictures while they're eating because then their mouths are moving around and everything. lol

Our other piggie is his brother, Nugget. He is different in that he loves to sleep in his pigloo. He is very shy, and we haven't had them long, so it's hard to answer for him.

I'm still figuring out how to get some pic's of them for everyone to see.

 

[nibbler100]

Very cute! So she's a lone pig?

no lol i have two others but i need to get home to do thoes XD i was in a hurry last night

 

[CritterLuvva]

I can't wait until I am happily settled in with piggies of my own I can share with you all, but for the moment I have to be content to listen and observe. It may be 4 months, at least, before we can get piggies, but we want to start off on the right foot! Loving all your piggy bios and pics, though.

By the way, if I were able to respond to the poll, I would hope I could say 3. I know how important it is for piggies to have a buddy. I'm going to do every thing I can for my piggies, but sometimes things happen and when they do, I don't want my piggies to be alone in their grief. So I think 3 is the prime number for me.

 

[MissJean]

I love all these pigtures, especially ones of their pig lips!

@CrazyCavies Eagle looks so elegant and beautiful! Prince charming!
