HeHe... Thanks! I feed them with Oxbow Orchard Grass and Brown's nutrition plus (premium diet) everyday... Often, i give them pandan leaves and everon vit c(recommended by mochi) too... And their treats normally includes apples, corns and carrots.. Actually the above pics are taken sometimes back.. wobby and frosty are bigger now.. as fat as the others.. Here is another pic taken after their nice bath... and is quite long ago... The one beside snickers is oreo, frosty's mom and she died due to water retention in the lungs.... She is very cute and loves human touch... she is one of my piggies who will approach you each time she sees you...

They look really nice & healthy How i wish my piggies are as fat as yours. I feed them oxbow pellets & hay. Used to feed them Browns pellets. They love the colourful pellets but i find that they put on weight after i switch to oxbow

My piggies fight for the coloured pellets initially too.. But its not very healthy for the piggy to get too fat... Think Wheek should post her Piggies photo... which is even bigger and more chubby.. Then is Speedy very active??... Wobby is very daring, active and he can jump very high... He can easily jump out of the cage via the cage's top opening. Snickers has a very weird resting posture too. He likes to "sit" just like a human does, sometimes either he support with one "hand" or he would lean against the cage for support. He can lie on his back for sometime too with no resistance. As for Kinder, he can stand and "walk" a few steps using his hind legs only. He does look like a bear sometimes. Too bad i dun have a digital camera on hand to capture these stunts... And all these talents of theirs are discovered or trained by my hubby...

Speedy passed away last yr. This is his pic I have 5 piggies. Cowabunga, Chickadee, Tiger, Mama Pig & Sausage. Chickadee has some skin problem & has very little fur nowadays....gotta bath her every week...if not her problem will get worse. But i can't find time to bath them every week so i bath them once every 2 weeks.

If you are interested to check out their pix, the name of the thread is Munchkin and Cocoa.

Else i can spend 2 1/2 hours cleaning cages and bathing them every week. AsH wrote: I seen Munchkin and Cocoa's pic. They are soo cute. It's surprising to me as well when i see them doing those "stunts". They only show it after i build the playground recently and i'm definitely amazed by their speed. Joyce wrote: That's rite, Joyce! I've a room dedicated to my babies. Actually, building the playground is another headache for me.. anyway, i decided to place the mat becos i use newspaper as the bedding and i dun want them to get messy. I did the same thing for my gers' cage cos im using sand cat litter as bedding, hence with the mats on top, the food would not get dirty. i would vacuum the playground each time after the piggies had their fun.. Its only once in every two weeks do i need to change all the newspapers and wash the mat with minimum effort becos my piggies do most of their "business" in the litter pan. i clean the litter pan once every two days, so still okay. Personally, i use the mats and newspaper due to monthly maintaince cost. I would be broke if i have to use Breeder's Choice to fill up the playground or it would be very difficult to clean up if i use the sand bedding(a lot cheaper). Soooo comparing $$ to effort, i rather spend the effort..

I bought a resale flat last year... With only two person living in it and having four bedrooms... i tot having one bedroom delicated to them should be ok.. Its really not that big though... If i were to live with my parents, these wont be possible too... Im sure all of you do let your piggies have some floor time rite? Its sama sama.... Your piggies wont hate you lah....

i haven't visited de forum for quite some time. personally, i'm in luv wif de playground (of course ur gps too). usually, i just let out my babies in their room wif some boxes, toilet roll (wifout de toilet paper), etc for them to play. at de end of their floor time, there's a lot of cleaning n floor-mopping to do. so, i think u hv double de work dat i hv to do wif all those mats n newspapers. still, ur play pen is juz de most beautiful thing i've ever seen. i admire ur effort n creativity. cheers!
bedding - i use shredded papers for my gps. it's free from my workplc.
