Me too!! But if she's called mama.. it means she's given birth before, right? man.. i once read this website..which says once u have piggies, you'll start wanting more.. it's correct!!

yup yup...she gave birth b4. Her baby looks exactly like sausage. That happened 2 years ago...gave birth within 1 week of getting her. I rehomed her baby to a member fr cavy galaxy. Nah, dun wana breed her. She will lose a lot of weight & hair when she is pregnant. Me too!! But if she's called mama.. it means she's given birth before, right? man.. i once read this website..which says once u have piggies, you'll start wanting more.. it's correct!!

nope, did'nt get her from petshop. As mentioned in my previous post, i got her from someone who advertise her for sale via the internet. The ex owner don even noe she was pregnant untill the day she is going to pass her to me...cos before she pass her to me, she bathed mama pig & found that her tummy is very big... i did'nt keep the baby cos at that time, i was quite new to piggies & i only wanted two piggies....mama pig was purchased to keep my male sheltie company. Bought a male piggy to keep with him but he was quite aggressive so decided to get him a female companion. Unfortunately, my male sheltie died early last year. He was very cute & has very nice soft fur. Missed him so much cos he was my 1st piggy. See his pictures www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid66/pe2c7212d2fa490ff03cce48a489e4dd4/fbe1de63.jpg[/img] www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid66/p49fb65c4c7212c3f9fd7371075b5ee25/fbe1de84.jpg[/img] Aww..why didn't you keep the baby? was it a male? must've gotten pregnant in the pet shop...you got her from a pet shop, right?

hee..ur piggies won't let u feed him like dat ah? i tot piggies will do anything for food...generally they are very motivated by food.....so maybe u can try next time.
When speedy was around, my sister used to put her thigh next to the cage & let speedy climb fr his cage onto her thigh to feed him...i dun do that cos i'm allergic to their scratches....if their nails dig into my skin..i will get rashes & my skin will itch....
He is my fave piggy but he often fall sick....*sob*

Hmm..mine don't... or rather..i take my fingers away the moment i feel a bit of their teeth..but i think i've only ever been close to bitten once or twice..when caramel was trying to bite the cage down to get to choco when choco was in a cage of his own.. guess it's in their nature to chew?

but their bites and nibbles are only out of curiosity mah, abit only will let loose le... wont hold on for long one... like when my bailey wanna nibble my finger, i jus let her and after one bite, she confirms that its my hand and not food den she will stop liao... maybe that is one of their natural way to 'test water' lor... hahaha...
