It's 11 o' clock at night and our piggies are wide awake...

[LordOfTheFlies]

The boys are in at night and out during the day. (DH has ordered a heater for their pig house so that they can still go out when it's winter.And they've got hot water bottle & Snugglepad heat). If they were in all the time they'd go stir crazy.

But they go into over drive when they hear the fridge open. I'm making coffee - they hear the salad drawer.
Or anything rustling- they assume it's for them.(So no sneaky bag of crisps )

At this rate they'll be noturnal like hamsters !

piggies are lovely when they chat

our very old piggie lives in doors all the time now, only going in the run on nice sunny afternoons

she can tell the time i swear as she gets excited just before the salad feeding dd comes home from school at 4pm

DDs piggies even start talking as we go up the stairs! They also know when DD goes up to bed at night that it's feeding time so they start squeaking then.

The poor little guy living on his own goes bananas when he hears DDs voice, sqeaking for her and running around, and snuggles right into her when she picks him up. She'll then spend ages carrying him around with his bum in her hand and his body lying along her forearm just how DH used to carry her when she was tiny He doesn't react like that to anyone else's voice!

But yes, anything rustling makes them talk, whether it's a plastic bag, piece of paper packet of crisps - anything!

Iiiiiiit's piggy party time! :)

In a bid to save money, I've filled their indoor cage with shredded paper to fulfill their nesting/burrowing instinct, topped with Readigras and Alfafa hay.(So plenty to eat)
They have a dish of vegetables to chomp on.

But they are being so flippin noisy.
It's like sharing the room with someone having a fight in a paper bag!

Back to the fleece and hay I reckon!
