Grown up Gingerpig

As requested (see 70, I do pay attention sometimes), here's a pigture of Gingerpig now he's a big boy of 6 months. He's nearly as big as Scruffy who refused to look at the camera. They're all packed up in their tray ready to be transported outside to their run. Scruffy sits quietly during this process but Ginger needs a thumb kept firmly on his head to stop him trying to leap out.

Ahh he's gorgeous Fernie he has blossomed into a lovely lardy boar Grin

Abbys do tend to be slighter and rangier , smooths have those lovely curved lines (though with GP4 her lines are all out, none in)

Scruffy knows the routine for sure, Gingerpig still has all the lairyness of youth Grin

And he still has the long waves of fur behind his ears, very Rock Star .

He has tufts round his ankles like a shire horse and two very long strands (horse tails) on his rear. Keep wondering if I should trim his 'tails' as they could get slightly unsavoury as they trail on the ground sometimes.

Gosh if we tried to get them outside in a tasty like that we'd sounds the next few hours catching them from jumping off into the garden!!

Sounds?!!! Meant spend.

He's lovely Fernie. Can you get a shot of his shire horse haired paws, they sound awesome.

Impressed that you can neatly pack them up on one tray. It takes me several trips to get my girls into the garden.

Started the putting them plus food bowl and water bottle in one tray when we had Smoothpig. He was so calm, it was easy and Scruffy became used to it too. Now Scruffy keeps Gingerpig in check and they're so used to it, they do generally sit quietly in the tray (it's a cat litter box). I can leave them in the tray any where and they don't attempt to get out except if I put it down in their run.

Gingerpig has just, this evening, had his first haircut. His shire horse legs were getting out of hand and a tiny bit matted, so they were trimmed. He was very well behaved and earned himself one of Currentbuns special biscuits. I'll try to get a close up photo tomorrow. His ear tufts are longer now too.
