[Gpdd] HEALTH <and diet!>

[laura whiles]

Wow!

Many thanks to everyone for the advice already i've recieved within 24 hours 
of joining the GPDD! Bertie is on his way to a different vet's tomorrow 
morning, i will let you know how i get on!
Very glad to hear Brownie Bear is so much better, Leah, gives me some hope 
for my little mini wheeker.

Also very pleased to hear that Craig loves his piggie so much- my partner 
Nick gave me a grudging 'yes' when i said i needed piggies in my life again, 
(reckoned they would smell bad and thought they were funny-loooking!) but 
absolutely ADORES them now, doesn't even mind too much when they leave 
little jelly beans all over him- i also hear him talking to them in baby 
voices every time he walks past their hutches.
As for feeding, sounds as though you are doing great to me, my two get as 
much dry mix as they want (i never have been much of a fan of pellets, call 
me silly but i always think they look boring! Dry mix gives you all the same 
ingredients as you get in pellets, but all seperated out so piggies can eat 
all the bits seperately and enjoy the flavours!) They also get veggies 
morning and evening, usually lettuce, carrots, cucumber, dandelions/grass 
etc, peppers, can't get either of them to try spring greens, maybe too 
bitter?  They also, of course, get through mountains of hay!

Also found out what the Poo Trail was today, and swiftly joined up my two.  
(they could get to Seattle on their own in about three days i reckon!) most 
happy to have found people as daft about piggies as I am.

Much love and squeakiness,

Laura, Nick, Archie and Bertie.
