This is my first post, I would like to say thanks for accepting me..
I am knew to the piggy world (3 1/2 weeks) & I am completely attached
already. I have 2 males, Ben & Tommy. Respectfully named for the Pittsburgh
Steelers QB's.
I feel I have quite a bit of information & I am confident on issues of
housing, feeding, the vitamin C issue. We are on schedule & seem to be doing
great.
Unfortunately, in 3 1/2 weeks, we have been at the vet 3 times. The little
guys came to me inundated with ringworm. I am so attached to these little
guys. I could not imagine after taking care of them, not being there for them. I
have a question that will definitely show I am an amateur. I know it takes
time, but I am worried I am not getting their 'piggy language'.. I get the
teeth chattering, the popcorning, the loud wheeek's from the wiggle of the hay
bag & the fridge opening. Also, the much much louder wheeek during medicine
time when they don't want to be held down. My problem is, when I hold Ben, I
feel almost certain that he likes to cuddle but I'm worried I may be wrong. His
signature noise while I'm holding & cuddling him reminds me of a brand new
puppy whimpering. Short little wimpers kind of.
I was hopping for comments about this specific communication. He does not
attempt to get away, he runs to my neck & cuddles, making the whimpering/whiney
noise. Any suggestions?
