They seem to be eating lots of grass and pallets that the seller gave
me and even a bit of carrot.  They seem very sleepy and very quiet.  I
hope they aren't too freaked out.  I try to have quiet time with them
in the lounge.  Last night I dimmed the lights and let them lie in my
lap, all sunnuggled in a blanket.  They very nearly went to sleep like
that.  They are indoors at all times now.  When they get bigger they
will spend time in an outside hutch with a run and at night I will
bring them inside the garage.  Our garage is very big with lots of air
flow, so don't panic about fumes.  My partner is not prepared to have
them inside once they are fully grown and I have to respect that.
Just because I love piggies, doesn't mean he has to.  I'm just pleased
he's allowed them inside now. I think once he saw how little they
were, he realised they had to come in.  I would love to keep them
indoors permanently like you Brad.  Our household is not set up for
that, what with having a cat and all.  Oh I just love piggies though.
Are you on facebook?  I'll be posting photos of Licorice and Allsorts
there soon.
