to mount Wilbur and Wilbur was angrily asserting his heterosexuality.    It
got to the point where Wilbur was hiding in his igloo and chittering angrily

I've had Munty for just over a month now and she keeps doing something
odd - I'm worried that shes hurt or something.
Every now and then (maybe 3-5 times a day) she'll start leaping around
in the air like shes hurt her foot or something shaking herself - seems

Just dicovered a lump on Jelly's hind quarter /back near rump.  It's quite
large (1 1/4" around),soft, hairless and smooth.  He appears in no discomfort,
not even when I touch or press on the lump.  Jelly's eating normally, jumping

very well now after I gave them their own rooms. It was definitely a

It's almost 3 weeks ago now, i must go to a colleague and pick up 5
piggies.They were all from the same former owner.
