Bit quiet on here at the moment... I assume nobody is having hoggy problems at the moment!
I just noticed something slightly odd that Bob has taken to doing recently - he sits next to his water bowl with his head resting on the side and his chin in the water. He can sit like that for ages and not move, and I was just wondering why he might be doing it? I've had a good look at his jaw and there don't seem to be any problems with mites, etc, but I am a bit concerned that he might have hurt his mouth when he bit me the other week.
He is eating OK and has no problems getting his fuzzies down him.
Has anyone else seen their hoggies doing anything like this, or any ideas about what it might means?

I've had no problems so far with my little Matilda she is doing just fine. When I got her in March she was just a tiny little thing weighing 14g. Never missed a feed and has had one good shed. Now she is 45 g :-)
