NO SHAMPOO!!! I had got myself all ready. I had a tub to sit one in then planned on putting the tub in the bath. I bought new gloves and was mentally ready for the fight. But it didn't show up.
Not very much happened today, I held both girls and looked for lice. Only found one so I am guessing the spot on has killed some off. Gypsy came easier than Bessie. Bessie screached like she was being hurt and tried very very hard to get away. I didn't hold her for long. It was long enough to notice a bit of either hair loss or cut hair on her back. i am going with hair loss and the fungal thing I saw the other day but on a different area of her back too. Can't wait to treat them and help them feel better. I offered both Coriander but neither took it on my lap (they ate it in private later).
They seem to be eating more of their pellets now and when I went out to get the washing in earlier they were in the open part of the hutch! First time I have ever seen them in there voluntarily. They didn't scarper straight away either, they stayed there a few seconds. My eldest daughter (7) has run in a few times today to tell me how exciting that she has seen them in the main part of the hutch a few times today, they don't seem to mind the hustle and bustle of the kids so much.
Both were put in the run today while my tame pigs were out in a seperate run. They spent a fair bit of time in there and at one point one of them even ran all the way to the other end of the run (farthest away from where they can hide). Quite brave for these two.
Feelings I am getting so far are that Gypsy will be more confident that Bessie. Watch this space and hopefully tomorrow - shampoo.
