Doldrums

It's been quiet.

Cannoli was the enthusiastic one.  Boadicea has no one to hassle, no one to follow around on the floor, no one to go searching for.  So she loafs a lot, having no reason to go out on her own.  It's not bad, but it's not ideal.  She's not pining, which is good.  She is more timid, which is surprising.  I didn't think Noli had that effect on Boadi.

Boadi's eating enough to keep up her girly figure, although it's a fraction of the food I had been putting in the cage.  I honestly thought with Boadicea's size she'd been eating the majority of the food of the two pigs.  But it turns out she needs very little to keep up her weight.  I often find leftover pellets in the bowl when it's time to add more.  She gets more excited over fresh hay and has even begun wheeking for morning greens.

Last week I begun the rounds of Petfinder.com searches.  I made the mistake of searching for guinea pigs on craigslist - it makes me so sad and angry seeing these single 6-month-old pigs that people have lost interest in.  Bah.

My heart really isn't in the search.  I don't want to face introductions to a diva like Boadicea.  Besides, my schedule is crazy right now, so it's going to be hard to find a few clear days to deal piggy politics.  We'll just have to wait and see what turns up.
