@@barneshomestead1240 thank you, although it wasn’t my idea so I can’t claim the credit!

@@Abbayabbadoo thanks but I think too crowded, although much of it may have been excitement at something new. I’m going to redo it probably.

Yeah, that's become a regular feature of the storyline now! Although the narrator sometimes gets told off if her language slips too much!

@PigCorner ahahahah thats so funny. Just curious because I've been trying to figure it out (not in a creepy way lol) is it your voice with and ai filter on it, or an AI text to speach that's really smart and has an accent? You don't have to answer that if you don't want to haha just curious

@@Abbayabbadoo No that's definitely not me. I purchased the voice a couple years ago for my flightsim hobby.

@@Abbayabbadoo OK

@@Abbayabbadoo thanks so much, I’ll check it out!

I'm sure I could make one of those,. It can't be as difficult as a spiral staircase! lol

@@PigCorner yesss that would definitely be cheaper than buying one

@@Abbayabbadoo Have you ever watched Robert Grimes in Aus? Dozens of boars all living together. I don’t know what the secret is. I asked him but he couldn’t really give me an answer. Wish I knew!

@PigCorner hmm i think I might have heard of it before but I'll have to go back and look, I think the reason my boars don't get along is because two are super dominant and fight and two are super submissive and it's a bit of a clash of personalities that seem to always cause fights. But I've got them in pairs now and I half don't want to rock the boat yk?

@@Abbayabbadoo if and when they move outside to a shed would be the time to try it, especially if they’re going to be able to free roam into part of the garden as well.

@@Abbayabbadoo It's a delicate balance - trying to make it the best it can possibly be for them without upsetting the applecart. There's always going to be a bit of compromise I suppose.

@@PigCorner definitely having more space will improve the balance, I'll have to test the waters a bit. Hopefully they will tolerate eachother

It’s been pretty dry here for quite a while now. Every day like this in winter is a bonus. They all just love being outside.

@PigCorner I can't wait for spring when it dries up a bit haha

@@Abbayabbadoo Yes I think we can all agree on that. Roll on summer, that's what the piggies want!

@@Abbayabbadoo Thanks so much. They have taken over now and have become the focus of my everyday life. Hard work sometimes but I love it!

@PigCorner definitely, I wouldn't be without them

@ Thanks, and the same to you and your assortment of animals, which must keep you busy.

@PigCorner ☺️

@@JGrant-q5o thanks, that’s very observant and you’re quite right of course.

Hi again Meowler, hope you had a good christmas. Yes apart from kicking Piggly B, trying to hump Amos and knocking the tree over he behaved quite well this time. Although we didn’t actually see what happened with the tree of course.

@@OGShaBrim Thankyou Barbie. Nice to see you back again.

@@JGrant-q5o veggies only of course, but gosh can they eat! They’ve hardly stopped since they arrived here, especially those Essex boys!

Pike has featured in a few, but he and Amos don't get out as much as the others. Thanks so much for your interest, and best wishes to you too 🎅🌟✴☃

It’s actually funny because one of my elderly dogs is named Amos. Nice to see another one! 😆

@ I don’t think I’ve known another Amos either, so that makes two of us. Plus two of them of course!

@@Meowler I think he’s done well to calm down this much, and doubt there’ll be any further improvement. He certainly keeps them all on their toes!

I guess Heather must be skating on thin ice by now then? It would be a shame to lose her though, wouldn't it?🤔 Dunno, maybe viewers have had enough of her, and would be happy to see her replaced?

Nooooo, she’s okay! It’s all in good fun anyway lol

@@Meowler I agree, I think she's OK for now. But I'd be interested to hear what other viewers think too. Some may not like it at all?

Feisty indeed! It has improved cconsiderably though as there are now 3 feeding sticks. Mario still likes his own spot under the stairs though.

@@PigCorneru should make 4 or 5 u have a lot piggies they cute 🥰 pretty health looking !

@ Thanks Barbie, there are 3 now and it’s better. Don’t think there’s room for more as they would be too close together, and they’d be rubbing whiskers with each other! Unless I extend the wooden base outwards maybe, to make room for more? I'll have to see if there's any more of that wood left.

@@OGShaBrim Thanks so much, and welcome to Pig Corner. I hope you enjoy watching them as they live their free range life here. They are lucky piggies; I too miss the ones I have lost in the past and I doubt that feeling ever goes away. Hope to see you back here again soon. 👍❤️

Hi, and thanks so much. Cedric is a dear, but he paid a bit of a price for standing up to Stanley. He's OK though, just likes to keep his own space now. My understanding is that Cedric and Percy are brothers, Stanley and Harvey are brothers, and they all share the same father. Albert also shares the same father as those four, and they were all born at the same time, on or around the same day. Pretty cool isn't it?

I think I've got that right regarding the 5 litter brothers. Wendy will probably correct me if I've got it slightly wrong. Their father is a rescue piggie called Yogi. He has a coat of many colours, and that's mainly where the boys get their different colours and markings.

@@PigCorner That is cool! :) You’d think they’d be more tolerant of each other considering there’s some familial bond there, but no. Piggies will be piggies.

@@Meowler They were all well behaved in each others' company when they were young, but the dynamic has gradually changed as they've matured. I think Stanley and Cedric both wanted to be boss. Of course there's the added twist that the three tri-coloureds are also brothers (about 6 months older) - so creating the two tribes, for want of a better phrase!. But yes, piggies will be piggies as you say.

Hadn't thought of it quite like that. Was under the impression at the time that there was recognition between the five siblings and great excitement at being together again. Meanwhile Amos doesn't seem in the least bit bit bothered and just wants to get his cavolo nero down his neck.

Thank you for your interest and welcome to Pig Corner!

Thank you bh. Yes they lead a pretty good life all things considered. They can be a handful at times, but are well worth the effort. Can't imagine life without them now!

@@crystalalpaca9859Thanks very much for your interest, and welcome back to Pig Corner. As you must already know, piggy life is mainly eating, sleeping and chasing one another around. But it’s fascinating to watch them doing it! You could probably add exploring to that, provided their environment is rich enough.

@@crystalalpaca9859So do you expect to be rescuing one or more of the rescue piggies then? My guess would be it may well turn out like that. Best of luck with it and I’m sure you’ll find it rewarding.

I think Heather is simply testing the waters, checking to see how far she can push the boundaries and still get away with it. Maybe she needs a list of words she's not permitted to say?

I think Stanley is doing his best to make the channel all about him, never mind the others!

Maybe Stanley was acting up because he knew he wasn't on the thumbnail for once!

There are 10 of them Melanie, but they didn't all appear in this one. They are introduced by name in the clip 'Meet the Gang'. Thanks for your interest and great to see you becoming a regular visitor.

I'm not sure how he does it. Maybe it's because he's white and he catches the eye more easily. He's certainly a character, and very loveable, despite his behaviour sometimes.

@@Melanie-z1o Hi Melanie, thanks for dropping by again. You’re quite right, these little guys haven’t stopped eating since they arrived here back in the summer! The older two are probably not quite as bad now that they’re fully grown, and more or less fit to burst. I think the key to it is perhaps to give them other things to do to keep them busy.

Very true! You’re on the ball as always. Great to see you dropping by every day, thank you.

It’s just that with the food being so high up there were some great shots of Albert doing his clambering across sideways and standing tall etc. There are more ‘out-takes’ of that, which didn’t make it unfortunately.

@@jhsl1600Hi, thanks for your interest and welcome to Pig Corner. There are ten altogether and they are introduced by name in the clip. ‘Meet the Gang’.

That view of Stanley munching away on pellets is a bit misleading tbh, as he's squeezed himself up into a ball! In fact I was just thinking yesterday that he is possibly the smallest and skinniest of them all. The camera angles can be deceptive sometimes.

lol that too. Also guinea pigs often scrunch up like that when they’re eating to appear bigger and scarier. I love how fat and floofy it makes them look.

Yes indeed, I remember seeing a female piggy sat on someone's lap once that somehow managed to make herself look about the size of large rabbit! Don't know how, but it was very cute!

And yes, the stainless steel chopsticks arrived and are being tested out right now! Unfortunately they are a bit shorter than the old ones, so we probably won't see any more of Albert's gymnastics!

@@crystalalpaca9859 Thanks for the feedback. Trying to gauge how far to go with that line of humour and what else she might say without offending anyone.

Yes, I’m beginning to think they enjoy apples more now than cavolo nero - which I had always thought was their favourite.

Mind you cavolo nero is so expensive here that they only have it when it’s on special offer. So it’s hard to judge really.

@@ConnorClayton1445 Yes Albert is pretty amazing in what he can manage to do, especially when there are apples involved. There are several clips where he manages to stretch, climb and contort his body in different ways. He has a beautiful shiny black coat too, and he’s usually the first one out of the door in the morning!

@@ConnorClayton1445 Thank you Connor, that’s very kind. Thanks for tuning in and pleased to hear you enjoy the show!

@@Melanie-z1o Yes indeed he is. He’s always at the centre of any mischief. There’s a bit of a storyline developing with him.

@@Melanie-z1o hi Melanie, thanks and glad you like them. There is a bit of a story behind Stanley and Harvey’s names - see the Stanley & Harvey clip for details. Their brothers had to have names to fit in with those two, so all are what I would call old fashioned names I suppose. Thanks for your interest.

@@Melanie-z1o They are a handful to manage but I can’t imagine life without them now. The herd has expanded from 3 to 10 during the last year. It’s become virtually a full time job now, but I love it.

@@renep.1451 Thanks for your interest, and many congrats on I think being first ever to say where you’re watching this channel from. Hopefully the first of many?

Well done again Meowler. You’re doing very well indeed at being first to comment every day. If you keep this up I’m going to have to think up a prize to award you! But seriously, thank you so much for your interest and your insight. I’m glad you enjoy watching these guys and hope you realise your dream and have your own herd of piggies one day.

@ Lol you’re welcome. It’s like following a TV series at this point. I’m invested in the antics of the Pig Corner boys. :P

@@Meowler I'm struggling for content tomorrow though, unless the metal chopsticks turn up in the next hour or two. Might have to just settle for Heather narrating an old clip, but not too many of them left to do now thankfully!

I had a laugh at this, as you've almost managed to steal tomorrow's script regarding Stanley the problem child! Either you're getting too good at this, or I'm lagging a bit!🤣

Omg, wow! Maybe I’m secretly reading your scripts when your back is turned? 🤫

Maybe I should just let you write the scripts, and be done with it? 😊

I actually do write, believe it or not lol. I wish I could help with the scripts, though working on my novel keeps me so busy. 🫠

If you’re a writer, you could probably write much better scripts then? Main issues I have with it is that I don’t know yet how far to go with the humour and Heather’s occasional distasteful language. Plus there are some things she says which just don’t sound right, so have to find alternatives.

@@Meowler Thanks, but that's entirely dependant on Wendy, of course. Dixi has to have some baby boys first! There was an opportunity to add two younger brothers in Oct, but I passed it up - which I guess I regret now. Two virtually identical brown and white brothers. But they went to a great home I understand.

There was little bit left of one apple last night., the very top bit which I guess they couldn't reach. This morning I found the chopstick snapped off and the apple gone!

Hahahaha, oh my gosh… Looks like you need to invest in some metal chopsticks? 😆

@@Meowler Yes I need to do something about it as starting to run out. I'll be finding myself in trouble soon when it gets discovered!

@@Meowlerchopsticks on order, stainless steel. Thanks for the suggestion.

Yes indeed, poor Amos! Although he does seem to enjoy it, and even go looking for it, if given the opportunity. If anyone has any advice on dealing with this, I'm happy to listen!

Hi Wendy. Yes thinking back he was fairly well behaved when he first arrived here, although already very vocal! His mischievous nature has gradually developed as he's matrured.

No problem! 😆 I can understand the piggies getting to poor old Heather sometimes. Also I love the spiral staircase, that’s a great idea honestly.

@ Thanks. The spiral staircase was probably the most difficult bit to make, to get the measurements and angles right. But it was worth the effort. None of tthe piggies would use it initially, but now at least 7 of them do.

Yes indeed, Heather might find herself out of a job soon if she doesn’t watch what she says! This is a family show. after all!

@@Meowler And yes, Stanley does behave as if he owns the place. I couldn’t agree more. He’s completely different to his four brothers/half brothers. But he’s a very loveable pig nonetheless!

They don't get that very often tbh, usually only when it's on special offer in the supermarket. With ten of them, a pack of it is gone straight away!

Hi Noelle, the tunnel is only there as a feature to add interest for them really, and has been used in various different layouts inside and outside the house. I take your point, though, maybe I should add a support at the exit point, something for them to step out onto, or up onto if going inside. Thanks.
