Cecil has been with us for a couple of days now and we haven't seen much of him yet, although yesterday he did venture out while we were in the room to have drink.
I'm putting his veggies just outside the front of his hidey so he has to peek out to get them, and whilst I haven't seen him do it yet the veggies are disappearing while we are there. His hay is going too.
Last night Ruby was squabbling with her Mum over who should sit under which stool and she can be quite loud and we actually heard Cecil calling out to them. They stopped for a moment and called back and then settled under the same stool together ( which is what they usually do. I think Marigold just wanted to stretch out.) So Cecil is aware that there are other piggies in the room with him and is responding to their calls.
Today he tried beetroot for the first time. Our girlies love it and he seems to have eaten it all.
we are all being very careful not to make any loud or sudden noises around him but of course the "Business" of the room must go on as normal. We all talk to him in a calm voice as we pass and will occasionally pop something nice in as a treat.
It's going to be a long haul but the fact that he is responding to our piggies gives me hope that we will get there in the end.
