The field the bebbies are currently residing in is huge and goes far back over the hill. When they do turn up, however, I can see that they are very happy as they are incapable of going anywhere without playing. They play all the time – a constant source of amusement for each other. I could watch them all day – Bebbie-Watching. I wonder if there is a tourist market for this?
They sneak up on each other, pretending to be all innocent and chatty and then strike, like their teeth “just happen to be in the area”.
No one has any bite marks, though, just silly grins on their faces. No more slow, miserable and weak ponies. They are becoming stronger and bouncier by the day. They are still having two daily regular meals of hard food and I hope that the size of the field will build muscles now.
I have just discovered Storm deliberately rolls in his empty food bucket. I have no idea why but he seemed to enjoy it.
So don’t be lulled into a false sense of security while they look all innocent and butter wouldn’t melt – 3 bebbies are really 3 Tiggers – They’re bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pounce….Fun, fun, fun, fun, fun!
brilliant that they are now so lively and full of life!
Love how well they’re doing!
Frances, if I could drive there, I’d pay you money in order to set up my own lawn chair near the bebbies to watch their antics and maybe steal a nose-snog or two. Seeing them bounce around is a delight.
Love that they are as normal as Shetland Bebbies are supposed to be. Wonderful
I have a dream vacation in my head. It involves flying to your island and getting to spend a whole week with you and your many fuzzy beasts. I’d even be happy to do scooper duty and haul heavy stuff. I’d be in heaven.
Lovely to see them so full of beans!!
Well done! They could be different animals to those you collected- they were barel expected to survive the transfer journey- just look at them now!
Definitely a tourist market there… people go whale-watching & bird watching, why not Bebbie-watching?

Of course there is a Tourist Market for watching Bebbies play! As for rolling, perhaps Storm is just very happy to have a food bucket. Thanks for rescuing them and sharing them!
