Pepper and George

We had decided not to take on any more pigs, 12 pigs eat a lot of food.

However when we heard about this poor girl and saw the condition that she was in, we had to do what we could to help get her out of the squalid, muddy conditions that she was kept in. (more…)

We get quite frustrated by the usual phone calls about pet pigs, but for once we received a call with a difference.

This week we have taken on yet another unwanted pig. She came with the name Charlotte but as we already have a pony with the same name we have renamed her Penny. Yesterday we set about introducing her to Rocky our Kune Kune pig thinking that he might like a friend.  Unfortunately he didn’t take too kindly to sharing his house and seemed quite upset by this potential new friend.   (more…)
