Snowy view from the pig's house

Snow fell Saturday night and the orchard has remained under it's snowy blanket ever since. Hugo and Florence the Kune Kune's seem unconcerned and carry on their days as usual. Lucy and Bertie the micro pigs do not like the snow and are currently only venturing out of their houses for food.

Little Pet Pigs Enjoy Apple Picking Time

September and this is the pig's view from their enclosure. of course the little pet pigs are also getting to eat plenty of the apples themselves and they are really enjoying them.

Pig Housing

There are lots of different types of pig houses on the market, wooden pig arks,

traditional galvanised arks, plastic calf hutches, the list goes on and on...

Having looked at some of the houses we decided to build our own using recyled materials, this decision was partly influenced by the offer of as much corrugated iron, wood and as many pallets as we required for free.

As you can see from these photograhs we had quite a bit to choose from!

So our next post will be about the building of our pig houses and pens but we can't leave without a gratuitous pig pic of Lucy & Bertie.
