Little pet pigs at 3 months

The piglets had their 3 months birthday on September 28th

they seem to get cuter by the day

and they are such amazing little characters.

Black micro piglets

Our piglets are all black like Bertie except for one who has a littelheart shaped pink spot on the end of his snout - so cute.

And this little chap who has two white socks.

So small

The piglets were 3 months old last week and they are still so very small, that is my son's hand in the photographs.

They are now fully weaned and spend a lot of time away from Mum & Dad, they like to visit Hugo and Florence - especially at meal times!

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.

Breakfast with Mother

Our miniature micro pig gilt is such a good Mother, here she is breaking into a cauliflower for some of her little piglets to try.

Cauliflower is one of Lucy's favourite vegetables so she eats a little,

but then stands back and watches her little ones eat.

Even though she has missed out on most of her breakfast Lucy is happy to oblige when some of the piglets want some milk.

Pig in moult

Our dear little Bertie has gone from hairy pig

to bald pig in a matter of days.

What is going on? Is the pressure of fatherhood too much?

No, Bertie is simply moulting and will regain his lovely hair in a few weeks. Meantime we can help to keep his skin in good condition with baby oil.

Eat Your Greens

At just one week old these amazing little micro piglets are already trying to sample "grown -up" food.

Just look at these little ones tasting the veg!

Of course they are still dependant on Mum for their nourishment and as you can see trying adult food can be thirsty work.
