Aww, Bonnie, they are gorgeous!!

I'm so jealous, but we have to wait until I've finished my list of projects.... or at least until I've ticked a few more off the list! :wink:

A guy I know got 2 pigs last year & they should have gone to slaughter in November... anyway, he called them Mork & Mindy..... and so, this guy has 2 pet pigs..... :mrgreen: :lol: :mrgreen: :lol: :mrgreen:

Enjoy them - looking forward to lots of stories.... mostly naughty ones, piggies are SO naughty!! :lol:
The more people I meet, the more I like my garden :wink:

Aww thanks Julie and red , they are great.

So far they have just snuffled about hoovering up pignuts which we have thrown over the straw in the stable to give them something to do.

This morning they were lying in, snoring and erm...passing wind! They are getting more and more freindly as time goes on and now number 241 lets me scratch her snout.

Am absolutely determined not to wimp out and keep them as pets - but may keep 241 to breed from as she was an unexpected extra anyway - will see how we go this year.

Oh they're gorgeous. I'm having trouble enough imagining despatching my boy chicks when they get big and start crowing.... your fluffy weaners look even cuter. Best of luck with that one.
