craftyhunnypie Posted January 11, 2014 Author Share Posted January 11, 2014 Perhaps I should set up virtual adoptions! He he. Humbugs & swiss roll on legs. ha ha. It's funny when they are play wrestling with each other. They are very tired piglets tonight, after their adventures - all totally zonked. Will keep you updated with piggy pics if you like. Hubby has his eye on keeping one of the stripey ones - so I may be unning a name the piglet thing on here at a later date. Glad you like them! I never imagined years ago that I'd have pigs. I feel truly blessed! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted January 11, 2014 Author Share Posted January 11, 2014 Ahh a video would be a fab idea. If I can host it somewhere like photobucket, I could do it. Hubby is more technical than me - he'd definitely be able to. Will give him orders. He's just asked if it can be done using Google drive???

Couperwife Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 what do they feel like? are they soft and fluffy? or is the furry stuff wiry? I think they should be fluffy and soft, but I bet they aren't what will you do with them all? Cathy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I was expecting them to be pink They are all lovely and I, like the others, really like the stripy one and the one with the little white socks. They are all adorable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Piglets are usually quite wiry Cathy, and they get stiffer bristles as they get older. They also have incredibly sharp teeth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 Yes - they are like a soft hairbrush to the touch, although the hair isn't long yet. Kune Kunes are known as hairy pigs. We are only keeping 2. The black with white socks 'Splodge' & a pale stripy one (unnamed as yet). The piglets have not been running riot since I took those photos. They have only mooched out the edge of the ark. Probably because it's been rainy & a bit of a cold wind. So they snuggle up to mum & lay on their backs showing their modesty under the heat lamp!

kinsk Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I love the stripy ones!!! We always say they are like solid little puppies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkshire Pudding Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Ooh! Gorgeous! Surely the stripy one should be called Humbug... Or will they lose their stripes as they get older? Piggy envy here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 My little sweeties are 6 weeks old now & simply go wherever they like. You can't get better free range than this little lot, they are devils! Three of them were in my garden yesterday stood staring at me as I was washing up at the kitchen window. Today on their adventures, I was feeding them weaners pig rolls from my hand. This lot are unbelievably tame & follow me like little podgey puppies. Ha ha. I'm quite the pied piper when I walk the fields. I followed by 9 piglets and a large trail of chickens. It looks so funny! I have some more pics of the piglets that I will show you all tomorrow.
