They keep us on our toes! Good idea there @Siikibam

I don't know how I've been missing these lovelies. Just caught up on this thread, covering the hidey entrances is a good idea.

I’m sure I could fit in on the right there and not disturb them too much!

 

[Siikibam]

It does doesn’t it @VickiA Fudge is the one who most enjoys sleeping on a bed of hay. He taught Toffee to delight in it too

 

[Siikibam]

The boys are absolutely loving napping in their hay tray. Makes me happy. I also sneaked in some lap time when I trimmed their nails yesterday

 

[VickiA]

Look at those faces, and those feeeeeet

 

[Siikibam]

Ive just given the piggies the first harvest from the lettuce I planted. It went down well. I had the leftover leaf and it’s not bad. No pic as they devoured before I got the chance!

 

[Merab]

Such cuties

 

[Siikibam]

The pigs got quite a big handful of grass from the garden today. We have some long bladed one that’s growing along the edges. They also got a small handful of some I’m growing in pots.

Your boys are gorgeous, I do love a chunky boar!

 

[Siikibam]

Your boys are gorgeous, I do love a chunky boar!

Thank you, they are rather fetching

 

[Siikibam]

The boys surprise me sometimes. Their wooden houses are usually near each other on one side of the cage. The other day I moved them so they were at opposite corners. They started taking turns sleeping inside. One would sleep inside and the other would sleep nearby outside. So today I put them back after changing them.

Seems they have their ‘affectionate‘ moments which melt my heart. This lasted a couple of minutes before Toffee went for more hay, and there was no arguing. Love my boys

You can’t beat a pair of well bonded boars

You can’t beat a pair of well bonded boars ❤

They don’t deserve the reputation they’re given. It’s all down to misunderstanding/misinformation.

 

[VickiA]

A pair of well bonded boars is often far more affectionate to each other than a pair of sows in my experience

It seems that sows can be more nasty than boars. With boars it’s more ‘obvious’. Interesting how they behave differently.

 

[piggieminder]

I love my boars and I don't think I would consider having sows now. I just love how they behave as if they hate the sight of each other one second and the next are sharing a pile of food as if nothing had happened. I'm sure all their rumbling and chasing is just bluster and they do it just because they can.
