I think its time for some formal introductions of the Pigs!

What began as two young sows and turned out to be a buy one get three free kind of deal, so 8 piggies in all, but they are all lovely.

First off, is Alice's Family.

This is Mummy, Alice, and her daughter Professor Sprout (She is a bit young to be a proffesor, but never mind!)

Alice's other daughter, Blodwen Pig

First off, Matilda

Her daughter Adora

Her son Igor (my Dad thinks he looks like a Piccasso interpretation of a guinea pig!)

And last but not at all least, Captain Darling, who may be blind and deaf but he makes up for it with a very loud voice!

The house has been taken over by small furry critters who all squeak in unison every time anyone opens the door. They are so very demanding! :)
 
awwww what a beautiful piggie brood youve got!

The mums look very young though, havent read back through your posts so dont know the history....were you give 2 pregnant baby sows :(
 
They were very young :( I was unaware they were pregnant when I got them. Though Matalida has always been small compared to Alice. I was worried about her being pregnant because she was so small, but she was fine, no problems luckily
 
Aww they are all gorgeous! I am so happy you are keeping all the babies.
 
Little stunners, they are all really pretty x) Patch looks like he is concentrating so hard on the grass!
 
Ive just read your other threads :(.....what a shock for you I'm sure.

have to say that they all look well though :)) even your little Captain Darling! Adora and Igor are just x)x)

Did you got back to the petshop at all, just interested to hear what their excuse was ?/
 
What a lovely family! And what a shock for you! Poor little mums indeed!

Thank you for sharing. I just adore your "Picasso pig" and Professor Sprout is right down my alley...

Well, I called the shop to complain, and all they said wa 'I'm really sorry, that shouldn't have happened' Very helpful to me grrrr. So we complained to the council, who went to inspect them. Not sure what has happened since, but the animal welfare people seemed to be taking it very seriously when we spoke to them. I intend to go back to the garden centre and see how they house their animals now.

However, all the pigs have brought me nothing but joy, even though the house looks like a barn right now:))
 
Oh my goodness what an adorable little family! Professer Sprout is drool drool
 
Your instant family are just gorgeous x)x)x)
Really sorry to hear about them being so young.... I'm so glad they have you and your forever home to look after them all :)

Really cute pigtures x)
