hi there - I'm new but wanted to show you my piggies! I have 8 at the moment but one is very pregnant - and she is near the end so keeping a close eye on her!
I will tell you I'm a very small scale breeder (2 litters a year sort of thing!) - but only out of pleasure for my self - i make no money from the babies and all my piggies are treasured and very pampered pets - like all of yours!
I hope i am still welcome here!

this is Misty Rose - lilac and gold- (very pregnant!) with my little Peanut (the cream and white teddy)

Dougie (White) and Ivie (Lilac)

and my group of 4: Apollo (Lilac Teddy), Dolly (Silver Agouti rex ), Cleo (Tort and white sheltie) and lilly (Chocolate and white sheltie cross)

Apollo has been fixed so these are his companions!

hope you like them!
 
Your piggies are very gorgeous indeed! I love that group of yours!

yes i have read the rules and i have no intention of talking about it, but i wanted to be up front and honest. But i am madly in love with my piggies and hope that is enough to be accepted by you all!

I did actually recently take in two sows and managed to find a loving forever home for them so i was really pleased with that!

You are doing the right thing; we occasionally get people on here who join without bothering to check. Sadly, it is in practice very difficult to distuingish between good and bad breeders (Who would admit to being a bad'un?), so I you have to either allow them all in or keep them all out.
 
Beautiful piggies x)
 
The group's cage is so cute, I'm jelous! And the piggles are beautiful of course! :))
 
It's nice to see piggy-topia returning - however i do have to be honest and question your 1-2 litter's per year statement. Ive searched your website and your current group of 4 (where in the photo's you state Apollo as being neutered) are all actually possibly expecting litters, as Apollo is actually an in tact male! You also have another girl on your site displayed with another boy - so that's 5 sows possibly pregnant!!

While i think your piggy shed and piggy-topia are fantastic i do have to question the 2ft x 2ft breeding blocks you will be using for your pregnant sows and their babies - these are almost certainly not being bred as pets!

You have a whole breeders website set up for the purpose with a for sale section and expectant litters section - this suggests it's much more than just a 'hobby' and is done for more than just your own personal pleasure...

I'm not having a go or anything - but i just feel if your going to state you wanna be honest and upfront - then that's what you should be!

On another note i do love to see mini-piggies, so do keep us updated and spam some pigtures of the little ones when they are born x)
