Meet Shaun, whom I adopted in late May as a companion for Scoffer (RIP).

He came from a home where he'd been neglected and was very timid. He was bought as a gift for a 3-year-old boy, who treated him as a toy and then lost interest. The boy once threw a kitten down the stairs, so I can only imagine that Shaun had a rough time.

His mother was a Teddy and his father a Texel. He's a big pig, and I think he looks like a beaver.


A week after Scoffer died in early June, I adopted Macallan, who was seven weeks old, four inches long and weighed about 150g. He looked like he was made from pure fluff! He and Shaun got on straight away.


Here's Macallan aged 14 or 15 weeks. The crazy hair is due to the fact that's he's an Aby and Peruvian cross (Sheba Mini Yak, I believe):


Shaun and Macallan recently. Macallan is now six months old, and Shaun is two and a half:
 
They are both beautiful. Thank goodness Shaun is away from that family.

Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous!!! I love the crazy look :) Rambo is the same her rump has the most amazing Mohawk! Glad that they have you! Whoop whoop :laluot_15:

Both goooooooorgeous!
 
Love your pigtures... and what a lovely story too... droolx)
 
Yeah, Macallan has a rump mohawk as well! For a while, his hair seemed to be completely backwards and we had to stroke him in reverse! As he got bigger, he got more of a centre parting.

It frustrates me when people buy pets for little kids, as few of them are gentle and sensitive enough to understand that they can't be treated like toys. When I used to do re-homing, I didn't home animals in families with kids under 5, unless the family were adament that the animal was for the adults or older kids and the little kids had no responsibility and wouldn't handle the animal unsupervised.
 
wow, Shaun really does look like a beaver! They are both gorgeous. Sad story about the family but yes, the parents should supervise all small child/pet interactions. I do with my kids.
 
Absolutely stunning piggies x) Thanks for sharing them with us :)
