You can usually get your PC to save it with less detail; I use Windows Picture Manager, Picture => Compress => for Web pages, then Save As so you don't lose the original high definition picture.

gorgeous!
will they keep that brown colour?

is that an unusual kune colour, or just that I've never seen it?!

she had one the brown colour the last time, 2 this time but they look lighter/slightly more ginger this time, did worry it was a throw back from wild boars because they have stripes too but on the KKPS it is a notified colour, got a more chocolatey brown stripey too. My friend got the last brown one (named Honey) so will see if i get a photo of her to see how she has turned out!

Congratulations!

We're on our 5th litter of piglets now but the joy of new piglets arriving is just as special every time!!!

Loved little Jet (I have a soft spot for runts).

I agree with  SallyintNorth, piglets can give you some of the best experiences of your life so ENJOY!  ;D
