I had a phone call a couple of days ago from a friend who knew that I kept pigs wondering if I could rehome  "micro pig " which guess what******It had grown into a large boar and was too big for the back garden.
I might add that it was not my friends pig.

i love my pigs but the micro pet pig don't get.   betsy i do love but the amount of people who say i want one? why they love rooting destroying gardens my dog i can walk saying that my pigs are great at walking to heel too. hubbys workmate thinks having one is brilliant.  they are hard work same with my hens ducks ponies but i dont regret having them even when you say they can be smelly muddy this person is going to get a house with a large garden tried telling her they need acres of land cph number couldn't cope with a kitten hopefully it never happens pity the animals sadly my micro piglets died thru the cold but the gos x saddleback are thriving fat n chunky going to be some size

Jane did the piglets die from the cold as in influenza or just succumbed to the temp      did not think this winter was as cold as last year         and do you have an unrelated breeding pair and how you would know this for any certainty as they don't have any official status     just asking :farmer:
