When I first got my Kune-Kune weaners they got out a few times and I could not find out how. Mildred went walk about where as George stayed closed to the barn. We double checked the electric fence and that was working well. In the end I spent the morning watching Mildred and she had found a hole that a badger had dug under the fence that we could not see due to a big bunch of nettles. Once dealt with problem solved but she was always looking for places to escape, think she thought it was a great game.

Yes, pigs are the masters of escape. I went to feed my saddlebacks one Sunday morning and they were nowhere to be seen. After a bit of searching I found them in our "neighbour" (who lives a good 4 acre field away) garden. They seemed to like his lawn as the picture shows. I feel your pain my friend!! Lol :)

Oops luckily when we had ours they were in stys so we had no escapes thank god, but pigs are so thick skinned they are undeterred by anything including barbed wire & electric fences :o & goats are buggers for getting out & destroying things ;D But your posts did make me :roflanim: :roflanim: I hate to say xx

:roflanim: :roflanim: :roflanim: Currently there are 9 middle white piglets racing about chasing the sheep outside!!! They've managed to squeeze under the fencing ...... didn't think it'd take 'em long to discover this route - its a fairly well trodden one for piglets these days :innocent: :roflanim: . Mum is lying down enjoying the sun and the peace and quiet :-J .
