Hello.
One of my kunekunes , Brother, likes to take mouthfuls of straw and hay and decorate the field with it in corners and by trees. The other two don't do this.
I asked a pig expert once and he said they had too much bedding and they didn't eat hay, so he was finding a way to dispose of it. But they do eat hay.
I like to think he has a creative side .
Does anyone else's pig do this? Or do I just have a special boy?

after i put fresh straw down in the ark one of mine kks goes straight in there and rearranges it all and wont let the other two in until he has finished he goes wild if they try to get in while he is decorating

I'm afraid I have two that do exactly the same (and it's brother's sister and mum ::) :D)
While they've been in the shed over winter, both have taken to removing a mouthful of fresh bedding from their (perfectly constructed) bed and placing it at the far corner of the pen - they're a little strange :innocent: but it could be my fault :roflanim:

Give them a pile of bricks and a pile of sticks and see what they make of that HH, or would they need planning permission first :thinking:
Huff and puff piggies ;D

I don't think they'd manage to hold the pen ;) (and I'd like to see the council try to evict them :innocent:)
On a side note.... I'm thinking of letting my 'big' pigs have a go at building their own outdoor nest in the wood this summer :thinking: (assuming we get a summer and not just rain) I'll let you know how it goes :thumbsup:

So it's in his genes then Karen!
Keep up the breeding programme and you could have a sideline
