mine spend along time chewing haylage, then spitting out chewed up lumps where they feel like!

I sometimes stick the core of a haylage bale in for mine - they love diggin in it, chewing it, lying on it etc

They love playing chase with me but I have to be careful now they're getting so big!!

A swede on the end of a rope is fun to swing around for them.

In the summer I froze apple juice in freezer bags and gave them giant ice cubes.

Failing that I let them out to play in the muck heap ... their favourite!!

Oh loosey I have a mental picture of a pig's behind sticking out of a massive pile of compost.  Can you post a picture?

I'll try. They're not quite big enough to slow down just yet. When I let them out you just have to stand up out the way as they have a tendancy not to look where they're going!!
