As some of you will know, Little Blue hand reared Lucky, and her sister Mogwai, and she has to be congratulated on the brilliant job she did with them!!
Mogwai has come on really well, and is enormous. We knew Lucky would never be big, as she was miles smaller than her sister......BUT ...I though she would grow a bit a least. If you imagine one of those micro pigs, you will getr an idea of how small she is. She eats well enough, as I watch to make sure Mogwai does not push her out. and she toddles around behind the other pig;
The only positive things are that she has grown hair now, and she has stopped scratching, which she was doing constantly.
It really looks like Lucky is going to stay miniature sized forever
I have to be honest, and say, that a few times I expected to go in the morning and find her dead because she looked so frail, but she is obviously made of sterner stuff!!
One question - how much wormer shall I give her. Obviously a lot less than Mogwai as she is about 4 times bigger.
When the pigs run off down the field, I can quite easily pick Lucky up to carry her back. Certainly could not carry Mogwai anywhere!!!!
