Just how hard their little noses are. Its like a hard piece of rubber. When you see the amount of digging a pig can dowith their noses I shouldn't be surprised at all I guess.

Ah well, just one of lifes observations

Just wait til they're around 5 months old and trying to lift the field gate off it's hinges while you're standing on it (as I was

) then you'll see just exactly how tough and strong their snouts are

I'm so glad you're enjoying your piggies Sally

Karen,
Thats one thing OH has pre-empted. The gate has been put on with one hinge upwards and one downwards.

Yes - their noses are like elephant's trunks. When thy are sniffling and nosing you can tell they are getting so much more information than just the smell of things......
