Yesterday, in all the rain, and high wind, I saw a Readigrass big plastic sack coming down the field.  It seemed to be rolling, no blowing.  As it neared the bottom of the hill, I went to look.  Picked it up, and it weighed a ton.  Opened it, and there was Lucky pig!!
Was she playing roley poley down the hill, and wanted to keep clean?  Whatever, it took me ages to get her out of the sack, she kicked a right fuss up and wanted to stay in  (there again it was raining hard!)
Maybe she was using it as a makeshift brolly?
Her and Mogwai do very strange things ....maybe its with them living with Little Blue, and being house piglets

They do love sacks; if I want to give Meg-pig some entertainment, all I have to do is chuck a sack stuffed with straw into her ark.  Hours of fun!

None of mine have ever used one as a wetsuit, though!

  how gorgeous. I'd love to give mine stuff to play with but they are on electric wire and things are pretty limited.  We have a game of foot now and then:)

Ditto the fowgill pigs just love trashing any kind of sack filled with straw and i have one pig who has a thing for bath towels which she loves to rip to shreds (she's a show pig hence being bathed!)

Lucky and Mogwai are very good at climbing - like little monkeys.  Will try and get a photo of the little terrors, but they are hard to catch standing still - always on the go.

  Fab story!

I love the pigs too - Since hubs fitted a bite drinker in Hugh Grunt's pen we've witnessed him using it to wash his nostrils out!  Thought hubs was winding me up until I saw it with my own eyes

    Love this story! We had a plastic sack fly into our pig pen yesterday but it was just ripped to shreds, no roley poley. Think I will try out the stack of straw, sounds fun. I got one of the snack a balls but it gets stuck against the electric fence. My big pig hooked her nose under my legs this morning (we were having a cuddle) and threw me clean off the tank I was sitting on, straight into the mud. Payback for the snack a ball no doubt!

I love the sound of the straw-filled sack.  Our poor (13 week old) piggums are knee-deep (or higher in places) in gloopy mud outside on their hillside and getting bored, bored, bored of the wetness and rain.  There's some tetchiness among them and the boys can be a bit sharp with each other for next to nothing, so a game for inside the ark sounds perfect 


Just need to check that the plastic sacks (Farmgate) don't pose any risk to the piglets as far as anyone is aware?  We had a cat that had a nasty encounter with a Tesco bag (neck and one foreleg caught in handle and unable to escape) which caused extreme distress and trauma over a prolonged period as she ran off and we couldn't a) catch her and then b) find her.
