Very ingenious Trev  :thumbsup:
Cute wee OSBs - surprised mum let you pick them up tho - my OH's were ready to kill me if I went anywhere near theirs for the first month or so  :o
Have you got a heat lamp over it?  Just it's hard to work-out from the angle of the piccy.

Piglets are ridiculously cute anyway, but those two are especially gorgeous  :love:

Clever Trevor  :thumbsup:  (sorry  :roflanim:  - couldn't resist )
Glad you've got a placid OSB mum -  IMPE they turn into she-devils when they've got wee ones  :o
