« on: June 24, 2009, 01:03:51 pm »
it might be a daft question but i have found some small red insects / bugs in the pigs water trough, can anybody tell me what they are? the water trough is emptied weekly & topped up with fresh water daily.

Sounds like Red Spider Mite - Google it and have a look. Shouldn't be a problem to pigs but they will infest birds.
