Whhheeeehheeee i am having such fun!!

Got our two Berkshire weaners yesterday...i just cant take my eyes of them. They are so comical and full of beans..... and the horses havent even noticed that they are here. Del and Rodney dont seem to be squealers!!! Even when we carried them to their new pen.

They are already throwing turf around like a couple of veterans, and have dicovered the delights of a good scratch behind the ears!! going to get a stiff scrubbing brush for them methinks!!

They dont seem to like the sow and Weaner cubes, so i have soaked them - i suppose that is OK??

They are gorgeous.

Little crackers! Or should it be little cracklings?

[scotelf]

They are lovely, congratulations! 

[oaklandspigs]

no problems is soaking the cubes, but may well be that they have a feast of grass and vegetation, and your cubes are boring at the moment!

They look fab - enjoy

and if they still dont eat the cubes, try mash instead (its probably cheaaper too!) ours prefer it, and it last alot longer.

they are lovely

Lovely boys congrats!

Aaaaah, they soooo sweet!
Give it another few months and they'll be as big as that trough!

Mix the feed with something sweet if you're worried they're not eating enough. Is it the same feed they were fed before you picked them up?

Oooh they are gorgeous .....  could mix the damp feed with fruit and veg to encourage them.

Hehee!! 
they are rolling over for tummy scratches, and its only day 2!!! I really thought it would take a week or so to get them used to me! they have me well trained already....
 i have put a tree stump in for them to scratch against, too.
Del is by far the more precosious,and is always trying to taste my wellies....but Rodney, being the studious type, hung back, worked things out and was the first to present his tummy for a scratch!! Clever boy.

I had a Rodney and Del Boy last year - called that because they were Trotters! This year I have Delia and Nigella.
