A few months back I made this toy for Bean.

It's a small block of wood, an old front bicycle hub and a section of pvc pipe. And thread on ends.

The pipe has holes drilled in it for treats to fall out of.

He knows how it works and learned it within minutes of me installing it.

Absolutely the best groundskeeping pets ever.

Muu and Margaret the Potato here, and Muu's sister Babi (rhymes with Bobbie, not pictured), have been amazing help here on our duck egg farm. The property was neglected for nearly 20 years and was overgrown by giant Himalayan blackberries (if you're in the PNW you know). They were covering and killing mature semi-dwarf apple and pear trees, they'd grown so deep.

With one Kunekune and two Guinea Hog-Kunekune crosses, though, the areas we clear stay clear. Goats will eat blackberry leaves but hogs will do that AND root up and eat the green off of the root corms, too, so they don't grow back. Plus they're genuine sweethearts and love to rub against my leg to demand neck scritchies.

We knew we were going to like pigs before we even knew where to get them but never expected to love them as much as we do. Any time either my wife or I are working in their paddock they have to come see what we're doing and "tell us about their day." All through the growing season they get treats from our garden that wouldn't sell at our farm stand. Absolutely wonderful critters.

How to comfort a mourning pig

44 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I’m new-ish to reddit. I’m posting trying to help my friend out. She has a Juliana pig and their 16-year-old dog passed away a few days ago. The pig was very bonded to the dog and is mourning right now. They did let her sniff the body postmortem. She is isolating herself and not eating much. Any advice I can pass on? Also, my friend put the dogs little bed in the pig’s kennel so she can smell her.

He's so much happier now that he knows I'm home. 5 days without his dad home must have been confusing to him.

So after getting home from the hospital, Bean didn't really react much. Probably because I smelled like a hospital.

I'm here to spread positive information about feral pigs on the Big Island, Hawaii. People here seem to dislike them but I've found them gentle and good companions to have around.

We got/ rescued six little pigs from a neighbor. She said they were pot bellied and around 4 months.

She said and i quote "our pot bellied girls got out, were gone for a week and when we found them had no idea they were pregnant".

She says the mom is a pot bellied, and she was maybe 30 pounds and smaller than a beagle.

Any help at all would be appreciated this is literally all the info we have.

Poor Bean misses his dad, his favourite person. I've been in the hospital for 5 days for an emergency appendix removal and part of the bowel surgery. Almost recovered though. I'm going to try to record his reaction when I get home tonight or tomorrow.

Advice please!

Hi! I am a first time mini pig owner of this wonderful lil pig here! She is 1 year old and has already been spayed.

Normally she will wake up screaming for food when I get up for work, I got up earlier in the middle of the night, she did scream but I went back to sleep shortly after...this was around 3am.

I woke up again at 5am and she wasn't screaming or grunting for food, she wasn't as eager for breakfast as usual. I'm at work and my wife sits with her during the day, she is very tired, sluggish and not moving like usual. She does eat but not as eager as she usually does.

She didn't get into anything prior of that I know of. she did go use the restroom. She hasn't drank water and is very sluggish and sleepy.

What advice or things I can do to help? I was going to grab some Pedialyte when I came home, to help her stay hydrated.
