Their bed goes inside a cardboard box on its side so that it’s warmer. (It’s VERY cold here at the moment.)
Here are our piglets in their bed ready to go to sleep. Like our pigs of all ages they love sleeping pressed together. They push their bedding with their noses because it’s their instinct: pigs outside push dry grass into heaps for their bedding. (That funny noise in the background is our old cocker spaniel drinking water!😂)
They exercise when they go outside!😂
Our little piglets are so clever! They all quickly pile into their traveling box (one for a cat) and all climb out again outside in the morning and in the house in the evening. 🧡
Our mini piglets are nearly 4 weeks old and at last drinking out of a bowl- even if it’s a bit of a rugby scrum with one on top of the others!😂 #mini piglets drinking
Our spotty miniature piglet girl playing with her new family’s 2 year old son.
Our little spotty girl is happy with her new family. Here she is with her 2 year old human buddy.

Our spotty boy.
20/3/2023 Breakfast continued!
Here’s our black girl.
20/3/2023 Watch our piglets enjoying breakfast - wagging their tails faster than the eye can see; drinking so much that they squeak; and smacking their lips to savour the taste of the last drop!
Here’s our spotty girl.
The babies exercising in their bed!😂
Babies back in the house 1
We have new babies born 26th February 2023. They were too small to leave with their mum and so we are handrearing them. (We milked the mum for over an hour for 10mls of colostrum for them!😂) The first 3 days they had goats colostrum and today goats milk. Here are some video clips of them outside in the day and then back in the house in the bedroom. There are 2 spotty ones (a girl and boy) and 3 black (a girl and 2 boys).
Here’s a lovely clip of a puppy trying to drink on Molly-Eve, Flower and Sam’s previous daughter (so our 2 youngest piglets’ older sister), who is now 6 months old.
