I'm getting annoyed with this forum.

People post these gorgeous piggies, huge gardens, adorable cages and runs, and the cuteness is too much, I'm off!

...

Well, I'm back. May I say how jealous I am of your garden :D our front garden is surrounded by gravel (ouch) with gates they could fit through (nope) so they're in the back garden in a run. Well, the back garden is huge, and it has an area at the back with bridges and whatnot, so basically blocking it all off would be a massive hassle. I'd like to get another run and join it on, it's sort of designed so you can have as many as you like. Maybe I'll fill the garden and they can really take over our property:D
 
I just love this thread. A whole garden to run about in ... I am seriously considering ways in which I can fence off a large part of our (small) garden for the wabbits (four) and guinea pigs (two).

It is great to see a group of sows and a boar happily grazing. I love all the tunnels and bridges that they have.
 
Don't let the picture fool you, it has a few bald spots from Ronnie peeing all over it! :))
 
They don't live together, just have supervised interaction whenever dandelions are on offer. ;) That said, my 2 rabbits are very protective of the pigs and keep cats out of the garden when the pigs are on the lawn. ;)
 
I've made sure the kitten next door can't get in the shed when we're not around. I've rigged up a mesh over the door to keep it out. ;)

Alfie is going to have to be renamed to Harry (Houdini)! Now that winter is upon us with strong winds and heavy rain, every opportunity he can get, he's out of the shed and on the lawn, to stop him, I put the cat flap down so he couldn't get out, the crafty little sod sits by the cat flap, and as one of the rabbits pushes the flap up to get out, he pushes past them and out onto the garden! I don't want him getting a chill as he's getting on a bit now, you'd think he would take it easy with his ladeez and have a quiet life. For the last hour, he's been giving me stink eye as I've put paid to his galavanting! :)) Ladies and gents, I give you the pig wall of Cumbria, Berlin has got nothing on my shed!

The pigs can't get out, but the buns can just hop over it and its easy for us hoomans to step over. :tu:
 
I caught him today pushing the chube against the barrier to hop on it to get over, the chube has now been removed!
 
Topic title amended as the ladeez are on their own, Alfie - gone but not forgotten. :(
 
These piggies are sent to try us! MrsHogg went out to feed them this morning. Miss Sadie was lying deadly still, not moving - appearing to be in her forever sleep! MrsHogg was heartbroken! :( She picked her up and she was limp, cue tears from MrsHogg! She carefully kissed her face and put her inside her dressing gown on her skin, rocking and crying, next moment there was a smacking of lips and a big yawn, followed by a bite on the boobie as if to say, "Hey! thanks for waking me up!" She was in such a deep sleep, a sign of a happy content secure piggy if she can fall that deeply asleep! :))
 
Stanley is now in his new home, just letting him settle into his new surroundings before introducing the ladeez. He is massive! A lot bigger than the ladeez! MrsHogg is in love with him already! He is already wearing her lipstick! Pictures to follow. ;)
