Hi all, I very recently got 2 baby brother piggies names rocket and pickles.
I just would like the best advice so I know I’m looking after them properly. I’m googling every day and watching you tube videos (the pigs are actually my daughter leah’s but you know, I’d rather be clued up myself!)
So far I’ve seen pickles (the bushy one) try to establish dominance by what I can only assume is humping I’ve read is perfectly normal but rather amusing to watch. Double checked that they are both boys, don’t fancy surprise babies
