The British Kunekune Pig Society

Hi Rushbury and Wendy Thanks for your replies :) I am considering trying to put her in pig again at some point, but not so sure anymore due to her teats (she has 8 and 1 blind one) so if she had more than 8 I would have to bottle feed (which I really dont want to do, last one was SUCH hard work and ...

Hi There :) Just over a year ago I put two gilts to a boar, both together. The one got pregnant just fine and produced a lovely litter, the other did not get pregnant and as she was not a nice pig anyway so I contacted the breeder and she came to pick her up for sausages and told me to come and pick...

Hi There,

Just wandering, two of my pigs dont have the green ear tags, the one broke and the other got lost

Thanks alot

I think due to all the human contact she had, she is looking forwards to going to a farm to live with her little sister in two weeks time

Thanks everyone for your suggestions!! :) Just after I posted this, she stopped breathing completely and we tried and tried to get her to come around and she finally lost her heart beat! my brother ran and got a bottle of brandy and spooned it into her, she jumped alive straight away!! Put her back ...
