The British Kunekune Pig Society

I know it is unlikely but does anyone have a Mexican Hat style pig feeder with section dividers intact for a reasonable price (upto £120).
It would be ideal for our two Kunes - Wilson and Dolly. He is a castrated male and pushes her our of the current trough.

I've been waiting to hear how things were going with Jake (amazed he was in NZ for one thing). Great to see he enjoyed the smoothie and it reunited with his sty mates. You are right this site is amazingly useful and hosted by really caring, knowledgable and friendly pig keepers. Keep us informed abo...

Sorry no experience of this problem but good luck with the latest diagnosis. Poor old boy he sounds thoroughly miserable! It must be sore iof he can't even take his beloved banana

Can we feed Kunes dried fruit like raisins? It is a very easy alternative to fresh in winter. Two for one at local health shop prompted the query.

Thanks Simon. Yes they were both orphans so bottle fed. Life will be a lot easier now.

Thanks to all involved in the additional newsletter. I received it yesterday and unusually for me, I read it from cover to cover and found it hugely interesting. It is great to be part of such an active society.
Many thanks

It's now a bit of a pain as they are due to go into our orchard which is away from the greenhouse kettl...

They are now 9 weeks old and she has stopped sucking the ear and Wilson's ear is intact. Thanks again

Many thanks Simon. Will do and hugely reassured.

Hi All I picked up my two Kune piglets last Thursday. The small gilt (6 week old she has been bottle fed by the breeder after mum died 24 hours after the piglets were born) constantly sucks on the ear of her slightly larger brother- particularly at feeding time. She is so avid at suckling the ear th...

Hi Simon
I am am collecting my two gorgeous piglets (castrated boar and gilt) from a breeder in Derbyshire registered with the KK soc. mine will be pets and we pick them up on Thursday- can't wait!!!

Hi Simon
We are also in Derbyshire and pick up our first Kunes (one gilt and one castrated male) next Thursday aged 6 weeks. Our breeder is in Chinley Derbyshire so would be good for you I guess.

I pick my first ever Kunes next Thurday and I found this thread really useful as an early warning about vaccinations etc. We are collecting a gilt and castrated male and we are keeping them in the garden for a couple of months as they are 6 weeks old and tiny (they lost Mum 24 hours after they were ...
