Well yesterday morning, Bijou the werewolf skinny, finally gave birth to 4 beautiful little skinny pigs, 2 red/white, 1 himalayan and 1 black/white. Mum is doing great and babis seem to be thriving too.
Last Sunday was the first show of the year for me and the herd, Fudge did very well and the judge had some lovely comments about all 4 piggies who were entered.
Maple's babies are doing very well, are very big for 2 weeks old and she is a fantastic mum, think all three are going to be staying :) Bijou is extremely large now, bless her little fuzz legs. There seems to be at least three little wrigglers in there, can't wait to meet them. Her tummy is literally bouncing and you can hear the babies teeth grinding hehe I visited Susan at Rexetra yesterday and couldn't help coming home with three of her beautiful baby rexes. So new additions to the herd are Rexcetra Lewis, silver agouti, Rexcetra Lottie, silver agouti/white and Rexcetra Coca Cola, golden agouti/gold. All stunning little piggies and seem to have settled in well :) looking forward to them going to their first show, think I might anohter At 6.30 this morning I came downstairs to discover 3 freshly born healthy babies, with a very tired looking mum. Maple Syrup is the proud mum of 1 silver agouti boar, 1 golden agouti boar and one solid black sow. Now I've just got to figure out some names :)
Another happy piece of news, Bijou our werewolf skinny pig is definitely pregnant and can now feel babies wriggling, so only about 4 weeks to go now :) very exciting to see whether they turn out hairy or skinny hehe First show of the season next week with DNCC at Crook. Thunder, Klaus, Luanne and Fudge will all be attending |
