We've had them years. Didn't know they can't have mushrooms.

One has died and the other looks like it will. It's been to the vet who says they can't do anything. Just to wait and see.

I'm so stupid

Them still seem to be settling in well. Older piggy hasn't been sharing her igloo in the hutch so we've bought a second one and the two younger ones are using that. They've been named Pippin and Snowball.

Aaah hello Pippin and Snowball (one of my pigs as a child was called Snowball, home grown one - accidental litter )

The older one might well want her 'own' space, nothing wrong with that. Sows can be a bit territorial.
(I have all this to look forward to again, we've had years of boars. Now two sows, I shall have to counsel GP3 when their hormones let fly ) Grin

Ours have a haybox, a Hop Inn tunnel (three openings, it's Y shaped) a wicker hedgehog house, a trug and a box)

The sows usually share the trug, GP3 likes the tunnel. There are plenty of droppings in the haybox so I think they all sleep there.

He was like Manny from Ice Age today, coralling them round for breakfast Grin

We've been in holiday and whilst away the grass has grown. Tiny mushrooms have popped up all over the lawn. DH says its all the extra nutrients provided by gp droppings. Can I let gps on the lawn with them?

I would remove the mushrooms to be safe.

millimat most likely toadstools on grass?
Whip them out and be aware of buttercups (that seem to be covering our blardy lawn) and daisies.

D'you use any weedkillers? I never can trust what's safe.

I send DH out to dig things up and try to artfully arrange the run with their trugs over any rogue bits.

They're tiny so pulling them out will be a tricky job, but having seen this I think I'll have to try! No daisies or buttercups phew - that would be too much like a garden that gets looked after!
