Gave my three pigs a lovely bath today and put them out in the lawn run in the sunshine - the water was soooo dirty! Stinky pigs Grin

@amelietaylor, I have tried mint and they definitely liked it. That said, they are such greedy piggies anything in food-form excites them! Their absolute favourite is carrot tops!

Oh that's interesting. All of mine have been 'good focussed & noisy' but I'm not sure they come in any other design!!🤣

My childhood ones were the ones that went completely beserk over mint!!

Give them an extra cuddle from me 😊

This was their dinner tonight - they eat better than we do! 😂 They absolute love red pepper too.

I will pass on your cuddles! 😘

That is a seriously impressive supper there Novia Grin

Mine loved mint too but their real favourite was curled parsley .

Lambs lettuce was ignored .No idea why , I used to buy the mixed bags of baby spinach, watercress and lambs lettuce - they could tell Grin

@70isaLimitNotaTarget - mine are also partial to a bit of parsley! And they quite like kale too (little weirdos!) 😂

Spotty decided to take a little nap in the doorway of her house, so thought I'd share her cute little napping chicken feet with you!

Hebe, Teasel and Sorrel here. Would have gone in their run today but very windy and chilly, so cozy in their shed instead. I too find they're very tired after being out grazing all day.

Ahh love the little chicken legs Grin She's Hiding In Plain Sight

And how nicely your pigs are sitting round the table miss , I bet 20 seconds after this photo their delicious leaves were strewn all over Grin

@missmouse101 - what a civilised gathering of piggies! 😂

Mine still have ringworm (6 weeks of treatment so far!) so we have 2 more weeks of medication. I'm desperate for them to be clear so I can move them to a new bigger run. But not worth it yet as I have to disinfect everything every 3 days and I'll need to chuck away all the wooden stuff at the end...

Not little chicken feet , more like one of those gnarled old pheasants hung up to go gamey Grin

Note the state of his paws - those are not neglect status claws , that is half a garden in there .

@70isaLimitNotaTarget - ahh! That gorgeous puggy-butt! 😂 How lovely he is comfortable enough to just chill with you. My girls are still too nervous to really enjoy it (unless they are being fed of course!) They are only 3-4 months old though, so hoping they warm up.

The Piggies got a chance to roam today...!
