Pigs #19 - Update

The Tymawr Two are still enjoying life in the Alpaca shed, full of beans and with great appetites.  I'm going to keep them in for 2 more weeks until they have grown a bit more and follow the bucket a bit more reliably.  They're getting a bit braver and more used to me, and are happy to eat their food next to me (if I'm safely the other side of the gate!), but are still far from friendly!

The Tymawr Two!
You may be able to get a sense for it in this photo, but a rule in pig keeping seems to be 'Lop Ears' = 'well behaved pigs' and 'Prick Ears' = 'naughty pigs'.  I think in future I will be exclusively keeping lop eared pigs!
