We are now approaching week six, although I have to admit I am starting to lose track of time! Dumbella and her sisters have really grown. Although Pokey is still feeding them, they are now very interested in solid food, especially if I bring down extra little treats!
The piglets are very playful and rush around the pigsty like loonies. They love it when we put in fresh straw and will spend ages throwing it around, using their snouts, and bury themselves in it. It is very sweet to watch.
Another favourite past time is chewing welly boots! As soon as I go in with them they will head straight for the wellies and as mine have a soft top to them, I get the occasional nibble to the leg! That is all good and well, but in a few weeks’ time that nibble will hurt!
Make sure you watch the video and spot how intelligent Dumbella has become!
