The oinks are back! =0

Yup, and the rabbits, too.
Caught my two runaway rabbits the other day for the winter. Could of left them out until the end of fall, but meh. Didn't buy or get new rabbits, though! Those two should be good enough for meat production unless the doe ends up a horrible mom. =/ We'll see.

Then I ended up picking up two mini potbelly pigs, 4mo old. Black/white is the male, pink is the girl. Tossed up some scrap wire to my round pen and they're living in there for now. I think, 50ft diameter circle or so. Hopefully, they'll give us some nice bacon and porkchops in the future!


Me: Smile for the camera!
Piggies: Nom nom nom
Rabbits: No! Grrrr! *stink-eye*

They don't seem to recognize fruits and veggies as food yet, even though the previous owner said they got lots of other foods and scraps.

Mixed salvinia in with their pellets. Name ideas for these two?

Might as well name them. Who could eat anything as cute as they are?

Dad had a pig called Lester D. Pester. Thought he was a dog laying on the back porch and waiting for a tummy scratch. Couldn't eat Lester either. Come butchering time, Grandpa got all the tools together and called Lester. Lester ran straight to him and rolled over for a scratch. Grandpa traded the neighbor for a pig or he'd never been able to butcher for the fall.

Why name them ? They look like they are ready for the skillet NOW !

They're breeding stock, I don't eat breeding stock.
My last two were named Porker and Porkette.

Haven't I heard recently that salvia is a semi-psychedelic? There are some communities trying to ban that family of plants because there is an element in the community that may abuse their use. Way to have happy pigs.

No, Salvinia. It's a floating pond plant.
