Sidney

Mixed -- DOB 14/1/23 approx -- Boar -- Short hair

Needs: a boar friend and a new home :)

​

Sidney arrived as one of a pair in a neglect case and was in a bad way. Due to his neglect we would like to keep his history private - if you are interested in adopting him then we would of course fill you in.

​

Sidney is a confident boy who loves a good stroke, even in his enclosure! He had taken well to the boar we paired him with, Tweed, and they enjoyed sharing a hay cookie together. Unfortunately we lost Tweed unexpectedly and Sidney is now alone again. He is a big boy and loves to cuddle with you and watch TV, but he doesn't like green pepper.

​

He is currently unavailable whilst we sort out the sore feet he arrived with.

Flora

Crested -- DOB 14/3/24 approx -- Sow -- Short hair

Needs: a sow friend or a neutered boar friend

Flora arrived as one of a pair in a neglect case and was in a very bad way. Due to her neglect we would like to keep her history private - if you are interested in adopting her then we would of course fill you in.

She is currently on pregnancy watch and has received medical attention after arriving in our care on 13/7/24. She was an incredibly shut down girl, which was heartbreaking to see and we were very concerned.

 

She has begun to come out of her shell and has evening zoomies now that she can walk without pain! She enjoys munching on her carrot cottage and loves snoozing in fleecy beds, but is still very, very nervous. Her pregnancy watch ends 21/9/24.

Peanut

Mixed -- DOB 29/7/23 approx -- Boar -- Short hair​

Peanut was absolutely adored by his owner and has been very well cared for. He is a confident lad and loves a cuddle. His current favourite activity is biting his log roll toy. He has a very high pitched wheek when he hears the fridge open!

​

We collected Peanut when he became ill and his heartbroken owner was struggling to afford the veterinary care he needed. We took Peanut to see the vet the evening of his collected and he has an upper respiratory tract infection. He has finished his course of antibiotics and anti-inflammatories and his breathing is all better!​

Harris

Mixed -- DOB 1/10/23 approx -- Boar -- Short hair

Needs: a boar friend, or happy to live next to a neighbour

​Harris was originally paired with Tweed, but they had to be separated due to excess dominance. Harris was the more submissive piggy! He is a cheeky chappy who is now much more confident than when he first arrived. He arrived on 11/5/24 as part of the same group as Tweed.

​

Harris was covered in bite wounds from the other boys, the worst of which was the one on his lip. The tissue had become necrotic, and finally dropped off, thankfully revealing healthy tissue underneath, albeit a big chunk of his lip is now missing! The wounds have now healed!

 

He was thin (although he weighed 1015g, he was bony for his large frame), riddled with lice and walked in a very 'bandy', stiff manner due to a poor diet and subsequent scurvy. His poor little paws were incredibly red and sore and his nails were very long – after a trim and some treatment they are looking much better! He was sneezing and his nose was running on arrival, but on settling in to some clean, dry bedding this has stopped.

​

He enjoys celery, pepper, cucumber and romaine lettuce and will eat grass, although it isn't his favourite (he likes dandelions best). He won't yet let you stroke him in his cage and he is quick to catch, but once you are holding him he often settles down for a cuddle and will even have a little nap :) His favourite activity is headbutting his hideys where he wants them or just plain flipping them over!

Orlando and Libby

Mixed -- DOB 26/2/22 approx -- Boar -- Short hair

Mixed -- DOB 3/1/22 approx -- Sow -- Short hair

​

Poor Lando was dumped by the local canal in an isolated spot along with some rubbish and children's toys. Thrown away like trash. He was spotted around the 21st April but couldn't be caught. 

After searching just about every inch of the area multiple times over the next few days with lots of help, unfortunately he seemed to have disappeared.

Fast forward 2 weeks and, whilst photographing the birds at a local wildlife centre I happened to look across the river to where he was last seen. We had left a box with hay and some water for him, and I zoomed in to have a look, just in case. Up popped Lando's head from by his box!!

Once home, he was thin, tired, dehydrated, cold and terrified.

He took a while to come out of his shell and is still a bit of a nervous boy, but he is quite bold and is now more than a normal weight for his age and size! He doesn't like parsley or pepper (fussy for a half starved stray!) but loves a big pile of hay and his nuggets.

He gets very excited at sweeping out time and will wheek and popcorn crazily with happiness. He knows the sound of the fridge, however quietly you try to open it, and is a curious and inquisitive little fellow.

He's quite quick to catch but once you have him on your lap he is happy to sit for a while with you. He likes to rest under your chin, but as he is so curious he also likes to walk about on you and explore. When he is having cuddles, he doesn't stop chatting to you!

He was originally bonded with Rufus, but sadly as Rufus reached maturity the boys fell out and had to be separated.

Lando was castrated on 18/11/22.

​

Lovely Princess Libby was surrendered as sadly her sister had to be put to sleep and her family didn't want Libby to become lonely. She is a very... voluptuous girl and is definitely in need of a diet! Her nails were very long and curled. She is a lovely sweet girl, not fazed by anything. She will sit on you for hours, licking away at your face and hands. She is definitely in charge of the pair, but they love each other very much and get on amazingly well.
