Hi to all pigs and piggie-lovers,
I've only ever had boy pigs until a couple of weeks ago. Agnes was a piggie
'on sale' at a local petstore with one eye crusted shut. I couldn't bring
myself to leave her there so I brought her home. And I am soooo glad that I
did. She has been tame from the get-go and she is a complete snuggler that
has stolen my heart. She is such a gentle little thing and makes the
tiniest wheeks and squeeks during cuddle time. My question is this: Are
sows in general more affectionate? Hamlet and Ophelia (my boy pig with a
girl's name) never really like to be handled except for bathtime.
Paddington lets me cuddle him for short periods of time. I have yet to hit
a threshold with Agnes....she stretches out her front feet and yawns like a
cat and snuggles in for more. She kicks her back legs out and just relaxes
beside me. I end up putting her back because I think I must be reaching her
bladder-holding limit, but I'm sure she'd let me cuddle her longer!
What's everyone else's experience? Is there a difference in affection
between boys and girls? Or did I just luck out with the snuggliest pig
ever?
Eve along with Paddington the leaper, Hamlet and Ophelia the old boys and
Agnes the snugglebug
