Anneli,

Yes, broken piggy incisors will grow back. Most bar chewers do this without
any ill effect but, some years ago, I had a lovely boar called Rowan, who
was an inveterate bar chewer. He was forever breaking a front tooth. I
checked for any splintered bits in his mouth and, if he had a rough edge to
the break, I trimmed it neatly. For a few days, I grated his favourite
carrot and cut other veggies up small. He was still able to eat his grass,
hay and dried food. Within about a week, his teeth were back to
normal...until the next time.

Hopefully Barney will do the same.

Those little piggies up for adoption are gorgeous. I can't believe that
they will be there for very long before someone takes them home. Don't
tempt me to drive to Wood Green. We are just about full here ( unless a
little waif comes knocking at the door. )

Penny and the Piggyfriends.
