Foster Piggies
#43
So Ollie has returned to the rescue. He has come along very well but was clearly lonely for piggy company. He would sit out in the middle of his cage calling to our group on the other side of the room. It was rather sad to see. So he's back with Suzy living next door to a lovely boy who has recently come in. They are making friends through the bars and it is hoped that they will bond up nicely.
This boy was brought in by a lady who had caught him in her garden. He was out all through the Christmas period in the most dire conditions but he visited her garden every day and she fed him. Eventually she was able to catch him and, as a piggy keeper herself, she had intended to keep him. She keeps sows and was not interested in breeding them so he was in a separate cage, but like Ollie, was desperate for company so she brought him to Suzy so he can find a friend and a new home.
She knew where he came from and took him back to his original owners but they were not interested. Apparently the outdoor hutch fell apart during a bad storm we had before Christmas and they just "Left them to it". Apparently the dog got one of them and the babies "Just disappeared"!! This boy had enough instinct left to survive and soon discovered that the neighbour would feed him. It took her 7 weeks to actually catch him and she was very relieved every morning when he showed up again and had survived for another night.
He is quite big and because of the neighbours efforts he is in quite good condition considering how long he was out and the conditions at the time. He has a fuzzy, Teddy coat the same colour as our Annie had and is very personable. If he and Ollie bond up he is going to be called Stan!!

So the foster cage is empty again. There are a few candidates to fill it but they are all still in quarantine at the moment.
