Pigged Out!
A snippet about our Steynsrus Piglet, Otter
Meet Otter, our Steynsrus piglet – whose not such a piglet anymore! Weighing over 50kg now, he has become a familiar face around the farm. Otter was found in Steynsrus in ill health due to a problem swallowing soft foods. His owner agreed to surrender him for us to take care of him as he needed immediate and constant attention. He has had quite the journey with us and developed a healthy appetite for cat food, which initially kept him alive on his road to recovery. Otter’s life on our farm is filled with stimulation; he is a keen gardener, much to the chagrin of Alistair, our volunteer garden guy. His nudges for love and belly scratches really leave you with an imprint on your hear... Correction, I meant pants. Tickles, our pot belly, is taking her role in adoptive parenting seriously and together they ‘pig-out’ on special treats and fun together.
