We know everyone has their favorites. Now you can get to know each piglet on their own pages.

Kunekune piglets are developing their personalities (or should that be, pigletnalities?)

At just about two weeks old, the Kunekune piglets are running around, playing, learning socialization behaviors, beginning to nibble on straw, and growing so fast that you can almost see it every time they nap. They are starting to show their individual characters, too. Tootsie is affectionate, Skittles is curious, Starburst is independent…and they’re all bright and cute and very much enjoying the process of discovering their world.

… you just got the piglets to pose extra cutely for a photo, and then suddenly a horse is sticking his nose in where it doesn’t belong. 😉

Daisy and Poppy love to be rubbed. In this video they came into the barn hoping for scratches–and look a little bummed that Scott couldn’t stay longer.

Tammy sent us a picture of Buckeye in his new home in Roseville. She picked him up from Hakune Matata Pig Farm on Saturday and he’s settling in just fine!

Maybelline’s piglets are eating solid food now and mimicking their mama in every way, from grazing on the hay to cooling off in the pool. They love people and will even get up from a nap to come over and greet you. They enjoy being scratched, especially behind their ears, and they will flop happily on their sides to make it easier for you to rub their bellies.

It’s amazing to see how quickly they develop. They’re running, playing, nosing around in the straw, and even going outside to use the manure area instead of soiling their bedding.
