Our Micro Pigs in the UK
Our micro pigs have gone to some fantastic new homes throughout the United Kingdom - from as far and wide as Dundee, Pembrokeshire, Southampton, Kent, Essex, London , Cheshire, Manchester, Liverpool, Devon, Exeter, Leicester, Nottingham, Birmingham and Leeds.
We proud to say that our pigs have gone to some lovely homes from specialist care centre's, play groups to family homes - below we provide you with some of these and the comments received.
Heywood, Lancashire
A new centre providing services to adults with learning disabilities is one of the destinations for some of our micro pigs. The pigs have gone down really well with everyone and proving to be a great addition at the centre.
"Daisy and Primrose are doing very well. Primrose is very soft and constantly rolls over for her belly to be tickled, Daisy is not as affectionate but we are working on her. We love them very much, and are now trying to teach them tricks".
"The girls are fine, but very spoilt - they are real characters. We can hand feed them now although they are slightly skittish when we stroke them, but they are getting better. We give them lots of kisses and rub noses with them. They absolutely love strawberries which we give them as a treat. We are now trying to get them to follow us ...primrose can be bribed with food whilst Daisy likes to run off".
Winchester, Southampton
Our pigs are just one of the animal attractions at a centre specialising in high quality person centred care for young people with early onset dementia and older people who are living with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia or mental illness.
"It was good to meet you today, thank you for delivering our piggies they are gorgeous".
Pembrokeshire
As part of a residential care and development centre for young adults recognised as being on the autistic spectrum. Individuals are encouraged to grow, learn, and develop new skills and abilities. Our pigs are part of this great set up along side a number of other animals.
"The pigs are absolutely fantastic, we all love them, will be in touch when we are ready for some more".
Aberystwyth, Ceredigion
"Just thought I would drop you a note to let you know how Thelma and Louise are progressing. They are quite the little characters - very greedy - and have settled in very well. They have fun with a snack ball during the day and play with our border collie although i'm not sure he knows what to make of them. They also love their wallow, especially with the weather we have been having up here. We are really pleased with them and they make a great addition to the smallholding".
Exeter, Devon
(Playgroup)
"Well Bertie has settled so well. He has learnt lots of tricks such as tap the reception desk bell for a raisin and apple under the coconut shells, he messes outside or on his tray at night. He comes when called and not always gets a treat but still comes to me. He also likes to close the back door when he has a snooze by my aga - obviously not keen on a draft. He has also met my chickens which was very funny and appeared in the local newspapers pets corner too".
Birmingham, Midlands
"Pippa is settling in an absolute treat. She is very adventurous and loves exploring her surroundings. We are really happy with her and she seems happy with us. Thanks for all your help and support, I knew we made the right choice with our breeder".

"Percy is doing great, he is still a bit nervous and only likes to come to you not the other way around but he still gets his fuss. It has been great for Pippa".
Herne Bay, Kent
"Just to let you know the pigs are great and have settled really well, they are now the dogs best friend - letting us stroke them, although the squealing when I try to pick them up is awful ha,ha".
Talgarth, Powys
"Everything is great. They're eating from our hands and just started to let us stroke them. They love apples and are being spoilt rotten. Thanks very much for all your help".
"Update on the pigs. Just to say they have settled in really well and are being spoilt rotten. They are very funny, and affectionate and love to be scratched and tickled. Thank you again".

"The piglets are doing great if a little shaken after a long drive home. They're enjoying their new house and pen and have had lots of company to help settle them in. Thanks again".
Sommerset, Bristol
(Playgroup)
"Luna is doing great. When she first came she was very shy but by the next afternoon she was fine. She had a bath which she loved! She loves running around in our chicken pen (trying to pinch their food :) ) We all love our cuddly Luna. All the children that I look after love her also. She is still timid at times but it's still early days. Thank you for our piglet :) ".

"Thank you so much for my little George he is fab. I am so pleased with him, he is really settled now and he is like my little shadow. He is great with the kids, they chase each other round the pen enjoying each other's company and it is really sweet. George is like the little Lord around the place, even my mum is acting like she has a new grandson lol. I am just over the moon with him, Im very pleased with the way you dealt with everything and helped me; It's very much appreciated. Thank you very much".
Hull, Kingston-upon-Hull
"Thank you for everything, everybody is delighted with our little micro pig, you don't have to worry he has come to a fantastic home and will be given lots of love and attention".
Ammanford, Camarthenshire
"Here's an updated picture of Charlie, with our boys Shay and Buddie. He is dearly loved, how could we not; he is such a character, he just like the dogs sits for his food and will not start until I say to. And despite having his own house and pen outside, we do like to allow him in too, and he will come lie on the sofa and have a sleep with me and the two dogs. Hope all is well with you and your pigs".
Bradford, West Yorkshire
"Hi just to let you know that Bert is settling in very well, doesn't like sleeping on his own bed so gets up on couch to snuggle in to us. The kids absolutely love him".
