Piiiiiiiiig! OMG!

Today we went to the Morris Stampede, which is a bit of a low-rent, small town thing, with chuck wagon races and rides and a petting zoo, etc. It turns out I know the lady running the petting zoo, I'd bought a goat from her a few years back. Anyhoo, at the zoo there was this CUUUUUTE little polka-dot pot bellied pig running around, and I was IN LOVE with it.

I told her that it was so cute that I almost ate it, and she said IT WAS FOR SALE. omg. Never tell me that a cute animal is available for me to take home and smother with lurve.

Needless to say, I now own the CUTEST PIG IN THE UNIVERSE. He has polka dots!

I'll post more pics soon.

This is him bumping noses with my bunny Chelsea. I named him MORRIS.

If Morris is full grown and Chelsea is a normal sized rabbit, oh my. Tiny.
Does Chelsea like him?
He is cute for a pig. You don't have to fix boars do you, to prevent aggressive tendencies?

Ha, no. Morris is still a baby. From everything I've heard, Micro pigs (http://www.valleyblossoms.com/) are an expensive line of bullshit.

The bunny is a regular sized Netherland Dwarf, so Morris is crazy small right now, but should end up around 30ish lbs, which is pretty damn small for a pig, but still bigger than the weenie little thing that he is now.

As for fixing, yes, I'll be doing that soon. I don't know how aggressive they get, but the un-nuetuered ones SMELL! From everything I've heard, it's the females that get grumpy when they mature.
