They escaped yesterday evening and we couldn't find hide nor hair of them. They busted through a fence. Today we get a call to say one of them has been found chasing cars on the main highway about 2 km away. It was caught and has returned and placed in what seems like solitary confinement after having been with so many family members and now alone. We're hoping her grunts will attract the other wee one (the brown one) and we'll find it here tomorrow morning. It was enormously hot for Tassie today. 33 degrees. So should be becoming more active now it's cooled down.<br /><br />Some of my home cooked biscuits full of seeds and nuts passed through 'the bars' seems to have appeased this wee one who's now fast asleep after what must have been a fairly busy night and day.<br /><br />Pig Tip No.1. Chook wire is called chook wire because otherwise it would be called pig and chook wire. Sheep wire is also, likewise singularly named.Linda Cockburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06569992095710837103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289349697796382040.post-5192649031208201852010-11-22T12:12:20.960-08:002010-11-22T12:12:20.960-08:00No!

I bet that when the time comes they taste amazing.MSadventurerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06626862677563029299noreply@blogger.com
