Introducing.......

Mama Doe
A new arrival at the Page household!

Little Treacle is an ex breeding sow that I picked up today, she is two years old and just :love:

Mustn't get too attached to her (which is why her name is staying Treacle for the time being) until she is bonded with the trio......as I have an arrangement where she is here on a trial here as she can be bossy with other sows, and if it doesn't work out she will be going back and found a different retirement home.

She has been very quiet today, and has had a long sleep in the fleecy bed (probably the first time her feet have ever touched fleece, she was bed on woodshavings :() and has come out for a nibble of grass and a bit of hawthorn stick. No hay eating yet but fingers crossed. No sound out of her either, I think she is being deafened by the trio at the moment who are demanding their veggies as I type this!!!

Anyway - pics!

Awww she's gorgeous hope it worksout :love:

PS Thankyou for giving me the link for the runaround I rang them an ordered one the sizei needed :D
 
Couple more pics I took today. I put her in the trio's cage while they were out in the run to get them used to each other's smells before I attempt bonding. She started tooth chattering as a reaction to the other's smells, so not very promising start :(
