grub's up!

for more piggies' bumbum detail please view large.

Did you know that when pigs are relaxed their curly tails often hang straight, but when they start moving around they usually curl up again? If they don't then the pig might not be feeling very well, so you need to keep a close eye on it.

No? Well I didn't know that either until we went on a pig keeping course before getting ours.

I thought that these four hairy bums might be OK for this week's 'hair' theme.

[Tremerryn]

Haha, I didn't know that - a great factoid that I shall now use. Perfect shot for the hair theme! :)

[Maggiemae]

One day I might be able to impart that great fact! This is a cute photo but aren't you a bit behind?

[Jan Hall]

@maggiemae haha, very good Maggiemae!!

[Paul "Snapchap" Everest]

Looks like the one on the left is getting stressed out then! Great fact, terrific shot.

[Beryl Lloyd]

A bum shot but not a bum shot --if you know what I mean !! and a great interesting bit of info --I shall be going around looking at the pig's tail end from now on !! Super shot

[Jan Hall]

Well spotted! If you look again Paul, that one is not actually eating out of the trough which will only comfortably fit three, so maybe it is a bit stressed @steampowered

[☠northy]

[Anne Mary]
