Our beloved Brillo has developed some sort of neuro-motor symptoms and for the past 2 months has been suffering badly from the effects. Essentially he loses the control of his back legs and gives the impression he is drunk. We have spoken to many vets around the world and sadly none of them can offer us a cure. We can only offer Brillo a loving and caring environment and hope his condition does not deteriate and cause him pain. Currently he does not show any signs of pain. To see him in this condition is heart breaking for us.
A frequently asked question I get asked is whether pigs root or not and how bad they root. The photo above shows the damage that two small pigs have done in 1 WEEK. I think these photos speak for themselves. Many thanks to Paula & Marcus for sending me these great photos. Thanks to Banjo & Blossom for doing some fantastic snout work, well done guys.

This is Bushka who will always be in our hearts. These pages are dedicated to her memory. She lived with us for over 5 years, appeared in national newspapers, TV and even radio. Her stories have been told in various publications in the UK and many other countries around the world. She was my introduction to owning a potbellied pig and taught me much of what I know.
