Hedgepig!
Posted: September 30th, 2021, 7:36 pm
The garden here at Mork Towers has a Hedgepig! First sighted a few weeks back said spikey wee thing now has a freshly made (by mine own fair hand) safe feeding box, stocked with proper pig dry food and wet cat food (no fishy flavours, meat only), and an outdoors water bowl. I have a wildlife camera on the way so I shall soon have piccies and video
Obviously during summer time having a train of cute ickle hoglets following would suggest we are of the gurl persuasion, but at this time of year the babies will be off on their own journies so Hedgepig will be roaming alone and therefore potentially gender unidentifiable.
Question is, without staying up all night and then picking them up to have a look see (which I am loathe to do, it may distress them), is there any way of telling whether we are a boy pig or girl pig from the pictures? Well, it is rude to ask!

oh, if any veterinary assistance is required it ain't a problem, my landlord is the former owner of the local vet's (which also happens to be ten feet away from my back door across our shared driveway and car park!)
