The pig shed is complete, with the exception of a second coat of paint and first and second coat for the door.
And the piggies love their new home :)
We sectioned off part of it for their bedding area, the other part will be for their feed/general area. The bedding area will be filled with straw.
If you look at the first picture you can see Dan's ingenious idea of using a rubber mudflap as a smaller door for the piggies within the big outer door for the humans. This way they can come and go as they please, but still stay warm and cozy.
If you notice the bucket on the left in the top picture, that's supposed to be their waterer, fitted with a pig water nipple. They haven't figured it out. We don't know HOW to get them to figure it out. We have tried all kinds of things including smearing the nipple with peanut butter, but they just don't GET it. They much prefer their water trough, and if that goes empty they just stay thirsty. Any suggestions?
And their electric fence charger has gone on the blink. We're going to get it replaced since we haven't even had it two weeks.
