You just never know with piglets!
Precious had her lot out and about in the pen within 3 days of entering the world. Delila, at the other extreme, is not at all in a hurry to have her brood out and 
exploring..... Until yesterday, 5 days from being born, none had ventured out of their cosy house. We were getting a little concerned until we reminded ourselves that that was the status quo with the first couple of litters to be born here! Clearly our expectations have increased in the intervening period!

Clearly our expectations have increased in the intervening period!Nonetheless, it was a great relief to see three of them happily trotting about and exploring everything and everyone yesterday afternoon...... Mavis and Maud were most inquisitive and the little ones were happy enough to snuffle them through the fence... until Delila, some distance away, gruntled protectively and called her young ones back....... Meanwhile, the other three seemed perfectly contented to be tucked up in the corner of their cosy house and not in the least interested in coming out to play when the other three came back in to entice them out!
Still, why 
should I expect all of them to do the same thing? It'll be interesting to see if they m
aintain such different desires as they grow......
