Quiet day today, only 6 pens of piggies in. All were boars which is unusual. First two were unwanted, a gorgeous black ridgeback type lad and a lemon agouti chap. Got those two for £1.50 and £1. The next ones up were 2 cages of paired babies, again boars. I paid £7.50 for the first pair (both have some kind of fungal problem, Shaz
will give more details I'm sure) but the second cage had much more
interest and went for more, I left them as they were private type people
rather than a dealer and looked healthy. At the end of the auction
there were two pens, one pair of boars and a singleton. Bidding was frantic and I didn't even register one bid between them! They again went for more than dealers will pay so fingers crossed for them. So there are 4 new arrivals at Avalon, two of which will need medication and care before they will be available for rehoming.
No doubt
they will cost more in meds than it took to buy them but had they gone
to an uneducated home or a dealer they would have probably stayed with
open sores and pain for a lot longer.
And they are just adorable!
