Thanks for the info,and smashing pics--confirmed what I thought,although the only pigs I've known have rooted I read that kune kunes were different, but was very sceptical. Unfortunately I dont want a veg garden turned over so back to plan B.  |

Mum's two, only root if ground is wet, and they dont dig down.. but will turn the top layer.. so instead of having like a metre hole like you get with certain types her two do about 10-20cms at the most. I suppose they are more like a chain harrow than a plough.
Though your more than welcome to come see the 'damage' for yourself, since your quite close by  |

OMG, you chose well. You got the only one of ours that doesn't dig!   The rest are trying for Australia! |

Penny roots more than Merry, but its mainly where her nuts have fallen off her porch/veranda and by the gate where her food appears Merry mainly roots/walks along the fence that divides their pens, and roots when she is on heat/season. She has really white goo like someone has been painting her vulva rather than the normal clear substance.. at least its easy to tell, was a bit worried that we had missed her (sorry bit O/T) |

I have had to seperate our girls out too and yes, they also have the white goo! Makes it easier to tell. |
