Pig Slop

In caring for Piglett, I'm finding the true meaning of "I ate like a pig, or he eats like a pig".  Not only does she eat an enormous amount, she is messy.  I don't know how she does it, but her food pan and water dish always have a layer of mud in them.

This is her evening meal.  Daughter-in-law left me a whole bunch of expired canned food that I was slowly feeding to the chickens.  I thought feeding Piglett would make better use of it.  So, this is one whole can of green beans, one can of tuna, and half a package of crackers.  She will eat all of it tonight and an equally big portion in the morning.  In addition, she will eat anything else I give her throughout the day.  She especially enjoys melon rinds.

She is losing her fear of me and will hardly even wait until I set the dish down before she digs in.  I was able to be right beside her to take pictures.  I haven't tried to touch her yet because I'm still a little wary of her sharp little teeth.  I don't know if pigs bite, but I don't want to find out.
