Pig Grooming

It is important to maintain a good bond with some of the animals that we have lots of contact with- it especially makes administering medication easier, health checking and ensures that entering enclosures is safer. 

There are great ways to strengthen this bond and one of those is to carry out grooming sessions. Clearly this will only be possible on certain species- but this is a much enjoyed experience by our Kune Kune pigs. These guys are only just 8 months old, and so being youngsters it means that they enjoy the contact and it gets them used to being in close contact at an early age; far easier than wrestling with a fully grown adult pig!

 I think the team enjoy the contact just as much!..........
