Speckles

– Hello, my name is Speckles and I’m a Kune Kune. I am around 8 years old and I came to Luccombe Hub Farm not too long ago when my previous farm closed down. I came here with my two field mates Smokey and Babe and thankfully our carers have made sure that we get to stay together now that we are here. I was very overweight when I first came as I used to be on a high carb diet of sow nuts (meant for pregnant pigs) and bread! My carers have helped me to diet by giving me the food I need to get healthy and I am now working towards a healthy weight. I get to forage for the fruit and veg they give us as they spread it out over our whole field. This is very important for us pigs as we are very intelligent animals and can get bored very easily (we have the mental age of a 3 to 5 year old!) My favourite vegetable is cucumber and I always try and beat my friends to find it when dinner time comes.
