Some hay was stored in the back of the pen where the piggies live. In order to access it, which I did need to do today, I had to open the pen gate. Of course, Wilbur, Clara and Piglet went out on the town, um, er, on the farm to check out the place. They have been out before. Piglet is now in the exploration stage and is curious about smelling and tasting everything, much like most babies of most speicies. He followed his mother around for a while, until he got bold and then wandered off on his own. He got into a little trouble with the gander and when he screamed, Mother Clara came running and threatened the gander for the love of her son. The gander thought it best to go the other way. It is not ever a good idea to get between a mother and her baby of any protective animal. Wilbur was out rooting around and came to see what the problem was too, but Clara had everything under control by then. Typical guy..the hero who saved the day.
Clara found a piece of fat with a little meat on it that belonged to Jade. Jade has been taught not to hurt the pigs, especially the piglet, so she allowed the pigs to have it. Clara chowed down and Piglet tried a few tastes. Pigs will eat meat when they get a chance, raw or even still alive. My big Berkshires developed a taste for live duck and chicken, which ended in their own demise. Pigs with good temperaments should not eat live animals. Robbie took the meat from Clara and ate it. He knows pigs should stay clear of raw meat, smart doggie.
At the close of the day, after wandering around and exploring and rooting where they could, the pig family settle down for a deserved night's rest in their shelter. When I went to check on them, only Clara's nose could be seen out from under the hay. Wilbur and Piglet were all submerged and fast asleep. ZZZZZzzzzzz.
