Lila and Katie are now 8 months old and have become at home with SWIVL. Close to 250 pounds each, Lila and Katie may not be dainty but they certainly are loveable. Click here to see Lila and Katie at three months old.
Sus domesticus - fancy name for pigs - are loving their healthy diet of apples, bananas, lettuce, mellon, zucchini, diluted apple juice, protein pellet feed, and bermuda grass; biscuits, rice, and pasta are tossed in for dessert.
The daily routine and care for Lila and Katie begins at 7:00 am every morning with the cleaning of their general area, pouring of fresh water, and setting their food plates out. While Lila and Katie play, run, jump, it’s all business during feeding time. Lila tends to dominate Katie for a few minutes, pushing her out of the way. Then, without any warning, Katie grunts and says that’s enough and stands her ground. Lila seems to know that her sister means business and a deal is struck between these two strong headed females.
SWIVL has built a barn/shed for Lila and Katie so they are safe and away from the elements. Both reside in a 1600 square foot area with lots of trees. They are also free to run and play for about an hour each day on the SWIVL grounds – just as long as the dogs are not out. More to come.
