Desperate for mud

When we had a few days of warm weather last week it was interesting to see how much pigs crave mud to lay in. The pink spotted pig, with her snout, pushed some dirt up onto the concrete slab that is under their waterer and created a small muddy area about one or two feet in diameter. Then they both tried to fit in it but they kept falling off the slab and snorting and stepping over each other. They finally compromised and ended up with just their hind ends in the mud! It made me laugh! Now we bring extra water and make a mud bog area for them.
