Bruno and Mars the kune kune pigs

Portland OR

Description

Bruno and Mars are our two kune kune pigs and unfortunately we need to rehome them due to unforseen circumstances. We were supposed to move out to begin homesteading our piece of land this summer and they were going to be the beginning of our pig line, but unfortunately, we've been stuck in the city longer than we planned and we're worried that when summer hits and the smell builds up from them, neighbors might begin to complain! Kune kunes are not supposed to get very large and ate good homestead pigs. They're "sort of" mini pigs because some people call them that due to their smaller size. They hail from New Zealand and this breed almost went extinct but a couple guys decided to save them in the 1980s and now they've made quite the comeback and are very popular due to their friendly nature! Seriously, if you pet them for too long, they'll just flop over on their backs for belly rubs! They LOVE belly rubs! These guys have been our pets and we're looking for someone who will treat them the same way. Rehoming fee is totally negotiable TO THE RIGHT HOME. Bruno was our first pig and my hubby loves him very much. He was born in October 2021 so he's about 7 or 8 months old. He's mainly orange/red and black but does have the gold tipping at the ends of his hair. He's a very pretty boy! He loves pets and he really loves attention from his mommy. He will chase someone if he feels fear...lol But our 5 and 6 year old girls can also chase him with him squealing like a baby! My 14 year old daughter and her friends... he likes to pick on. Lol My hubby picks him up sometimes and he gets very angry at that, but he has to be shown who is "big pig" sometimes. He has multiple brushes and he loves the belly rubs the most. The neighbors like to feed him and pet him through the fence! He lives up to his name and likes to push his weight around. He has pushed his way out of their own multiple times so be prepared to have to redo the latch system a lot because he's also very smart and does not stop easily! He's probably 100 to 125 pounds and is a real brute. Mars Bars is black and white with some hints of orange. She has the longest eye lashes like a baby cow! She is so dang cute and looks like a little baby to me still! She loves her nose rubbed and to push Bruno around. She likes to play games and loves toys. Her favorite thing to play with is their big food bags once they're empty! She'll chase them all around and climb in and out of them. She's more skeptical than Bruno and takes longer to warm up to you. She runs off easier and is VERY fast for a little pig! She is very, very food motivated and is sneaky! She was born in December 2021 so she's about 6 months. We would really like them to stay together because Mars loves Bruno so much and he... tolerates her well! Lol neither are fixed so if you don't want future little piggies, you would have to look into that. They have been fed a very good diet of Purina Pig Pellets, alfalfa pellets, grain, chicken feed, black oil sunflower seeds, Timothy hay, fruits and veggies, gourmet Blueberry pig treats, and lots of table scraps! They eat well. If you're a new pig owner, we can offer you all the advice we know and groups to join. We would also really like to stay in contact because we're very attached to Bruno and Mars. Bruno was my hubby's valentines present and he's always wanted a piggy and he's his buddy but life has thrown us yet another curve ball and we just don't know what else to do for the time being. They will come with all their supplies and all our knowledge and a couple weeks worth of pig pellets and treats. The rehoming fee can be discussed because they really need to go to THE RIGHT HOME!
