Pigs at an Amersham attraction enjoyed a special game this week, apples and pears on a string!
Staff at Kew Little Pigs strung the fruit around the pens, and the pigs got stuck into the fun game, before devouring the tasty treats.
Games and toys are a big part of keeping the attraction’s adorable animals happy and stimulated, and staff spend lots of time thinking of new enrichment activities for them to do.
In these adorable pictures miniature pigs Popcorn and Astrid try out the new toy, which kept them occupied for an entire afternoon as they tried to catch every last bit.
Olivia Mikhail, owner of Kew Little Pigs, which is an award-winning attraction and the UK’s leading ethical breeder of miniature pigs, said: “Pig keeping is not just about keeping the pigs alive, it’s about keeping them happy and stimulated too. These are highly intelligent animals that need as much care and attention as a dog, so we always think of games and toys that they might enjoy.
“Popcorn, Astrid and all the other pigs really enjoyed their apples and pears experience, and the piglets loved trying to get the fruit down off the strings. It was so cute to watch.”
To celebrate the spooky season Kew Little Pigs is running a Halloween Extravaganza, which sees the farm be fully decorated with ghoulish surprises. There are also free sweets on offer for kids, and a spooky trail to enjoy.
From the 26th of October to the 3rd of November for the Halloween Extravaganza tickets are discounted Adults £22 (saving £12) children £15 (saving (£10).

“I joined the team in September of 2021 as a Farm Hand. This was my first proper job and the experience was very insightful as working with animals there is never a dull moment. I have always loved animals and have had many different animals growing up such as guinea pigs, rabbits, dogs and horses so I knew the animal industry was a career I would like to be involved in. Since joining Kew Little Pigs Farm I have had the opportunity to care for the animals and share my knowledge with all the customers that have visited the farm. I was promoted to Head Farm Hand in January 2023.
I look forward to my journey here at Kew Little Pigs Farm and hope to see you on the farm soon!”
