Spring Newsletter Hello everyone we hope you have all enjoyed

some much needed rest over the Easter

holidays.

For those that don’t know who we are, we are

a rescue centre for Pigs and Terrapin/Turtles

but also have 2 Pigmy Goats and Hens.

Recently a lot has been happening up at Pig

Inn Heaven, we have moved to a new site,

luckily not too far from the previous site. So far

all the animal housing has been moved on to

the new site, it has taken 200 ton of stone to

get a road through and are presently looking

for 100 ton of plainings to put on top (donation

would be greatly received). This will make it a

safe walkway for forthcoming visitors.

New Site Open Day

The weather has been against us at times due

to our very wet winter, then the snow came but

fortunate not for too long. Thankfully the

weather is now becoming milder so full steam

ahead to get the site finished for our open day

on the 3rd

September 2016.

Lagoon

We now have our own lagoon, the mud had to

be dredged and a pond liner was used to line

the lagoon (cursitory of Alderburgh Ltd,

Rochdale) they have been very kind in

donating materials for the new site. The lagoon

now holds 60 thousand litres of clean fresh

spring water for use on site.

Tree of Knowledge

We have a wonderful wood on the land which

was originally where the mill owners’ house

was situated back in the 1800’s who owned

Sladen Mill. In the wood there is a beech tree

which is between 80–100 years old and this

will become our very own tree of knowledge.

Information will be research and pinned onto

the tree about the past history of Sladen Mill

and now the present of an animal sanctuary.

Our ultimate aim is to get the Pig Inn Heaven

site child friendly ready so we can hold

education visits and have the general public

visiting the animals.

Rehoming

We have recently rehomed our 9 Geese and 1

Duck, they have gone to 2 good homes,

pictures showing them being loaded up onto

the trailer and on their new land in Summit,

Littleborough. We hope they enjoy their new

home and we will be in contact to see how

they are getting on.

New Arrivals

We have recently taken on 5 new Terrapins

Ziggy, Nemo, Scrabble, Tat & Tot. We would

like to welcome them to their new home and

hope they enjoy being with their new reptilian

family.

Spring chicken

The hens are very busy now the weather is

getting warmer laying eggs for the spring

season. They are enjoying the new site

scratting around the woodland seeing what

they can find, they really are free range.

Health News

We have a couple of poorly terrapins at

present who have recently had to take a visit

to the vets, they both have been diagnosed

with a bacterial infection in their shells.

Daily injections and cream is applied to help

with the healing process. The Vet has assured

us that they will soon recover.

Education Visits

We have recently been to local primary

schools and nurseries giving out information

on Pig Inn Heaven and to organise education

visits for the children, we are excited about this

new venture and hope it is a successful one.

Lunch for Three

Gino and Ashraf our 2 Pigmy Goats decided to

share their lunch with Newt one of our resident

pigs, the goats really enjoy the pigs company

and interact very well.

Foraging In the Field

As you can see the pigs have really settled

into their new home, foraging in the field to see

what they can find, no truffles unfortunately.

Sleepy Heads

Pigs fed and watered and now settling down to

sleep it’s a hard life on this new site, open

aspect views are so relaxing. What a great

place to live up at Pig Inn Heaven.

Short Poem

There is a pig called Daisy who

continually drives us crazy, but when

she is there, she takes good care of all

the pigs that surround her.

Meet Daisy.
