I thought it time to have a little post about our PinkyPigs. Pacific is currently celebrating being on the first beta test cut for another breedable, so I took a look at perhaps our largest breedable animal (in size) anyway.
PinkyPig Trade Ins
We are aware via various Plurks, and IMs that some of our friends still have a few problems with some PinkyPigs – not eatting or not registering with the HUD (despite the new update). If they aren’t concerned enough to contact the support for PinkyPigs, then perhaps they are happy to trade in their unwanted pigs for food.
Pacific first spoke about this trade in possibility on the Breedable news of this week – Tuesday. On Sunday last, the PinkyPigs team announced that we could trade in unwanted pigs in this way. Three pigs for either one food bowl or a mud pit, five piggies for two.
Raymond Algoma wrote us to tell us that this trade in special will be running until February 7th – so next Sunday to get all your unwanted pigs in. This is a good arrangement too, rather than peppering the market with cheap pigs.
Knowing Your Pigs – A Survey of Yourself
Quite a few of us own PinkyPigs. They are particularly cute, I admit. I think it’s something about the noise. Our pig family has been moved out into their own sty outside our main barn, where they are doing very well there. There is a gate into the sty, and I find myself spending a lot of time there, just watching.
We have two starter pigs – now grandma and grandad. They are only 30 days old, so roughly 1/3 of their lifecycle age. Grandma is red, her husband is blue.
When they turned fourteen days old, and hit maturity, they gave us the middle generation – Cerise is her name. Pacific eventually purchased a green piglet of the same age to mate with her once she’d grown up. His name is Greenie.
Yesterday, Cerise had her first baby, a little girl I got the choice to name. She’s called lavender. Because PinkyPigs don’t keep the ancestry of who has mated with the pigs, I am not sure which male actually is the daddy – Greenie or the Blue pig who is Cerise’s father. Given the colour, I’d say she may actually have been impregnated by either of them.
I am unsure if inbreeding has consequences with PinkyPigs.
But what are you sure of, as a PinkyPig owner? Can you answer the following survey questions as a pig keeper?
- What’s a collective name for a group of pigs?
- When a PinkyPig pair are ready to breed again, what do you notice in text chat if you happen to be around at the right time?
- What three different sounds have you heard from PinkyPigs? What do two of them signify?
- How do you get a PinkyPig prepared for trading or selling? (This one, we’ve never done, either).
- How do you get rid of an unwanted PinkyPig if you don’t want to trade or sell it (not counting the current Trade In Offer for food or mud).
- What is the mud pit for?
- What is the latest version of PinkyPigs that your pigs should be on?
- If you make your PinkyPigs non-physical, what is the range they operate or wander around within?
- Before you box a pig, what would I suggest you do first?
- How long between giving birth before a PinkyPig female can become pregnant again? How long is the pregnancy?
There are no prizes for this, unless you want a spare PinkyPig we have lying around in a HUD? I would honestly recommend PinkyPigs for anyone wanting a really nice pet around the place. They are very cute, and have some nice accessories with the mudpit.
The secret to their spots. If you first enter Second Life and textures have not fully loaded, you get to see the coats of PinkyPigs.
