What is a kunekune?
(pronounced cooney-cooney)
Kunekunes are a grazing pig from New Zealand. They are recognized by their long hair, big ears and wattles. Kunes are a medium sized pig, sows growing to about 24 inches at the shoulder and weighing up to 140 pounds. They make great pets and outstanding additions to hobby farms since they are very dog like. Our kunes love to flop over on their sides for belly rubs and sit for treats. They also follow us around like puppy dogs.
What do kunekunes eat?
Kunekune's are grazing pigs. They do well on good pasture. If you do not have pasture, they can be raised solely on a good pig ration. We use Purina Nature's Match Sow and Pig. They also love fruits and vegetables. Never feed Kunekunes meat or fruits with pits. The pits are poisonous to them.
Above is our boar, Chewbacca, aka Chewy. He is our KuneKune boar. He is very friendly and gentle and he is great with the girls.
Watering your Kunes
It is very important that your kunes have fresh water at all times. If pigs go without water for 24 hours they can die. (See the link below) You can water your kunes using a low bowl, buy a specially made pig waterer, or you can make your own using a pig water nipple. If you Google pig waterer, you will find a lot of options.
