He will have his little farm he deserves - famous Bispham pig Wilbur moves his trotters elsewhere
After all the hard work Wilbur the pig will finally have his little farm he deserves.
A famous and much loved Bispham pig has packed up and moved his trotters elsewhere
Wilbur - a six-year-old pot belly-cross Julianna who weighs over 100kg lived in an outhouse at Jane Sudds’ Bispham home.
Surprisingly, he is cleaner than most animals, intelligent, has a calm nature, an all round cheeky chap who wants lots of cuddles and belly rubs - and lots of food!
He eats pigs nuts, fruit and veggies. Contrary to popular beliefs pigs cannot be fed catering waste, which includes kitchen scraps from any domestic or commercial kitchen, even those only catering to vegans. This is due to the risk of transmitting diseases like African swine fever and foot and mouth disease.
Jane said: “When I take Wilbur for a walk, people love to stop and ask questions, give him cuddles and have their photo taken with him.
“Wilbur no longer lives on Sunnybank.
“Thank you for all the kind donations over the past 6 years for Wilbur but I don’t think the new owners of Sunnybank will be requiring any duvets, apples or pumpkins.”
