Tribble is a mainly-black short haired tortoiseshell female, born in May 1997.
Initially she was very small, timid and submissive but has always had an adventurous streak. Now she is older, she has calmed down, but still remains the most inquisitive of the NoisyPigs.
Generally, Tribble is very well behaved. As with many pigs, she is not keen on being picked up but settles down reasonably well during “lap-time”. Tribble loves her food and is usually the first to the food bowl - she is also very skilled at balancing on two legs to reach up and grab the first mouthful! We think she may have a long-haired parent or grandparent because she has quite long, silky hair compared to the other NoisyPigs.
When she thinks food may be on offer Tribble is just as loud in the wheeking department as Splotch and Hobnob: and she is often the one to start the wheeking chorus!
Tribble’s tawny-brown bands of fur have caused me to nickname her my Lioness.
