We call her Betsy the Biter because she is always very excited to get a treat that she opens her mouth like she is going to bite!

Lily
Lily is a shy girl but also curious. She will come right up to you to take a treat, but takes some coaxing to be pet.
Petunia
Petunia has the sweetest little oink, and despite being large, will take a treat from your hand as gentle as can be.

Rosita is an incredible sweet and gentle pig. She originally comes from the New York City area, and has mobility issues due to a vitamin deficiency when young.
