The Floydlings are made up of Uncle Floyd, Modoc, Spoonie, Waffles, and Oy. All five were rescued as part of a starvation case in early 2022. There were nearly 30 pigs on the property, and they were living off of a giant tub full of spent grain soup, which was just a giant vat of moldy tan water. The animals were undernourished, loaded with parasites and dying. We removed all of the pigs from the property and worked with a neighboring pig sanctuary, Shepherdā€™s Green, to get them vetted and placed into safe homes. Oy was one of the small group of tiny man-babies we took in as residents of Odd Man Inn. Oy is the one with the small pink spot on his nose, and heā€™s the smallest of the crew. Tiny pigs like this are not ā€œminiā€ pigs. They are starved runts with terrible genetics who are unnaturally small. Heā€™s a skittish little guy who does NOT allow scritches, and we respect that. The only time he gets handled is for medical care, including annual vaccines and deworming. Otherwise, he lives a very carefree life as one of the tiniest pigs on the entire OMI property!
