I am astonished that you are contemplating breeding them in civilisation - although I suppose that an exception might be made for Kent. Surely pandae is the plural of panda pandasus's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The little white female does go out a lot though... I understand those black and white ones are a bit choosy, if you like i could send down our female, she's not proud..

Dave at kelton Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 I am surprised any of you south of the border are discussing this. As you should know any haggis(i) produced south of Gretna Green is actually the commoner cousin of the animal and known as the Saggis(i). It is significantly less hardy, intolerant of hard weather and never goes out in the snow. It needs centrally heated breeding accommodation and is known to whine loudly when wet, cold or uncomfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very kind offer however we have decided to move them into the penguin enclosure and hope the colder temperatures encourage some shared body heat etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything should remain a true blood stock it is our black puddings (with cubes of pork fat and a little salt, pepper and nutmeg). Let the alien Haggus mate with the blutwurst or boudin noir if they will to fulfil wee Krankie's European dreams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
