Salt and Peppers were taken from a neglectful owner by a humane society in Derby and came to us very malnourished about 5 years ago. At that time, you could see all of their ribs and their hooves were in very bad shape. They are now perfectly healthy and quite feisty. They love to climb and lock horns with each other, like jousting knights!
