Story: Truffle came along with her sister Belka to live with the slaves in September 2010. The slaves immediately liked her multicolored crest and the white ribbon that went halfway around her middle. Since she was already cocoa and caramel colored, they thought it looked like she was being decorated, much like a chocolate truffle. Truffle was at first very nervous and shy, but after getting used to the slaves she became a more sociable piggy (not that whee can blame her, those slaves can be rather odd at times). During out of cage time, she enjoys galloping about the floor, but unlike her sister Belka, she likes to run at random angles in random directions (she won't tell us why, but whee speculate she might be trying to compute complex mathematical food equations in her head).
