Piglet is deaf and is vision impaired but his nose gets him around quite well. Being deaf you wouldn't have to worry about fireworks, loud noises and storms but will need help to keep him safe from stairs, ledges and falling off furniture. Piglet has picked up some sign language from his foster carer which will be shown to his new owners. Piglet can sit, drop and shake paws.
