We had two kunes for years - unfortunately the last one died a few months ago.
Bought a couple of kune kune cross pot bellied to replace a couple of weeks ago.
They are so small they can escape their enclosure so they are currently in an aviary. Right near the back door. So every time you go out of the door they squeal, like Pigs, for food.
Probably my favourite of the various animals we have had.
Mine are in the stables over winter and they are always on their back legs looking over the stable door. Bought a couple of kune kune cross pot bellied to replace a couple of weeks ago.

Got a couple of Kune Kune for the kids. They're only small, even when fully grown. Very friendly, what always amuses me is that when they're happy i.e. being given food, or a scratch behind the ears they wag there tails just like a dog does. As others have said they soon get to know "their" humans and are very wary of strangers.
At one stage we were thinking about eating them but the vet reckoned they're all fat, you get a thin strip of meat and about 3in of fat, like old farmhouse bacon used to have. Ok for SE Asian style cooking I guess.
Kune sausages are lovely, i bought some from the breeder of my first two. You do have to be careful how you finish them though down to the fat.At one stage we were thinking about eating them but the vet reckoned they're all fat, you get a thin strip of meat and about 3in of fat, like old farmhouse bacon used to have.
