It doesn't look so small from this photo, and the peccaries look to be enjoying it!
Haven't been here for years, but looks like I need to return, I also love your skunk photos.
 
This yard would probably be just about big enough on its own for the group at its current size (after half the animals went to Dudley!), so it's not tiny, but the combined yard and paddock complex is very good.

And I'll always heartily recommend a visit to Cotswold - one of my favourite places.

Then I shall go!
The peccaries seem to have settled in well at Dudley too, and they also have a good sized enclosure there.
 
I absolutely love Cotswold, but want to wait till the Giraffe and Wolverine enclosures are finished, as it's a bit of a journey to go over too reguarly. But I can't wait! :)

Wolverine enclosure will be finished early 2010 as for the Giraffe`s they have only just started clearing the old Ostrich House so you could have to wait sometime for that to be completed.

The other day there was a tractor levelling the ground in the big paddock- it is a very sizeable area for them(or will be when its finished)

This work was making the wolves nearby very nervous though- all 4 were pacing/panting. They'll be able to see/watch the Peccaries which will provide some interest for them.
 
The big paddock has been in use on my previous visits, so that'd ahve to be maintenance or alteration rather than it being 'finished off'.

It's a great, simple exhibit.
