I just thought it was really cute xD If I saw right we have 4 boys and only 2 girls! So hard to see with how quick they are!

This was before I went to church last night :) giving them dirt to play in till I get the iron for them today. A couple of them loved it, the rest were so confused lol. You can see the one that didn't make it. He got so exhausted from trying to walk and just plopped down.

Thank you. I hope the next go around is much easier! All babies are accounted for this morning. I do have a question though. Do momma pigs play with their babies? I snuck in there for a head count before feeding her, decider to feed her a couple hrs early since I only counted 4. She was...

I cleaned most of the placenta up :/ there's still a little I missed. Would that be okay? So not even a first time mom should accidentally lay on her babies? I thought it was common...I live in a dry county and the nearest wet one is about an hr away :/ I gave the placenta 8ish hrs and...

She doesn't want to lay right beside them right now :/

Yeah he's gone. She had crushed him. He ended up under two layers of blankets. is it okay if she lays on the opposite side of the bed? For their body heat I mean. I have them on a heated blanket but idk if that's enough. I have my house on 79°, killing me but I'm doing it for them.

If my husband was home he would have. He's done it to several cows we've had that went lame. I am too sensitive

I've never put an animal down. I don't know that I have the stomach for it. I mean if it was a random wild animal that had been run over and was twitching and stuff maybe. But a tiny little piglet. Ugh. :(

I caught momma laying on top of him. I think she knows....I didn't want him to smother so I got him out but man :/

I don't really have a way to tonight. I get money tomorrow. I can't bring myself to put it down the country way. I'd want a vet to and I just don't have funds til tomorrow to :( by then it won't even matter.

Piglet will be dead tonight I'm sure. He's weak, getting colder, can't even really walk unless he's leaning on something. This is so sad

Alright I'll message my vet a pic. He typically only does castration and sells dewormer but I'm hoping he can give me some answers. It seems to nurse off and on. It's not the best but it's not not nursing

It can but it's extra work for it :/ I feel if I don't intervene it will die. It's already one of the smallest babies

How do I feed a piglet by hand? This one's tongue comes out the side when it tries to nurse. Is it true thy can drink from a saucer if hungry enough?

One of the babies mouth looks deformed. I'll try to get it posted. It seems to be the only one like that

Do you know about how much castrations cost? They won't find furever homes til it's all done. I didn't plan on cutting their teeth either. I've heard mixed reviews on doing it. Only altering I planned was sterilization

Yeah that's a great comparison! Closest thing to it.

As for iron shots where do I get them and what is it called? When do I need to give it to them? I was going to get some dirt and fill a small kiddie pool with it and give then some play time, but I wasn't expecting them to be so small lol. My pig is being so sweet. She's not aggressive at all!

They are teenie. Like 4.5" I don't even know what to compare them to!! Lol
