Little help please

The one I'm feeding has the biggest eyes they're adorable.

Should I be feeding the mom part piglet feed until she weans? Since I found out she was pregnant I've done half adult and half piglet. Or can I stop feeding her piglet feed? Also when should I start introducing moistened feed to the babies?

I'd say she's mastered it haha. She eats sitting down now. She's good at coming to me when I pop my head in there anymore

adorable. I used to feed my dog puppy chow when she was nursing. I did it until they were weaned. Beyond that I am no help.

You can start feeding her warm mash now. We start feeding warm pig and sow mash at 4 days old and then they switch to dry mash at about 3 weeks. This is for normal size pigs but should be the same for your potbellies.

Is it normal for the males to have a smell so young? They're 2 weeks and 2 days old right now. I've noticed one piglet has more of a smell than the rest. Is that just from their scent glands or is that a sexual thing? I've noticed they are humping each other a lot -_- my vet won't castrate til 4 months old so I'm going to have to separate the sexes fairly soon. I wish they could have done it way sooner :/

Does she look too thin? I feed her a cup of food 2-3x a day :/ she gets quite a bit more than she used to but she still seems so frail to me. We are powering through pig feed :/ I feel like I need to feed her more but idk if this is a normal looking weight for her age. She turns 1 the 28th

When she was pregnant she was getting about 4-5 cups a day while grazing and occasionally getting veggies. Shes had had some watermelon rinds a couple times this week
