Little help please

These piglets are growing so fast!!! Boots worries me sometimes though. After I feed her she has little sneezing/coughing spells. And peppa is the absolute fattest piglet I've ever seen! She even comes up in my lap to get just a taste of the formula. She drinks what Boots doesn't. I started kind of putting piglet feed in their bed while momma eats around 3 weeks. They've all got it down pretty good. Hard to believe they'll be 4 weeks old Wednesday!

I'll be taking new pics tomorrow. Boots and Peppa are the first piglets I've encountered that don't squeal when being picked up. Boots I expected it from, since I've been bottle feeding her so long. But Peppa. She's just so lovable. She's a lot like the momma pig

I can hardly wait to see the pictures. Is Boots still be fed by syringe? Does she nurse off of mama at all?

 

[Mouse14]

Yes she's still on syringe. She's finally not losing any of it when she sucks. She does nurse on momma but doesn't get anything. She acts starved when I feed her. She doesnt eat much of the feed still. I meant to upload a couple pics earlier. Today was mop day and I stalled it lol. They get the back room filthy haha

Food on her face is cute. She is getting to be a big little pig. You have done a good job with her and all of them.

Thanks! I'm so glad we haven't lost any more! I'm doing this all on my own. Was supposed to have help, but schedules get crazy and everyone's out of town when something like this happens! I hope her sneezing/coughing fits are nothing serious after she eats. I'm terrified of them getting pneumonia. The daddy had it as a baby and so I worry about it lol

You are probably wise to be a little concerned with her sneezing and coughing. Do you ever see anything come out of her nose when she does that? She is most likely just being a "pig" and eating to fast but I would certainly be on the look out for her not feeling well.

She acts totally fine otherwise. She only coughs and sneezes for a couple mins when she's done. It started from me feeding her inside the back room instead of isolated. I may pull her out again and see if it stops. I do have a question though. I left 2.5 dozen eggs out overnight on accident :/ can I boil them and feed them to momma or could that be dangerous since the eggs are technically bad? I'm trying to give her variety since she refuses to go outside. I have frozen sweet peas I'm gonna fix for her as well.
