Great looking piglets, love some of the markings. Well done 'Aunty'
I'm interested in your use of the heat lamp. Do you always use this with your new borns?
Our recent litter of 11 from 'Lady' had a runt which didn't look like it would last the night and my 'Trouble & Strife' (TAS) decided she would bottle feed it. She set up in a box in our dining room with a heat lamp and proceeded to feed the runt every 3 hours. Within 2 days it was walking by itself and at 5 days we put it back with the sow and the rest of the litter. One of the little gilts got squashed by the sow on day 7, so we're down to 10 and they all seem to be thriving, although the runt still gets a bottle 3 times a day!!!
I released them to a nursery pen at the weekend and they loved getting out to the grass. The runt is very vocal and quite tame compared to the others. I can see me having problems getting the TAS to agree to sell her on to someone else!!
