Baby piggies!!!
« on: October 13, 2010, 11:42:33 am »
4 lovely babies this morning. :pig: :pig: :pig: :pig: Well done Marge!!!! All over by time we arrived for feeding.
Seems to be coping well, she got up and had some food then straight back to suckle them, soooo cute!!!!
Checking at least every hour but thought best to leave her alone and view from distance as all seems well. So dont know what sex yet.
Will keep you all informed and try get some pictures soon  :love:

Just to update you all, Sadly one of Marges babies died next day, not sure why but the remaining 3 are really healthy and very active.
Gertie had 7 last night, missed it all again, strange mixture considering they should be iron age, seem to be some old spots in there!!
Dosen't matter they seem larger and more active than Marges were but not convinced about her maternal instincts, will need to keep close eye on her.
Will get photos soon  :pig: :love:
