Hi Mandy :wave:
 
Thats a good word "tush"! Yes, its getting better every day thanks. Its not exactly back to normal but nearly there. She's eating and drinking fine and pooping for England.
Regarding food, she's having no prob. eating what I give her. weve had someone around at lunch time to give her a mid day feed but next week we will both be back at work all day. We were planning on a 7.30 am, 4.30 pm and 9pm feed. Should we give her a bigger portion in the morning to get her through the day?
I got into work late today, as I was too busy sitting in wonder, gazing at those little cuties who are just starting to play and wander around a bit. 5 mins of that seems to wear them out and they are soon fast asleep ina heap again, a leg here, an ear there...!

Hi
Glad to hear she's doing well, yes you can give her a bit more in the morning to get her thro the day and two smaller portions at tea-time and late evening, that will work fine, piglets are great time wasters :innocent:  Got a little due myself in about 3wks time so  :fc: .
all the best Mandy :pig:

I wouldnt worry about 3 feeds if it doesnt suit you. I have never done 3 feeds just 2 large feeds and never had any problems. I know some on here say their pigs can't manage 2 big feeds but try her and see what happens.
Everyone makes mistakes as the Dalek said climbing off the dustbin.
