Fingers crossed there won't be any more losses!

One more dead. 4 left, at least two girls and the runt is still alive. So... we'll see what she does tonight...

Sigh....Charlotte. Sure hope that's the end of the losses. Without a lot of competition the runt might just do ok? Sure hope so!

 

[NH Homesteader]

We'll see. DH set up a spot for them where they can get to the heat lamp and it's boarded off so she can't get back there... But he did that last night so obviously it didn't do much. DD1 just got to hold a piglet though!

Ahhhhhhh!! Did she love it? And - did it squeal bloody murder?

 

[NH Homesteader]

Yes and yes

They just aren't cuddly....maybe if ya had to bottle raise one it'd be friendlier - but I'm not going to do that just to have a friendly pig, lol. They get friendly as they get older and figure out that you are the bringer of food.

 

[NH Homesteader]

Yeah no, definitely not bottle raising piglets anytime soon lol. I don't even bottle raise goats unless I have to. Though I was tempted by a bottle baby buckling this week... But I thought better of it!

Good decision. I suspect you have all the bottle babies you need right now.
