Pepper's Babies

[farmersdaughter]

My skinny pig carrier, Pepper, had her babies yesterday around 6:00pm. Things went great labor and delivery was over in about 5 minutes. I did have to pull the sack off baby #2. My question is when is okay to give Pepper a bath? There was very little blood, but she has white fur and it is kind of nasty looking.

Cute babies . I don't know about a bath ;mabye wipe her with a wet towel ,or she might wash it off herself.

Pepper's babies are just over 3 weeks old now and are both boys. I moved Pepper out on Thursday to prevent more babies so that just left the 2 little boys in the smaller cage. Baby #2 went to live with my friend and her older male. The peach fuzzy looking baby ended up losing all but a teenzy bit of hair and is as cute as can be. He still needs to be rehomed or I may just get him neutered and move him in with the ladies when he is old enough, but I am not sure yet. He is so pathetic right now since his momma and brother are both gone. He just sits there hardly making a sound when he is usually wheeking and chirping like crazy. I have been giving him some extra attention and he seems to enjoy it.

Yes he is mostly bald. He was born with peach-fuzz hair every where but his tummy and he lost hair over the first week. I checked on him before I went to work when he was about 4 days old. I get home from work check on them and he was almost completely bald. It was expected momma piggy is a skinny gene carrier and daddy was either a skinny or a gene carrier. I have been calling him Atticus (from To Kill A Mockingbird.) All the other pigs have names that start with a "P" so I am thinking about changing it, but I cannot think of a boy "P" name.
