I think one baby is quite normal, especially if it's her first litter, and if I remember correctly, this is a petstore pig that was very young and pregnant, so hopefully it is her first (and last) litter.

Yes, it's quite normal not to find any blood in the cage because the momma will eat all of the afterbirth, even the shavings, if they were bloody.

As long as she's not still trying to deliver a baby that's not coming out, one baby is perfectly fine.
