So I'm expecting to get a new baby soon. She's from a neighbor's accidental litter. I will be getting her toward the end of September. By that time, she will be about 6-8 weeks old. I will do a quarantine for 3 weeks. But then I will be introducing her to my three adult sows (please pray for us lol). Since she will be in the same cage as the adult sows, I don't want to put alfalfa hay/pellets in the cage. I've heard that I can just give the baby certain veggies so that she gets the nutrition that she needs. Is it CALCIUM that she needs in higher amounts than the adults? If so, exactly what veggies, in what amounts, and how often should I hand feed them to her?
