I've been having all sorts of baby pig problems from the pregnant rescue moms that came in.
Stella had 3 babies, 2 died, the third required hand feeding but she is doing awesome now at 4 weeks of age.
Rebecca had three babies also, one died, the other two have been on handfeeding since. They are 2.5 weeks of age, one is now being treated for a UTI. (baby red and baby grey)
Bianca had 1 baby by cesarian section on Thursday and hasn't accepted him, so he (baby brindle - not really sure if he is brindle but couldn't think of the color) has moved in with Rebecca and her 2 babies (Stella and her baby just moved out in preparation of going to their new home). Bianca is separated by a grid. I hold her (tightly) to let her baby nurse periodically.
Here are some photos.
I put their ice packs on either side of the divider, and here are Rebecca and Bianca on each one - hey, maybe they will make friends!
Here are the three babies eating some greens.
Here is Rebecca with the three babies.
