Yes just got off the phone with Sophie (thank you Sophie) and going to drop Yasmin off to school and then get goats milk and start supplementing. Fingers crossed for 2 tinies...
 
Oh no! I can't believe I missed it! I was awake but last time I had checked,the camera was off so I assumed it was off for the night and didn't check again. Aargh! So mad with myself for not being there but so glad you were there, Lisa.
Wow! 6 babies... congratulations! They are just beautiful and they look big too! I'll be saying prayers that they all make it.
Dolly looks absolutely knackered ... poor love! Is she being a good Mum? It must be a bit overwhelming for her.
Sending lots of gentle kisses to Dolly and her sweet babies. xoxo
 
There is a little red baby that doesn't seem to be moving much or feeding. Is he OK?

It's goats milk and bread!

Thanks about the bracelet was for my birthday last week, it's got those pandora beads on it and one of them is a guinea pig!

That's one of the weak ones - the smallest of them. It's much better than it was I expected is to have passed by now. BUT I just took it out and gave it goats milk off a spoon - they took it too. Going to give that one and the other one some alone time with mum in a mo.
 
Lisa if it isn't working or the other babies are crying for mum, I'd put them back in but don't let them feed. Just let the weaker ones have a few minutes, and do it every few hours. You will feel cruel, but every baby will be for himself, and you're not doing anything wrong making sure your tiny bubbas are getting some too.
 
She's left them alone to go for a snack and a wander. :( Come on Dolly, your little ones need you!
 
What Dolly is doing today is completely normal. She is taking care of herself, because she knows that she needs good food to take care of her babies. Come tomorrow, she will likely spend 90% of her time with the bubs in the pigloo, and only leave them to eat and drink herself. Don't worry about the baby's heat Lisa, pigs have their pups together for a reason - they will keep each other warm. Dolly keeps going back to check on her babies too. What a fabulous mummy she is :)
 
the camera has been turned off for now. if you go to the pregnancyand labour area, to the dolly thread there, you'll see why :)
 
Just turned on Dollcam and thought Dolly had packed her bags and moved out, furnishings and all. :( Then saw a big hand and realised the cleaners are in. :(|)
 
They're back and so gorgeous. Babies seem to have grown overnight. x)

How's Duke coping with all the commotion?
 
He's so bored. Dolly is too preoccupied to talk to him any more let alone smooch him through the bars! He went in the garden last evening and enjoyed himself so going to put him out for another run when it cools later. He's so sweet - I feel for him though having longer to wait.

OH and the babies - one of them squeezed through to his quarters and then couldn't get back again, so I have had to put emergency correx up which means he can't see much in there anymore.

I also think they have grown overnight, they are much more active - all apart from tiny red who it's not looking good for. Dolly will not feed her despite looking like she has plenty of milk. I've tried lap, i've tried leaving them on their own. I'm at a loss - she will not feed him.

He's taking food from me - but it's not the same.

I'm pleased the others are doing well though - even tiny white who I thought had no chance yesterday. Feeding well, happy, active and all that.
