Don't think we'll ever be able to tell them apart! ?/
 
They are adorable and so is Tilda. I love their ears.
 
They're gorgeous! Looks like they'll all be himalayan then? x) I love Himis, my old piggy Devlin was one.

I was wondering if that was a dominant gene, thought it might be, but Moxie's dad was himi and his mom was roan and all the babies were roan too (I got him from a family with missexed pet shop pigs) . . . I'm a bit of a nerd, I find genetics so interesting . . . :)) though don't know that much about it for piggies!
 
AWWW - looks like you have got a handful of little himis! I love the little adventurous one. You will have to put different coloured dots on their backs - like sheep... :)

Tilda is beautiful and I hope that she can recover well from her breeding!

My girls had been talking about putting coloured dots on them earlier! :)):))

Everyone (Georga, yesterdays Mum, as well) are going to the RSPCA tomorrow, as the vet is going for the weekly check of all the animals. Both girls have things that need treatment, but they couldn't before with being pregnant!
 
Awww so gorgeous and small! Tilda is beautiful, hope they're all doing well! :)

I had 2 white babies but as late as 2 years the colour was still changing! Luckily they jhad slightly different ears when babies so I always knew who was who but as they got older the male developed grey rear end - took me by surprise - I thought he was grubby at first!

Hi Suzanne! They are all PEWs! We only had them for a few days, before they returned to the RSPCA, while we went on our hols. Going to collect them tomorrow. Can't wait to see the babies - they'll seem huge! x
 
Absolutely gorgeous little babies, what a good looking bunch. Mummy is sooo pretty to. I never used to like Himis but I'm begining to be taken over to their side lol.

Have been wondering about that myself? Really don't know, maybe one of our experts on here could answer that?

Himi's are born all PEW and their colouring develops, i remember reading on an old GP forum the development of Himi colour with some photo's of babies as it did so. The a slightly off white, yellowy brown develops about the nose and toes before their darker patch of fur.
 
6 babies WOW they are gorgeous. We had a himi years ago and his colour developed as he got older, his smut was also darker in the winter than in the summer months!

We currently have a little dark eyed white sow staying with us and she has just had 3 little white babies. One has grey tips on his ears but his other two brother are identical, they even weigh the same so I have put a tiny dot of nail polish on one of their back claws so I can tell one from the other!
 
Oh my goodness, they are all so cute especially their ears! When I was a child my piggie called Rosie had 6 pups. Rosie was tired and sadly one of the babies died but the other 5 grew up healthy and were homed successfully. Sadly I have no pics to share as that was in 1990!
