Very sad! The two that survived the birth looked very healthy mini pigs but their passing could have been because of in breeding.

If mum didn't feed them, that could have been another reason. It is unusual for a mum to attack her babies but we don't know her background and what she has been through prior to being rescued.

We could all try to wonder why this happens because it is so sad.

I hope mum goes on ok. I am sure she will now that she is being cared for so well.

RIP little piggies xx
 
Oh no Helen - just switched on my pc for the first time since Thursday and found your email telling me about this...I was hopeful that they would be ok but am not terribly suprised they havent made it...there is obv quite a lot of inbreeding going on - I have to say right from the start i was worried about what these babies would be like...all four of the gypsy piggies I have are nervous but two of them are particularly terrified...bless their little hearts..and three that are pregnant are so small themselves! You've had a tough few days Helen so take care of yourself chuck x x x x x x x x x x>>
 
sorry to hear this happened.sometimes they are so scatty they dont produce enough milk and the babies die.i had a sow who ate her babies after they had died so perhaps she was trying to do this also? they remove the babies so they dont attract predators so if she is flighty it could have been this reason she had nibbled the babies
 
Helen love i have no words to comfort you i'm afraid, you must be heartbroken so many have gone to the bridge lately, you've tried so hard for these dear little mummies 8...8...8...
RIP Mini's run free now all together, popcorn and play like mini's love to do, fight over the parsley and long blades of grass like you would xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx You've left such an impression on us all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
