Hello,

Ive been bad and taken in another piggie. ") She popped into work not long before i left today with the RSPCA. Little sow who has been nicknamed Humbug was left abandoned today in a filthy cage and brought into the center. Being so skinny but also bloated they popped her into work for the vets to take a look. I am pretty sure the poor little mite is in the early stages of pregnancy and one of the vets agreed. So instead of letting her go back to the rehoming center to sit alone in a cage i decided to take her home as I've had a few rescues with litters before. The poor little girl is 307g. Probably making her 8-12 weeks old due to her being so underweight and malnourished. Shes bright though and took the journey home on the train all in her stride and was screaming on the platform after hearing me rustle a bag... she'll fit right in. Just a case now of feeding her up carefully with some alfalfa and veg. She was hungry :( Just slightly concerned by her roan markings, fingers crossed i am wrong about the pregnancy or she wasn't mated with a roan boar. Will keep you all posted - shes currently settled in her cage snoozing in the hay.

Here she is...

She's gorgeous, poor little scrap. But she's so tiny I really do hope she's not pregnant. I look forward to following her progress.
 
She's a little precious - I'm so glad she's got you to look after her. Really hope all goes well for her.
 
She's gorgeous and very lucky to have you as her rescuer. :)
 
Oh my goodness - she's so beautiful x)
What a lucky girl she is that you have her in your care, makes me shudder and so angry that the ones who mistreat animals breathe the same air as we do :)>>>
Paws crossed she's not pregnant...:(
 
Fingers firmly crossed for the little scrap of a girl! At least, she has landed in the best place possible.
 
Bless her, what a pretty girl x)

So glad she has found her way to you. She is in the best of hands. Fingers crossed she is not pregnant
 
Aw she looks like how Maple looked when she was younger except Maple is ginger and black. Atleast she's in good hands now and hopefully she isn't pregnant!
 
What a beautiful little piggy, she's so small bless her! So glad she's with you, fingers crossed she's not pregnant. Hope all goes well with her.
 
Hello all.

I have been meaning to pop over to tell you all how this little one has been getting on. She is quite a character to say the least. But i am very happy to tell you that she isnt pregnant. Yay! She is doing so very well and gained a nice bit of weight. She beats the entire herd on her noise level at dinner times. And i am also very excited to say that she has found a companion to live with for the rest of her days. A friend with a lone sow (who recently lost her neutered boarfriend) will be taking her under her wing and will be heading to her new companion and home anytime soon. I am going to miss the little munchkin, shes lovely, but deserves a good friend and home away from my crazy household. : )
