The smallest, i am concerned about this one as he is so small against the others and isn't as steady.
Called Larry at the moment as it looks like a lamb

Aw sweet! Asti has a smaller girl in her litter of 4 whom was much smaller and still is, but she's getting larger and larger!

Do try to let the smallest one have time alone with the mummy pig so it can have all the milks it wants without much competitions.
 
OMG they are so tiny and cute!
 
wow they are cute, I never knew piggies had hair that tiny! Or that they had open eyes (sorry my only animal baby experiance is puppies so I'm a little thick when it comes to piggies) They are very very cute, how long does mum have to feed them for before they can eat food?
 
My Barley was teeny tiny when she was born, and very definitely the runt of the litter when I first met her at a couple of weeks. Now she's about 5 weeks, still about 35g lighter, but has decided that she shall be Alpha Sow anyway and bosses her sister around no end. :D
 
What a sweet little trio! Sorry that you lost one.

Have you been able to weigh them yet? I would do so daily to make sure that they are all thriving until they have switched to adult food after 2-3 weeks old.

If the runt is under 60g, you should try to give him extra. Mushed hay based pellets are not bad. Some rescue give cubes of wholemeal bread, soaked in full fat goats milk. Under 50g, and Larry needs topping up with hand feeding to give him a chance. He will hopefully steady over the course of the day.

Best of luck!

Yep they have been weighed, their weights are in another thread. They are doing fine :) only dropped a couple of gram each so that's good and "Larry" is certainly first in line at the milk bar :)
