New Babies!

[PiggyOinkOink]

Glad to say that Rebecca seems to have had a trouble free pregnancy and the kiddies are all up and walking around after a few bleary eyed initial hours. Rebecca appears to be taking care of them ok and her temperament is more friendly now so I guess I have to stop calling her a bitch (which she was before lol).

Oh they are gorgeous and utterly tiny!

 

[Guinea Slave]

Omg they are so sweet! Those ears, they look enormous when their bodies are so tiny. Utterly gorgeous! Congratulations! x

 

[PiggyOinkOink]

Thanks! I am glad they seem fine and active. I was worried Rebecca might die because she is only about 20wks of age. I am going to get her companion Benji spayed/castrated so I can join them again and not have any more surprises lol

Glad that everything has gone well! The pups are lovely! Please weigh them daily. If they are below 60g (2oz) please message me or post in the pregnancy section.

Please be aware that you need to separate any boy babies at 3 weeks old to prevent the next round of accidents. It would be good if they could live with Benji at first, as that will make the separation a lot easier and less heart-breaking on them. I would wait with any family planning until you know what gender the pups are.

Mummy can now eat as much as she likes; most of that will go straight towards the milk bar. Please continue with the handful of alfalfa hay and the extra vitamin C. Make sure that she has plenty of fresh hay and some nice greens.

Stunners Glad all went well.

aww glad everything went well! Those babas are so cute! And mum is right gorgeous and so beautiful!

Thanks guys! She is taking care of them well and the kids are active, curious and about 80g each so hope they will all be ok.

I have realised that Benji is either a nyphomaniac or just lacking social graces because any piggy u introduce to him he just wants to rumblestrut all the time. I guess he will stop after a while but it's not fair on the poor piggy that has to deal with it and run around trying to get away lol I will try to see how the boys are with him in 3wks.

Awwww I love them straight away!

That's completely normal for baors.
It's just him trying to figure out the dominance role and letting them know the heirachy. When he does it just leave the piggie in with him or he'll have to start all over again if you keep taking them in and out. The piggie running away is just the one stating they submit to him when they wheek. =)

Ah, well if I put my other boar, Snoopy, in then Snoopy just attacks Benji and I have never left them for very long after that as it doesn't get any better, though Benji never attacks anyone it's only Snoopy. I guess this means that they will never get on!
