Thank you, Womble is fine and is a great mum and of course they've got Auntie Moomin to cuddle up to as well! :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:

Womble is eating like a horse and is being fed so many times a day at the moment - she just can't get enough!

Do you know if Moomin is pregnant two? You keeping all the babies? I couldn't part with them, they are so cute. x

Vikki came to see them today and it's possible Moomin is pregnant too - but she's not huge so maybe just one or two babies. Was really hoping she wasn't but if she is at least she's getting lots of good food etc (in fact she steals it from Womble).

Some babies will stay here and I have someone that would love to have 2 of them - so they won't be going anywhere else. If Moomin has some too we'll just have to squeeze them in! They're in my sitting room so I get to watch them all evening - haven't done much else today!

Your so lucky. did you see the birth? I watch my sow give birth 10yrs ago and it was amazing.
 
No, she waited until I was at work! After days of me sleeping with the door open so that I could hear if she started grunting! 98) Typical! Would love to have seen it, bet it's really special. But I came home to 4 clean perfect babies like they had always been there!

Awww all these pic's of piggy babies is getting me dead excited :D

There are so beautiful!

My 2 are in my living room as well tho go away next weekend she better not pop them I wont be impressed :( x
 
Oh I hope they don't arrive while you're away! Fingers crossed.

Moomin is being very tetchy and I should think if she has them she'll make sure I'm not around! Sows eh.

Oh how sweeeet ~ Love the last piccie :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
 
They're quite little, only 60-70g - but all a similar size, so no really runty ones. Hopefully they'll soon start growing!
They're very active though so hopefully ok.

Don't know how they ever fitted inside her though - must have been tight for space in there! :-\

Its hard to believe isnt it that they all fitted inside. :smitten:
 
Hard to believe they are born so ready to go! They really do hit the ground running, so to speak! It's amazing isn't it?

:smitten: :smitten: :smitten:

Gorgeous family. Mummy is very beautiful too. What is dad like? :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
 
How gorgeous! :smitten: They do like big! I saw some minis today and they were a week old and didn't look as big. Mum had 4 too! Hard to believe they can grow into massive pigs! ;D
 
They are beautiful.
I saw a litter being born once and it was awe inspiring.
I had to act as midwife though, one of the live babies was coming behind a dead baby and the dead baby had sort of wrapped itself around the live one, so I had to gently pull as mum pushed.
Luckily that baby had a big head, so wasnt too tricky.
Obviously it was sad to see the dead baby, but youre so joyful because of these perfect little miniatures that your breath is just taken away.
They really are perfect when they come out.
Having seen baby hamsters born (when I was a kid) and seeing how pink and needy they are, to see these perfectly furred critters, with teeth and nails, that were wandering around looking around the cage and nibbling on hay within the hour...well, its a miracle.
I hope you get to see Moomin deliver her babies.
Dont be fooled by size though, Ive known of huge sows to give birth to two and one sow that looked barely pregnant, but she gave birth to four babies, and the lightest of the litter was 108g ish, so dont be fooled that it might just be a couple.
Obviously it could be, but could be hiding well in her body.
Good luck and awwwwwwwwwww @ Wombles womblettes.

OMG I am sooo in looove! :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: they are soooooo gorgeous mmmmm :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
PIGNAP! >:D :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: ;D
 
These little guys are total cuties! I was so lucky to meet them yesterday wheile they are so small, nearly got elvis to stow away in my jumper! Was lovely seeing you all :smitten:
 
I did weigh them on day 1 but my scales are not the most accurate - they are all between 60-70g but have grown a lot in the last 2 days and don't look so skinny now as when they were born. They are running around like mad things so I think they're quite ok! Very relieved they were all born alive and that Womble is ok. Nice Easter babies!
