This is our little sow, poor thing. Shes so thin, we actually weighed her at 270g and shes apparently 12 weeks old. Her cheeks look sunken in to me.
Her eyes are bright and her coat is very clean and shiny.

She does tend to squint her eyes sometimes, is this because her eyes are sensitive to the lights because of her pink eyes?

She still doesn't have a name, more ideas please!

No nasty/negative comments please. Would like to keep this a pleasant thread, thanks.x>>

She's teenie tiny! 270g? ?/

She's a beautiful colour too! It's a little hard to tell, is she bald around her eyes, or is it white fur? I believe that baldness can be a sign of malnourishment? Although saying that, 270g at 12 weeks is sign enough :(

Hopefully now she has a good diet, she'll grow and plump up nicely. Loving the kangaroo feet in the 4th photo x)
 
Aww how sweet is she x) so tiny though, thank goodness you rescued her.

I doubt the squinting is due to her eye colour. Three of my girls have pink / red eyes and they don't squint.

Thanks. She has a lot of energy so shes not that weak.
Its just white fur around her eyes.

Tink does sometimes in the sun :)
 
She's gorgeous x) I hope your other girls are Ok with her when they get to meet, hopefully they'll fall in love with her like you did :)
No name suggestions tho, I'm rubbish with names and had to ask on here for name ideas for my piggies :))
 
She is so cute but she looks so small like she was not cared for well.:( Thank goodness she is with you now and will be loved and well cared for.
 
Aww she gorgeous, shes a lovely colour x) At least she has a nice home now i bet in a few weeks she will be demanding her veggies ;)
 
Awwwwwwww bless, what a sweetheart, wishing her a healthy and happy future x
 
What a little sweetie. I have a couple of piggies with eyes the same colour as your little girl and they can squint at times as well. I'm sure she'll thrive now. It'll be lovely to see her again in a couple of months time. I bet we'll see a big difference in her.
 
oh my goodness she's sooooooooo small! I remember I got Jemima at 6 weeks and she was 300g and considered underweight but that didn't last long and she soon piled it on. I hope your beautiful little girl does as well and that you settle on a name soon
 
You are so lucky to have her, and she is lucky to have you...a perfect match. She is really really CUTE!

I love her color :)

my friend's daughter named one of her stuffed toys 'mouse mouse' I always thought that was a really cute name.
 
x) Aw, she's gorgeous and looks just like my Lily-Lilac who was a tiny runty piggy (also a roan)
She is now one of the porkiest piggies (1300g+) we have albeit still a bit nervous of us hoomans and best buddies with our cheeky Olivia, they're always snuggled up together.
Well done for taking her in and look forward to lots of lovely updates with her xx>>>
 
She's absolutely gorgeous x)
 
Her coat colour is gorgeous id call her ... Mercedes, or something like that something girly but strong... Erm what about tiana ?
 
270g is absolutely shocking - one of my sows was only 200g when we got her. You have to look at the positives, she'll have a wonderful life with you now and that's all that matters....

Looking forward to seeing more pics of this girl as she grows x)x)
 
Oh she's so pretty x)x)x)
Whee hope that she gains weight and noms up all her food....... will look forward to more pigtures....... xoxo
