Oh I am really sorry, RIP little sweeties, Hope Tinkerbell is ok.
 
tinkerbells had some goats milk and i put bart in with mum (the stronger one) it looked like he was feeding a little before going to weigh him just to make sure mums following him a little going to wait till tinks is abit stronger and try her again with mum xx
 
I am so sorry about your loss.

Best of luck with Tinkerbell. Please keep feeding her little, but often - if necessary throughout the night. Keep her warm and comfy and weigh her daily to see whether she is thriving. Ideally, she should put on 3-5g daily.

Bart is on the small side as well and could do with some extra feeding as well to boost his chances. Please weigh him and his mummy daily, too, to make sure that he is getting enough.

If you can, bring them all into the house where they won't lose much needed calories just by trying to keep warm.

Good news, and I hope that she can make it with your good care!
 
i keep cleaning her bits to make her want to go to the toilet after each feed but she still hasnt done anything xx
 
i tend to rub in a circular motion :red:)) when toileting them , make sure the cotton wool is damp and keep rubbing until you here him wheek this is him weeing or pooping, keep rubbing until he stops wheeking x

oh also after each feed rub his tummy-massarge it this helps to stop him getting bloat
 
ok will do just topped bart up god i feel like ive got twins plus ive got 2 children of my own plus chloes babys there 4week old but 2 of them keep **** this shield over the eyes so I'm bathing that plus my 12 other guineas. Bart is toileting i think lolas been cleaning him as he pooped before before i topped him up does that mean hes definately getting milk from lola? xx
 
I'm not sure that Bart is getting milk (probably - you have to see yourself), but his guts are working and mummy seems to be caring for him, which is a vey good sign!
 
will just keep topping bart up then he does keep going under her and it looks like hes feeding his head is tilted towards the nipple lola doesnt seem as jumpy like she was yesterday. tinks seems to have a little more balance than this morning xx
 
I am so sorry to read some babies didn't make it.
I have no experience of pregnant piggies, you've had some wonderful advice and you are doing great.
Well done for helping Bart and tinkerbell.

Sending lots of love to mum and babies x
 
I've only just come to this thread and I have no experience of mums and babies but I wanted to say that I'm sure you're doing an excellent job and my boys and I are sending lots of prayers up for you and your piggies x x
 
Good lord, 12 pigs and another pregnant? I can barely find enough hours in the day to look after our two, I don't know how you do it.

Best of luck with the newborns, I really hope they make it.
 
put tinks in with mummy and after a while mumm started cleaning her both babies were under mummy before but not sure if they were feeding so still going to continue doing top ups for now and weigh them daily xx
 
Hi Jennian,

I've been reading your ordeal with these sweet little piggies and although I'm fairly new to piggies, I can't really give any advice. Everything I've read so far seems to be brilliance advice to me.

Wiebke and others here helped me soo much back in April, that I don't think Daisy would have lasted as long as she did.

You ARE doing a brilliant job and you can only do the best that you can. I'm praying and keeping fingers crossed that all will be well and that Mum will soon bond.

Are you able to show us any piccies?

Take care.

Beth xx
 
had to take tinks out last night she was bad on her balance again so i wrapped her up and put a warm water bottle under her and fed her in the night her balance is still abit bad shes gained 3g when i weighed her this morning less tham 24 hours since i weighed her last so atleast she is gaining xx
