Sorry to keep bugging you guys. It's just after Scuzzy's death I'm in paranoia mode about my new piggies. I'm trying to get my piggies used to being held vertically for when the time comes to trim their nails. Upon doing this I saw that Dahlia's nipples really stick out and one is pink while the other is a dark brown. They aren't crusty at all like I've seen in some pictures as to when something is wrong, but Iris just has two tiny nubs, so I was wondering if there's something wrong after all. I've had them for 43 days; is it a pregnancy sign? Iris was the runt of the litter so I can't really compare that way either since Iris may always be smaller than Dahlia even though I go to extra lengths so she gets enough food.
 
Not really sure to be honest. My Esme who has had at least one litter (before me adopting her I add) has very obvious nipples, Tia her daughter are very small and Ruby's are hidden by her fur.
Hopefully in a few hours when the rest of the UK is awake you nay get some answers x
