Yesterday, on the shortest day of the year..big fat mama pig had three babies.
I was especting that, but what we weren't expecting was that her daughter would give birth on the same day. All went well with the first lot, but I think her daughter was just too young, she's not fully grown yet and neither of her two babies made it.
The good thing is that she's snuggling up with the other babies and sharing them with her mum, which must make it easier for her. her mum was incredibly supportive when she had her babies, and did her best to help, licking them etc, but it wasn't meant to be.
Anyway the 3 babies left are doing well, and looks like I will need to start making ANOTHER cage for all these babies once they have grown a bit.
