Question
One of our Pigs has just had a litter of 2 - is there anything I need to do for mother and babies?

thanks a panicking sarrogate mum


Answer
Just make sure that the mom gets plenty of vitamins in her diet, I like to add vitamins to my pigs' water bottles, also make sure she gets plenty of produce- apples, green pepper, cucumber, tomato, kale, collards, and romaine and leaf lettuce. Most momma pigs also like a place to hide, an igloo, or just a baby blanket will due. Also you can add some uncooked oatmeal in the cage, and lots of hay, both babies and mom will eat this. Let me know if you have any more questions, I will be glad to answer them.
