Answer
Hi Nicole

I am not a great expert on baby pigs, but, if you know how to I think it would be best to try to feed the pigs by hand. However, they will be able to eat solid food very shortly anyways.

Regarding the dad, if any of the babies are female, I would strongly suggest not putting him with them so to stop any chance of inbreeding. You will have to take on the role of mother for a few days I think.
