Question
Hello, My husband brought home two baby piglets from a hunting trip. I bought some goats milk but I am having trouble getting them to drink it, I am warming it to 110*, I have tried a bowl and a bottle with no luck.any suggestions? They are really young and I am worried about them.

Answer
You don't need to warm it.
Instead get a big shallow pan and allow them to walk in it and use your fingers to get them to taste it.
This is called "Pan feeding".
Goats milk is the best, they will not starve!
Aren't feral pigs great?
