The sad reality of having livestock is that sometimes you have dead stock!!
It's piglet time on my wee farm again and today I had to make the decision to take a baby away from it's mum and feed it myself.
The poor wee thing surely is not getting enough milk from mum and it resembles a little old man with baggy skin.
I should be able to tell if there's actually something wrong with it or it's just hungry in a couple of days. It will either pick up or get worse!!!
It's lively and feisty, it keeps trying to bite my fingers, luckily I have gloves lol.
He is residing in a cat cage in front of the fire, sleeping right now but it's close to feeding time again - every 2 hours OMG I'm in for a long night.
Wish me luck!!!
Thanks for dropping by..
oh myyyyyyyyyyyy he is so precious!!!! :)
look at all his cute little hair hehehehe oh i hope he makes it! i don't know how you would deal with him getting sicker!
Momma Andy! hehehehe
Me neither - I've never had to feed a wee piggy before so I'll learn as I go ..... how hard can it be???
See how strong its will is soon!
Oh my I'm seeing it already - this little piggy will definitely go to market - it's already telling me off when I don't feed it quick enough :D
Hope he makes it.
You got me looking to see if I've done any pig pictures - this might be one but I'm not sure - I have no idea who steers my pen!
lol It does kinda look pig like :)

Aw, he's so adorable! Though I imagine by 4am, he'll be seeming much less cute.
He is very cute and very tiny - He'll be lucky if I wake up at 4am lol
If it was me, I'd probably be awake all night, and not from choice :-(
good luck! I hope he pulls through and thrives.
Thanks :) me too!!!

STOPTo support your work, I also upvoted your post!
I hope your care of it set soit off in a right path and its just that it was not getting enough food
Hard to tell yet but he's drinking and sleeping more - so hopefully!!!! :)
Fingers crossed and hoping for the best :)
Oh wow how gorgeous is he,i will come and help, would love to look after that little one :)
He slept till 4.30am when I woke him for more milk and he's straight back to sleep :)
Are you going to keep him as a pet as you will get attached :)
no I won't keep him as a pet - I think Amy will look after him for a few weeks then he will be sold like the rest :)
Ahhh poor little baby. He's so cute :(
What a cute wee piglet with the hair on him. He will make it with your loving care, Andy. ❤️ U&R
Well he's made it through the night and is now drinking from a bottle not a syringe which is great :)
