feel for her ligs right from the spine near her tail, I always second guessed myself trying to feel, but when the day finally came (after a week with little to no sleep staying with her) the ligs I was feeling were the right ones. My doe did not bag up until after the twin boys. She was a first...

Her due date was April 1st. This was taken last night. She had settled and wanted a belly rub.

NO, shes miserable though. She was constipated, I used olive oil yesterday, she finally went and now when I go out. which I have always bottle fed the kids first cuz they are babies now Miss Piggy throws a fit. Last night was the first night. she started squealing and snorting, i thought she was...

Oh My, I am sorry you had to go through all of that. I got my gilt a few months ago already prego, due date was sposed to be April 1st. Ive been a wreck, Miss Piggy is so moody, was yours at all? One day she was wanting belly rubs then the next she tries to bite or climb up my leg then lays down...

Okay I am gonna post a couple pics I took the other day. Today she just to moody to sit with her. Now the kids are so used to visiting her they stand outside her door. She will socailize through a two in gap but doesnt want them near her when her door is open. Some times Miss Piggy eats like...

No babies, just mood swings, I thought I was bad when I was prego. I can not believe how confusing piggies are. I dont get it. There are nights that I believe its going to happen then she goes through some trans or shakes and then snaps out of it, and is fine. After this if this ever happens (...

Miss Piggy loves new hay because she makes nest ( i think) she chunks it all apart puts in in a big heap then hollows out the middle and lays there. So the nest part is confusing, but just like my mama goat and her ligs I didnt know what it meant until she was in hard labor. As far as her udder...

No, Oddly enough. She is getting more and more miserable each day. Ive got two boat kids whom she loved to visit when she was getting fed or her "lovings' shed let them in her pen and sniff and eat her hay and what not. This was all good until the day before yesterday (which I thought was the...

I am so confused! Need help and advise please. As ive said in past posts Ive got a pot belly pig who was already pregnant. Ive worked with her every day so now she comes to me, wants belly rubs like lots of attention. Today I was out doing my normal rutein bottle feeding baby goats, feed water...

I went out today to spend some time with Miss Piggy after giving my baby goats there bottle. Everything was fine until I got a phone call, i was talking on the phone and still petting Miss Piggy, I stopped to switch hands and Miss Piggy jumped on my arm, i pushed her back in her little pen...

I am glad I joined the group. I wouldnt have known what to do in that situation. Now i wish I knew about my potbelly pig, who yes was given to me pregnant, she is such a sweetie. She wasnt very friendly at first, she lived with goats with not much human interaction. She is my baby now, she loves...

Lucky a day old is the first pic, the second is lucky and my cat sleeping the first night I brought Lucky in. The third pic is of the doe "Doll" and lucky outside in the pen, last pic is of Doll after getting disbudded. I am sorry. I did start a new thread. Monkey deliver twin bucklings. The...

Plus I live in central New York and it wont stop snowing and being cold, so she has a lamp because shes barely got hair and she gets cold. I can see goose bumps when I open her pens door.

Yes good luck to you and your piggy. Thank you for the reply. The woman I got her from says she seen the deed and wrote on her calendar the 1st of April. It would be cute to have Easter Piggy's yet Miss Piggy is having such a time with this, I feel bad for her. Going out this morning her milk...

Good morning to all. I have new additions to my little farm. I was bought a goat who kidded in January, so very cute and great learning experience. The mama rejected her twins, so a friend of mine helped bottle feed one of them. She also gave me a cutie of a pot belly pig about 6 months old...
