Our Bottle Feeding Piglets

Not every time everything goes right.

We could see it coming, that there would be some problems with the birth-giving of our Lourdes. The teats were to much marked, to big in an early stadium

Birth came and started with two death births. There came three more piglets but in intervals of more than 2 hours – an abnormal behaviour.

One was a very, very small and more fragile and tiny piglet. It didn’t survive.

The milk got somewhat hard.

We decided to slaughter our saw Lourdes before it would be too late. The two male piglets became orphaned and they are now bottle-fed by Gerlinda.

We named them Tom & Jerry (Tom is the white one and Jerry the coloured one). Today they are 2 1/2 weeks old.
