Pigeeeeez!

Here are two videos for you. Ignore that fact that I babble like an idiot (and two octaves higher than usual!) throughout.





In the end Ophelia delivered seven live babies and one stillborn. Three black, two pink with spots. And I am no expert pig sexer, but it seems pretty obvious to me that there are five girls and two boys!


And these little suckers can MOTOR!


All sacked out under the heat lamps.



They are too adorable!!

  3. They're so small and adorable. I didn't realize they'd be so mobile so soon.

    I chuckled at your commands to the piglets. "Don't go swimming! You'll drown."

  4. I love the little black one that's the cuddler. And is it me or do they look like they are smiling? Hope Ophelia is enjoying motherhood. Deb

  5. Love the way their eyes half close in contentment when they feed, and Momma Ophelia's little grunts!

  7. They're pretty cute compared to their mother! It doesn't take them long to become active or grow.

  9. Piglets are very 'cute'; and then they grow up!

  10. That was delightful. I wish I were clever enough to take movies and post them. I can get them into my photo files but that is all I have figured out.

    Oh well, that might not tell all. Thus: This made me smile, and I am smiling all the time since I have started this.
    And yes, I am smiling when thinking of Louise. A fine dog she was. And a fine life you let her live.
    Re Sri Lanka, hm, well, yes ... I was smiling.
    The peace of the night
    and many lovely days to come.

  14. Ophelia is doing an udderly wonderful job of nourishing her young. These little piglets look like adult pigs in miniature, it's very cool.
