The piglets are doing great! Agatha ended up with 15! She only has 11 nipples so our friends took 4 to give them a chance at survival.

We had a couple close calls. At one point Agatha crushed one and we couldn't get her off of him. He was trapped under her for about 4 minutes while we moved all the other piglets and prodded mama to get her off him. He was limp when we got to him and looked dead. We tossed him off to the side but then a few minutes later we noticed he was twitching. He had a heartbeat but didn't seem to be breathing so Jacob breathed air into him and pretty soon he started to sputter. He looked confused for a couple hours and was walking in circles but by evening we couldn't even tell which one it had been. They are tough little animals.
Today some of the piggies are taking a field trip to special friends camp so the people going to camp there can see them. I will update about how that went and add some new pictures when we get home.
Thank you for keeping us up to date on your piglets...Good job, Jacob on saving that little guy!
ReplyDeleteGood job, Stetsons. How awesome to see the miracle of life and how God makes His creations so resilient. Keep up the great work. I can't wait to see how they did today at camp. What an awesome gift you all are providing.
