aw the're so cute especially the little black one I'm sure you'll succeed in raising them Lynn we'll keep our fingers crossed that Tuppence takes them on as hers bless her if not you'll be having a few late night feeds and early morning ones too they really are gorgeous.

all is well so far, they got through the night and are alot better than yesterday, they taking about 3mls 5 times a day, Tuppence isnt exactly 'loving' with them but then again she wasnt with her own!! but at least shes allowing them to follow her around and shes letting them take food off her, and they are learning behavours from her. I am not actually keeping the babies, (I have enough of my own!) the owner wants them back she just didnt know what to do with them, once they are toiletting themselves and eating well they will go back so Im trying not to get attached. The owner has called them Bubble (lemon agouti/white sow) Sqeek (black boar) and Fudge (brindle boar I think but hes tiny!)
will keep you posted ...

thanks for the vote of confidence Sue - fingers crossed, they seem gutsy little characters bless them and getting the hang of syringe feeding, you would think they had never eaten in their life they way they grab it!! ha!
I know the little Fudge is very cue I have to say, I think there isa bit of abby (he has 4 rosettes I think) and some of his coat is curly too - so I think hes gonna be funky!!
Hows your lttle orphans doing?

Our 3 little black-eyed creams are doing well. They were about 2 weeks when their Mum passed on, so they had a very good chance.

These little bubs are doing soo well now and are getting big, I went to see them yesterday and they are so tame too bless, the owners have decided not to keep them and Im very tempted ... but got to be sensible!!
SUE - I have been trying to mail you with pic but my pc playing up - anyway I just wanted to check I got the right baby you want!! Its the middle one in the first photo and the 2nd and 3rd photo aswell - correct?? thought I better check before I ring the owners. Its a little sow and I think she has about 5 rosettes, def 2 rump rosette with forward growing coat and looks like she is going to be semi longhair, very cute!! let me know and I can bring her on Sat
