[Gpdd] [BREEDING] Handling babies

[DebJonSara at aol.com]

When the five "mamans" I rescued in January started having their babies, I 
picked them all up to check them as soon as I saw them. Their mums were totally 
"wild" really, having simply been kept in outdoor hutches and used as 
baby-making machines, but they didn't seem to mind my handling the babies - even 
though they themselves were pretty scared of me. 

Baby piggies are amazing - such exact miniature replicas of adult pigs from 
day one. It is so very different from newborn rabbits, which are blind and bald 
at birth.

Enjoy your babies - pick them up and give them food in your hands from an 
early age - and take loads of photos, because they are so cute, and grow up so 
quickly!
