[QUOTE="farm princess, post: 541439, member: 3996"] I raised one, who was the runt of her liter. Momma had 16 pigs and she was small and almost certain to die. I had brought others to the house, when they needed it but they generally died, so my house became known as the "house of death". So when I brought "Weenie" over, I just thought she would live a few days to a few weeks at the most. She was fed out of a pan instead of a bottle (easier to get them off of, and she didn't like the bottle). She had milk replacer at first then after a small bit of research, I found that giving them kayro syrup (it gives them extra energy) would help them. Then she was started on food. She hated the pellets, so she was given a mixture of that and grapes with the skins peeled off. As she grew she started on the dog food and anything else she could eat. Kids loved it cause when they didn't want something, they knew to give it to her and she would get rid of the stuff, no matter what it was!! :P She started living outside when she got big enough, but then was all of a sudden anti men and especially the ones who wore work boots!! :shock: She would take a man down in a heartbeat if they had them on!! It was so funny!! Especially since the men all thought they could take her on!! Boy was they wrong!! The kids on the other hand could ride on her and she was very gentle with them unless they sat too far up on her back, then she would give them a heck of a ride!! She finally got moved to the pen with the other girls and done great. My husband won't let me take anymore of them runts in the house, since she made it!! And now that we are taking care of his Grandma she says I can't bring them in either!! ;-) [/QUOTE]
