Incubating Piglets now?

[RiverGoddess]

So my Potbelly Pig had 4 babies at night a couple days ago, and 3 were not alive but this little one was barely breathing/moving
So we swept her up, and I immediatly put her in my incubator to get her warm..... Well I checked on her an hour later, and really thought she wouldn't have made it. BUT WOW she was warm, and making small grunts.

So we are bottle feeding and keeping her temp stable in the incubator?
Then I was going to raise in the brooder with my ducks n goslings....
I do not know if she will make it, but she was barely alive when we found her, now she is running snorting, eating, n squealing.
I also am the one she likes to pee on.

So any advice or helpful tips on incubating piggies?

Aw! She is so cute and tiny. She looks like a little chicklet. I hope she makes it. She needs a name that has to do with chicks or chickens.

Awww! That's so sweet. What a tiny baby. I have no experience with piglets but I'm sure she'd be fine in there for now. Then set up a brooder. I hope she makes it!

You'd have to spell it "Hamlette" like "omlette".

Its a girl & I was going to name her Hope (because I hope she makes it) But I just LOVE Hamlette ! So creative and cute

Well she sure is fiesty, I was going to put her in the brooder but she is maintaining a 98.5 temp in my bator. She is doing very well in there. I just want her to get strong enough to move her out. She really is tiny, she fits in my hand.

I do not think if she makes it I will be able to keep her, because I raise my pigs for meat. I am already thinking about how to litter box train a pig

I am glad my hubby does not read BYC !!!

I would to hatch a baby gator or turtle now since I have hatched a piglet
