N.B these babies were not bred by me, I received the sow heavily pregnant.. she was taken to the pet store I work at and I took her home (they tried to give two pregnant sows to the store to sell). Their mum is a rex cross. These babies were born yesterday morning between 7.50 and 9am (I was cleaning pens downstairs) They are the smallest babies I've had born to me here, at birth the smallest was 50g, at the moment they have lost a LOT of weight (smallest now 45g) am sub feeding them every 3 hours as much as they will take. They are refusing most of it but I'm managing to average .5ml each! Notice the match in some of the baby pics and yes, the EGG CUP is a standard size! Mum and baby Got Chocolate Milk? with a standard 1ml Syringe Match Abby sow in egg cup Rex boar in egg cup

That was my first thought Bubbles, if they were premmy but they aren't. Mum isn't very big herself and I had a feeling she had three. I also though she would have a lot longer to go in her pregnancy too. They are all doing really well and are slowly gaining weight! Will take some more snaps today

Like the bubs I just had born so small but they manage to survive the little fighters. Good luck with them, it looks like you are doing an excellent job.
