Snuffles The Hand Reared Piglet

Here is Snuffles the hand reared Saddleback piglet that was injured when my Saddleback sow Lacy was farrowing.

Snuffles and I are developing a relationship as I hand rear him. He climbs onto my lap as I give him his milk every few hours or so.

I just hope that I can give him enough milk to help him grow strong. The poor little piglet has a punctured face which makes breathing difficult and a tongue that is cut which makes suckling difficult.

I will keep you posted about the piglets progress.
