Oh my gosh, I'm such an Iowa farm girl
I thought you got a baby pig as in a real pig.........I grew up on a pig farm, and yes it smelled terribly.

It's so cute though!!!! I've never seen that kind of baby pig! They are so small and cute!!!


Edit: I guess I missed the part when you said it was just born!!!! WOW is it big for a one day old!!!

I totally thought it was going to be a pig pig. I still thought that at first since my brouser window was so small.

I am surprised too, I did not know that they were born with fur and their eyes open, I thought they would be pink like a baby mouse.

Aww! Congrats


I also thought it was an actual pink piggy when I first read the heading!


Still, baby is a cutie!

What a big baby! It really pays off being the only baby and getting all the nutrition! If you want to know the sex, take a pic of the piggie's underside and post it here. I can tell you what it is, its very easy for me to tell without having to poke and prod things, I have 15 years experience.
