If your pig starts acting restless, foams a little at the mouth, and builds a next like this, it doesn't mean she has rabies.... it means you are about to have piglets.
We put some hay out for our gilt thinking she needed extra material to build a nest and we were amazed at what she did with it! First she built it. Then....
She buried herself in it. All we could see was her snout sticking out. She did this for a couple of days. Then....
The next thing we knew, the piglets were being born. This little guy was the first one born. Eventually 11 more joined him.
Do you see the runt on the right? He was too small to hang with the rest so he is being raised in a cardboard box in the house.
