Little Phoenix excited for his pepper.

He will move in with one of my gentle older boys in a few days.

Mom will return to the fleece pen to gain her confidence back.

Enjoy his antics. 🐾😍🐾

Phoenix is three weeks old today, Monday.

Normally I would be weaning baby boys away from mom, to protect mom. I am going to leave him with her for a few more days. I have not seen any signs of boy behavior, but I will be watching carefully.

He is still a small guy. He has grown some, but is the size of week old baby. I don’t believe she is feeding him, she has not really had a good supply of milk for him. He is eating well for himself now. He does get comfort from her, and is often snuggling with her. Mom is small too, likely from getting pregnant as a baby.

My plan is to move him in a few days, and let him hang out with one of my older guys. Mom will move back to the fleece pen to gain confidence back with the other girls, then she will be able to find her forever family. She may have a family waiting for her…

It has been a journey for sure for Phoenix and mom. It hasn’t been easy for either of them, but the future looks bright.

Phoenix will stay here until I am sure he is growing well. Tomorrow I will post a video of him getting very excited for his pepper. He LOVES his veggies and hay.

Have a great Tuesday guys……🐾🌼🐾

Quick update on Phoenix.

Over the weekend he started to nibble some veggies and hay. This is great news. He is progressing, just a little slower than other babies…

He still has a lot of growing to do. He is still tiny, but he is moving in the right direction.

Keep going little guy…

The page was quiet for a few days. Life was a little busy here and I took time away from social media. I will check all messages and respond to them today…

I have one pair of baby boys looking for their lives of love and veggies. This will be the last babies for a little while….I will post them in the page again later today..

Have a great evening guys…🐾🌼🐾

Update on Lily’s little boy.

He hand fed well over the weekend. He soon got the hang of having his milk through a syringe. I hand fed him every two hours around the clock for a few days, so he could get strong again. Today he was strong enough to pester mom again, and good news she is feeding him right now…She does not have a lot of milk so he has to work for it.

Hopefully now he can work on growing. He is tiny, but he was running around today. I am more hopeful this side of the weekend that he will be ok. I am watching and keeping an eye on him..

I am working with Lily, to get her calmer again. for some reason this birth made her flighty. My hope is over the coming weeks her nervousness will dissipate.

So this little guy has his name. You guys suggested and voted on a name for him. There were so many awesome names, thank you. You guys voted for Phoenix. I think that is a great name too. So here is little Phoenix late tonight. I am showing you his good side lol, as he is still recovering from a hay poke to his other eye.

Had more excitement here today that needed my attention. One of my own girls developed diarrhea. Ugh…not sure why. She lives with two other girls who are fine. I can only think it was something she ate that disagreed with her. I did switch up my hay this time, maybe her body did not like that. She also had watermelon yesterday, so maybe that did not agree with her. Either way she was not eating today, so I have been hand feeding her and giving some pro biotics and electrolytes, charcoal etc. I am about to feed her again before I go to bed for a few hours. I am hoping she will feel better in the morning.

So Pheonix has improved since Friday..and that is good news. We need him to start growing now….🐾😀🐾

Jade and Ruby have their family waiting to meet them later this week.

The girls get a new start in life with a family that will love and cherish them. No more being dumped in a field…They have happy piggy lives ahead of them.

The girls have been here six weeks tomorrow…going to miss them, but so happy they will have their own family to bring them love and veggies.

Thank you….🐾🌼🐾
