// About
1. Skip the Bottle: Instead of traditional bottle-feeding, opt for pan feeding or syringe feeding for a gentler approach.
2. Get Colostrum ASAP: The first week is critical, especially if your piglet is weak. Don't hesitate to seek out colostrum from local farmers or online sources.
3. Keep Warm: Provide a cozy environment with heat lamps to ensure your piglet stays warm and comfortable.
4. Transition to Feed: Around five weeks, introduce solid feed alongside milk or water. Let your piglet explore and decide when it's ready for real food.
5. Maintain Mama's Scent: Avoid rejection by reintroducing the piglet to its littermates and mother gradually, ensuring it retains Mama's scent.

Caring for piglets is both rewarding and challenging, but seeing them thrive makes it all worth it! 🌟 Don't forget to like, share, and leave your questions in the comments. Let's empower each other to raise healthy and happy piglets! 🌱💪
