| Ella the piglet Winter 2009  We receive an urgent call. A three week old potbellied piglet was bought on impulse off Craigslist for $100. The man had her 24 hours and no longer wanted her. He wanted to resell her on Craigslist. She was given to family members who had her four days and could not keep her. They found Pigs Peace website and we said yes to this tiny orphan. Three week old Ella was brought to sanctuary and starts her life in the house with Bubba the pig. Piglets are unable to regulate their body temperature and must have a warm environment. They are fed goat milk as a mother's milk replacement every 2 hours around the clock. At about five weeks of age they will be interested in bites of solid food.   |
