Last night Willow gave birth, and the first time mum has four piglets.
Three are doing well, but the smallest piglet, which we have named Princess is receiving special care from staff.
The adorable piglet, who has black and white markings like a panda is receiving goats milk and intensive care, and today she will start on lamb colostrum from the vet which will hopefully help her grow and thrive.
If Princess can rally it is hoped that she will be able to be reunited with her mum soon, or even Freya who is also expected to give birth this week and is Willow’s sister.
With weak piglets it is always touch and go, and sadly this is part of our life on the farm, but please keep Princess in your thoughts as we really hope this gorgeous baby pulls through.
“I joined the team in September of 2021 as a Farm Hand. This was my first proper job and the experience was very insightful as working with animals there is never a dull moment. I have always loved animals and have had many different animals growing up such as guinea pigs, rabbits, dogs and horses so I knew the animal industry was a career I would like to be involved in. Since joining Kew Little Pigs Farm I have had the opportunity to care for the animals and share my knowledge with all the customers that have visited the farm. I was promoted to Head Farm Hand in January 2023.
I look forward to my journey here at Kew Little Pigs Farm and hope to see you on the farm soon!”
