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.
