Just checking to see if this is normal, we picked up three feeder pigs this last Sunday, the farmer said they had been weaned for over a week when we got them. They were all up and around, there were fifteen for us to choose from, I picked out three that were larger and very active and we took them home.
We wanted them to help clear an area as they root, so I put them in an area 50x50, gave them feed & water. When we first put them in the pen they seemed excited to root. Well I leave for work before 6am and don’t get home until almost 6pm so all week all I have seen them do is sleep. My boys water them everyday so I’m not sure how much water they are drinking, but the feed has been eaten but not that much. So I guess I am just worried because all I see them do is sleep, I know all babies sleep a lot, that’s when they do their growing, but I just need to know there is nothing I should be worried about. Thanks for your input.
