Hog Hunting in Southeast Louisiana

Piglets

Gotta question. My cousin shot a big sow this morning with a litter of piglets. When we got to the sow we were able to grab two piglets/shoats. They still have there racing stripes. What do I need to feed them to fatten them up. Are they old enough drink and eat by themselves? I've heard milk and corn meal or milk and puppy chow. Anyone done this any advice would be appreciated.

Pigets

Caught two very small ones yrs ago. Was in your same shoes. I was told by a wildlife rehabilitater to use a product called Esbilac which is a milk replacement for fur bearers. I mixed it with Gatorade. They love the taste and it (gatorade) has electrolytes which are good for them.

After a few days I would mix the Esbilac with Gatorade and Gerber powdered baby food in a box I purchased from any Piggly Wiggly.

This keeps them healthy and satisfied as they grow extremely fast and have huge food demands.

Esbilac is still available.

PM me if you want, would be glad to be of help.

BTW, my male went from roughly 2.5 lbs to 165 lbs in 10 months. I know this for a fact as he was officially weighed at that time.
