OMG OMG OMG!!! You named a pig after me!! OMG! :-) (Whether you meant to or not, :-p)

All charts look great. You are going to keep them (since they are girls), no?

Lynx -- Tallulah was just a baby herself. I suspect if the blanks in the chart were filled in (I will guess KK did not want to risk picking her up, which was very wise), it would look more normal.

How is Tallulah behaving?

Yes, since they are all girls the babies will be staying. Tallulah was just a baby and did have a dramatic weight loss, it wasn't documented because, due to her size (very small) I stopped picking her up for weighing almost as soon as I realized she was pregnant, both for her safety and my own (she began biting)

She's acting very well, very active and she's a fantastic mother. She seems to have come into her own and is very much people oriented now. The babies are of course, adorable and are very active and full of personality.

There is approximately a 6 week or so gap in Tallulah's weight chart.

I'm freaking paranoid that I did this wrong. I *think* they're girls, but I sooooo want them to be girls.

I took some photos and I hope y'all can help, but the babies are very, very, squirmy. They have girl names right now because I'm going away tomorrow and a pet sitter is coming in to care for them so I wanrted them to have names, and I *think,pray,hope* they're girls.

Are you still in Philly? I'll be in Pennsauken tomorrow so I could try and meet you and check

I keep checking and checking too.

I can feel a definite ridge with Loki, who I therefore think to be male. If I gently feel right above the genitals there is this hard tiny bump that goes up his body.

My two girls look different to him, but also different to each other, but I cannot feel any ridge with them.
They also look different to your girls!

This sexing thing can drive a person mad!

Seraphnjil, I'm at home for now, but we're leaving for Schwenksville tomorrow morning/afternoonish to go to the Folk Fest.

I feel nothing like a ridge on either of them, and they look the same to each other I think.

piggies are having playtime now so I will check them again when I put them back into their cage, but Loki defo feels different from the other two and if all males have this ridge, it is something you cannot really not feel unless, of course, when it is not there.

I never felt this ridge before, but I felt it on Loki, so there's pretty much no mistaking it when its there.

Well that sounds good to me! I'd love for them to both be girls, and I just went and felt them again, definitely nothing like a ridge. Is 11 days old, old enough to feel a ridge?

What I can see looks pretty female but larger photos would have helped a lot (there is some possible loss of detail so I can't be positive).

Oh yeah you should definitely be able to feel a ridge. Usually you can feel a ridge as soon as they are born.
