Thanks, Weaver!

The shelter she was in used to be pretty good about not euthenizing animals, but - well, let's just leave it at that.

What a cutie she is! I'm glad you were able to save her.

Candy's a real honey of a pig!

I just sat with her in my lap, feeding her a baby carrot, and she was giving all the happy pig signs.

I think she may have arthritis, because she shivers, and she's so thin she feels birdlike. But at least she's here where it's nice and warm, and the food is good and plentiful.

She's certainly not 'skittish' as told to me by the shelter (at least no more than any other pig). I hope that when she gains some weight she can be paired up with another sow - she could really do with a nice warm body to snuggle with!

Candy is adorable. I'm so glad you were able to rescue her. I know in no time that you will fatten her up.

I hate it when people take only one pig from a bonded pair.

With weather like this! It's always a good time to snuggle up with a hefty piggie =)

She looks like a Bee. The other "sister" was the same color right? I think she is beautiful, and you both are lucky!

She's gorgeous. I have a soft spot for black and orange abbies. Fingers crossed she's just a little undernourished.

Maybe I just have small pigs? All my female pigs are at the 2 pound mark. They don't feel or look skinny or ill, and they get plenty of hay, pellets, and veggies. I'm wondering why 1lb 15oz is considered small? My girls are all about 1 year old, if that makes a difference. Hmm.

Edit: ok I went back and re-read part of the middle of the thread. Ok so 2lbs isn't that bad. I got concerned for a minute.

At 1yr old 2lbs sounds pretty normal.

Older pigs usually weigh more, although some are just small.

The issue really isn't with weight per se but rather how rounded the animal feels.
