What cute pigs! It is always a good idea to have a vet examine any new pet so that you have an established relationship with a vet in case any health issues arise in the future. They can also look your pigs over and be sure they appear healthy!

Hello. I would consider a visit pretty soon, as if there are any issues, the sooner they are addressed the better. Perhaps wait a few more days so that the baby reaches a week of age & then take them in. Thanks for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
