Mama Madonna has given birth a few times but has still managed to keep a slim body. She is so small she still looks like a baby herself.

While her babies needed her, she was a really awesome mother. She protected them, fed them and took really good care of them until it was time for them to be weaned. Then she really wanted to be alone. At 28g, she is underweight and knowing that she has had at least at least 2 litters of babies, this mama ham is now on a generous and hearty diet to help her regain more weight.

Mama Madonna is quite tame and ACTUALLY ENJOYS BACKRUBS SO MUCH THAT SHE WILL BRUX but thanks to her traumatic past she is a little timid and tends to run away if she senses sudden movement and loud sounds.

Taming her will require patience but should not be too difficult as she is very curious and sweet.

Madonna is extremely photogenic and knows how to work her angles. So what are you waiting for? Will your heart beat... next to hers?
