First, they are in search of food. They are born and must make their way to the nipples to nurse. Second, for their safety. A sow will often inadvertently lay on a baby when she drops down for a rest. Farrowing crates help prevent this, but instinct tells the little pig to get up so he can move out of the way when mother wants a nap.
