maramcp   10 #74 Posted July 9, 2007 Best of luck with the impending births! I got my last two girl piggies and discovered one was expecting a week or so after we got them home from the pet shop, but all was fine, and she had 2 boys and a girl. We now have mum and the two boys left as the others are sadly no longer with us. I keep mine in custom-made hutches next door to each other with a 'window' of steel mesh between boys and girls. They are often to be found up close touching noses and chuntering to each other through the mesh! It has the added bonus that they can see who gets fed more and what is for dinner so they boys complain if they don't get fed first...

baileys_mum   10 #76 Posted July 9, 2007 Ok. Where the tail should be, go under and you should feel the underside of the pelvis. When you can get 2 fingers next to each other between the bones its usually 24 hours, though one of my girlies was wide open for 4 days Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
WangGang   10 #77 Posted July 9, 2007 I wish I could keep them all but its just not practical, we have a 2 bed flat with not much yard space, so they live in the hallway, theyre kind of free range pigs! They seem to love having so much space, but it just wouldn't work keeping them all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
