Is my mini pig pregnant??

14 months later?
I'm gonna say no.

Are you planning on neutering the boy? Usually with age in-tact males make it harder to have them as pets. The female is still young, she may still just be growing, not saying she can’t be pregnant since I am inexperienced in that area. But since they’re not even a year old they have time to keep growing which is why I think she may just be growing and not actually pregnant.

Here is a picture of my potbelly pig. He’s a male. Sadly, Hammy is no longer with us, he was the best piggy ever. Does your mini pig have potbelly in her or do you know what type of breeds are mixed in since mini pig isn’t really a breed? Here he was less than a year old and had grown a lot in just one month from when I got him to when I took that picture.

I have no idea what their actual breed is but since they are both black I would assume Vietnamese potbelly of some sort but can't ever know for sure

Pot belly pigs get pretty large so I wouldn't worry too much I mean look at my boy!

Your boy is obese.

What do you mean?

obese - overly, unhealthily fat

As of now I have no plans to neuter him. he is as sweet as can be I've had absolutely no issues with him. If it becomes a problem in the future I will revisit it.

Their vulva gets real puffy when they are in heat and when they are bred. Then they'll develop a milk bar. The teats get bigger and the bar will start to fill in a few weeks before birth. It usually gets very big and full before birth and the vulva gets very big and poofy.

Thanks for that info! I will keep a look out!

I breed pigs for meat. He was eaten. And I did say females don't start cycling until after 8 months. That's the first thing I said.

I know what I am doing. I did my research. I know my facts. Don't need to hear it from you thanks

So why the heck are you asking on here if she's bred if you know everything?? Good luck with your 'mini' pig breeding operation.

I didn't say I knew everything, I said I was informed and knew what I was doing. Getting an opinion on the physical appearance of a female pig has nothing to do with my ability to determine if I should to neuter a MALE pig.
