Raising pot belly pigs. Pregnant pig????

[nsegovia]

I purchased a pair of potbelly pigs last october. The breeder had multiple sows with piglets and he cant guarantee theyre not brother and sister..based on the size i doubt theyre related. About a month ago she went into heat and now i have a feeling shes pregnant....can potbellied pigs get pregnant at 4mo old??

If she is old enough to come into heat she is old enough to get pregnant. Whether that is a good thing or not is another matter entirely.

Whats a good age for them to become pregnant...

I really don't know, but you ought to be able to find a pot belly web site that will have that information.

Shes not pregnant... Just keeping an eye out for when she comes into heat ill seperate her from the male. Ive added a small seperate pen for when we may need it

If you don't want a pregnant pig separate them now, you won't be able to tell when she comes into heat and even if you can she will come into heat every 3-4 weeks.
