advice please

I should be hopefuly getting my new cage on fri for my ?pregnant sow.

I have 3 piggies i thought all boars but 1 is a sow which I'm pretty sure is pregnant as mentioned in the past, she has most definatly put on weight has a much rounder tum and feels 'fuller' than the other 2 but no movements felt as yet.

Now when i take them out of their cage they squeak for one another, if one is being held the others squeak now i think their used to being as a 3.

Should i get another boar to go with the 2 boars i have, or leave the 2 of them together?

What about a sow to go with my possibly pregnant sow? or should i leave her alone until she has her babies. will weigh them again tomorrow to see just how much weight she has put on this week but last week she put on 59g!

just remember,the babies might be boars! dont get any more and keep them seperated, preferably in different rooms or the boars might fight

Personally i would seperate the sow, let her give birth and at 3 weeks sex the babies... Any boars you will need to seperate them from both groups i would have thought. So if you do have some baby boars then you will probably need another cage either if you decide to keep them or until they get rehomed...
Then you should be in a better position to decide what to do next! But dont put the female back with the boars!

thanks will do, babies will be with mum and boars will be seperated at 3 weeks, and then depending on how many and what sex etc will depend on what we do next thanks

and pictures of mum and babies will be expected you know!

would totally agree with jane, just seperate the female from the males, put the males away from the female and wait until she gives birth before deciding what to do
