CharlottiesPiggies

As mentioned in my last post I really need your guys help.

Mum took pics of their bits today for me, they are a bit blurred so I might need to take them again. One came out ok, but it just depends on how good your sexing skills are ^)

Pig 3
 
3 boys

piggy two and three look like boys to me piggy one i am a little unsure:{
guessing here will say piggy one is a boy too.
i would suggest taking all 3 to the vet where they nurses can sex them and weigh them for no charge!
or perhaps a rescue or rspca someone who knows piggies. good luck i have no gone crossed eyed@) but would guess you have 3 boys.
can we see the better features like their pretty faces please, private bits just don't do it for me i prefer faces:red:))
 
I would take to a vet too. Peter thinks the middle one is a boy I don't know. Its hard to tell. A vet wouldn't charge that much if anything. It's not worth taking a chance. :)
 
I'd say 3 boys! But number three could be a girl. Can you take more pigtures? cxxx
 
Yeah they arent great photos, I might book them to go into the vets next week, yeah I agree that its not worth the risk....however i did try squeezing bits out and nothing happened, but I will ring them tommorrow and see if I can book them in.
 
Piggy one defo a sow
piggy 3 n 4 unsure cause of photo quality but guessing at 2 boys x
 
Look like 3 boys to me cause the bits are quite round and they don't look like females.
I could tell that my baby pig was a girl straight away.

And those pics look like all boys.
If you could get better pictures that would be great.
Or like previous messages go to the vets.
Good luck

I sex my baby piggies as soon as they are born straight away and have never got it wrong - They are soo easy to sex !

Its kind of unclear from pictures to say what they are for sure but i can say that piggy one is defo a sow - you can see that clearly because of the clear picture

They might be easy for you to sex ILA but some people find it a bit trickier!

Clearer phots would deffinitely help Merry_and_Rosie - I always feel sorry for bubs having their "bits" put on display for all the world to see, can we have some face shots too please!:)
 
I think putting them on the forum just creates debate and adds to the confusion of what they actually are. I don't mean to sound abrupt but they are getting near that 3 week mark so sooner they get to a vet the better. :)
 
totally agree with Louise, get them to the vets to be sure! At a guess though i'd say 1st a sow and other two boys x
 
Yea looking again it does look like the top a sow

My bad sorry
I can only really tell in person i'm not good at picks :S

Its fine to get it mixed up but in person it is your responsibility to get more hands on experience in person by a vets as stated by s&t x just to be on the safe side obviously x x

Have you got macro on your camera as that might help with clearer photos? I agree about getting them checked by a vet
 
yeah I know, I will get them to a vet next week, well I have to soon as this thursday coming they will be 4 weeks old :(
 
I will try and get clearer photos this morning. Its just I can't squeeze anything out :( but I know thats not always a sure thing.

But I am gonna call the vets this morning and get an appointment asap.
 
I would also go with 1 being a girl, and 2 & 3 being boys.

Let us know what the vet says, I would love to know if I am right!
 
first pig is without doubt a sow.

the second two - well pig two is male to me, pig 3 not sure as pic is not clear, but both seem to have a definate 'dot' at the top, whereas the sow has slightly different shaped dot....
 
Yeah I am booking them in asap this week before thursday.....

I just cant seem to seperate them, they all look the same, but at least I have another cage, I just dont want the vet to say to me....I DON'T KNOW...or something along those lines, plus I cant afford to go to a small animal vet with their big consultation charge. I will book them in at pets at home vets, they have been good so far.
 
I will get better photos this evening for you :) bless mum she didnt realise she had to focus the camera
 
my vets charged me £13.75 to sex Smudge....Every time we go there you can almost see the ££££ signs light up in their eyes!. As I don't drive i really don't have any other choice than to go there
