Did one girl have a baby? Is it possible she's just being protective? Could you let them see eachother a lot every day without them living together and introduce them all together when baby is older?

yes only stella had a baby, maybe she is being protective- i might try to introduce them together

hello I'm sorry the have started bickering,regular play sessions are the best wayjust be sure you don't take Stella away from bub for to long x

I would leave Mum and baby alone together to bond, if the other adult sow was bickering then separate the two adult girls while the baby is still small. All of my sows litter alone... they seem to prefer it that way! And once the babies are weaned I normally give them so time to themselves before re-introducing other piggies, as they seem to appreciate the rest!

How much time on average? Like a few days, or a week or more? Getting ready in a few weeks to go through this with Molly.
