How can you tell a pigs age?

[abby]

Hi all, I was just wondering if there's a way of telling a pigs age? I got my two recently and the previous owner said they were 10 mnths old but i'm not so sure. I wondered if they might be older as they are both quite big, their nails were rather long and jelly the bigger of the two is also quite fat!

There's no way of telling their age for definite My Guin is 16 months old and Titch is 13 months - yet Titch is much bigger

Maybe you're little one is a little older

maybe with experience you can tell the age just by looking at them like for instance my dipstick you can tell is a grandad he just looks it not so lively not so young looking over all, I guess you would need to ahev kept pigs for years to really notice how they age and change , when I rescued 2 boys years ago no one knew their ages but I guessed about 4 they did live another 18 months for galaxy he had health issues and twix another 2 ,
