that i took out the babies from mum, i am sure that the girls are 4 weeks plus and i think mum can go to the herd.

what do you think?, personally i think mum needs to go out and get with the herd.

babies will stay indoors i think it is to cold out in the garage for them but mum has put weight on and is looking good, and the running around that goes on in the cage makes me think mums getting a bit fed up,

i did take Karen's advice with putting in another sow but that didn't go down well
 
Try it if you think she's ready, you can see her :) She might be glad of the adult company. I've had a couple that have been funny about going back with sows but did accept castrated boars, so now the castrated boar goes in before the birth.
I think you can only try it, babies are all ready at different stages, its not like a 6 week rule or anything and youcan always put them back together if she really doesn't settle :)
 
I am sure the babies will be fine without their mum, they are old enough to do everything they need to do, it will give mum a rest and allow her to put a bit of weight on.
I think of it as if the boys can leave mum earlier, why can't the girls...
Good luck, if it does not work out, you can always put mum back with them.
