So how long should I wait before putting the pig babies in their outdoor run?

I'm not planning to just yet as they're just settling into their normal house - but wondering how long everyone else waited?
 
I'd make sure you feed fresh grass in small amounts regularly and build up the amount gradually to get their guts used to it before they go onto the grass.
Also make sure the grass is nice and dry when they go out lawn mowering!

They get grass everyday - I'm just not sure how long to leave it before I put them outside I've only had them a week?
 
I put my billy out the first day I got him and he was 12 weeks. I put him in the run next to Freddie so he could get used to him and bonded them together 2 weeks later. i didn't have anywhere else to put him while I got his cage ready as the whole situation wasn't thought out very well as the previous owner let me down so wasn't sure when I'd actually be picking him up.

Great thanks - I think I will put them out this week soon as the weather picks back up!
