Hi,

I am due to be separating my baby boar Charlie from his mum in 3 days time, but at the moment he is still feeding from her and I havent witnessed him drinking any water......

Will he be ok?
 
He will be OK. Many pups still have to learn to drink form the bottle and get their fluid from veg. You can put a bowl in his cage, but brace yourself for having to clean and refill it twice a day! Some piggies prefer to use it as their WC... mallethead

If you are really worried, you can give him a bit of dry wholemeal bread squares, soaked in goats milk.
