Thank you for that, I will not be breeding with Buffy or Ruby again anyway. Just hoping that Ruby's babies are ok. I will take her to the vet aswell this afternoon just for a check up as i'm taking buffy anyway.
As you keep boars can I ask some advice? I have a lovely boar piggy that can not produce babies. I put him in with females just for company but he keeps chasing them. A friend took him and tried introducing him to her boars but he just wanted to fight. He is now in a cage on hes own ( and I don't want him to be lonely). Vet thinks he is oldish so don't want to risk castration. He was a rescue so no idea on age. Any ideas?
 
Here is my reply I just edited from the other thread so we can keep them both on track:

As for what to do with a lone boar, well you could use a C&C cage with a wire mesh divider and place him next to your other pigs so he can interact, snuggle up through the bars with them etc. All my pigs are single boys bar one bonded pair and we have a load of large C&C pens and they love to chat and cuddle next to each other throught the mesh! One in particular, Dylan, will likely never take another pig as he was so badly bullied before he came to us, but he seems more than happy with the present situation housed next to his friend Big Bear.

This is a great site about everything boar and includes options which may be useful for you and your boy: http://www.susieandpigs.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/optionsmenu.htm

Best of luck!
