Cute pigs ! Mine are so noisy whenever they here the fridge they think I bringing them food
 
Thanks . Lol mine too, especially sugar, she is a greedy girl. I can't pick her up much at the moment though. She is very snappy. Must be her hormones!
 
Yes he is neutered. Introductions were done 5 weeks after neutering. They fell in love and are now inseparable :love:
 
They're both lovely. She does look a little...round. I believe 6 weeks is usually the golden post-neuter intro time and some 5 weekers are still fertile.​
 
Yeah it can be possible to still be fertile at 5 weeks... quite a few people have been caught out by that I believe. I think 6 weeks is when you can absolutely be sure it won't happen...
 
I'll put her on the scales today to try and weigh her. How much do pregnant sows put on weekly?

That's where I can't help you... I have no idea :P
Theres some really good info in the pregnancy section that will tell you everything you need to know.
All I know is you usually can't see or feel the babies until the later stages of pregnancy...

How long have they been together since he was neutered?

Does she look like she's getting wider? I doubt you'd be able to feel the babies yet if she was pregnant, a normal pregnancy is around 10 weeks I believe and it's not until the later stages that you start to see/feel the babies. Have a look at the pregnancy section and make sure she's getting the right type of nutrition and not too much food as this can make labour difficult.
It's not uncommon for sows to get pregnant from a neutered boar if they haven't been seperate for the full 6 weeks:doh:
 
I feel a bit silly now because I was told one calendar month and then I left it 5 days after that. She is getting wider and eats and drinks like crazy but I haven't had her long. She was 4 months when we adopted her so it's difficult to know if she is just growing or growing babies :doh:
