[Gpdd] Breeding: What a surprise

[Karen Murphy]

Get that male out of there now!!!  Your little sow can become pregnant again almost immediately, within hours of birth and your boar knows that!  Back to back pregnancies are extremely hard on Mama, so take Dad out ASAP.  Dont' even finish reading this, go get him!

Congrats on your new babies, make sure Mama and babies have plenty of extra food that has good Vitamin C in it.  If you haven't already tired it, Oxbow is a good food that has stabilized Vitamin C, meaning it lasts longer and is more available to the piggie's systems.

Now, your babies are sexually mature at three weeks of age.  I know that seems awfully young to wean and separate, but your babies can eat solid food and pretty much fend for themselves at that tender age.   Much better to separate than to risk a pregnancy by son to mother or brother to sister.  Have an expert help you determine the correct sexes.

Good luck, glad the birth was smooth and all are doing well.
