When separating boars....

[angey]

My piggies have not had their pups yet, and I dont know when they would be due but I am wondering if when the time comes that I have to separate the boars from momma if they could be put in with their dad or do I need to find another cage? Just want to make sure I am ready and know what I am doing before the pups come.

(long story short, they were a rescue. They came to me probably already pregnant. I removed the boar from the girls when I got them until I can get him neutered and then the 6ish weeks. I know one sow is pregnant, not sure about the other. They have been in my care for 2 weeks now.)

3 weeks you remove from mum and they should be ok to go with dad

As mentioned above they should be removed from mum at 3 weeks latest. I have had to remove boars at 2 weeks before due to them rumbling and trying to mount their siblings. They should be fine with dad but as they get older try to pair them off (if you have 2 or more) Then they should hopefully live happily togeather as they mature.

Thanks. I wont be keeping the babies (well maybe one )
So I will keep them with Dad when they need to be removed from Mom until they get new homes.
I plan to put Donald back in with Daisy and Clover after he is neutered and the 6 weeks. Sould be able to do that right? Or will they fight after being separated for so long?

They should get along ok once your boar is neutered and is past the 6 weeks recovery.
