Hi everyone.
I was just wondering, do piggies go through the equivalent of the menopause? I've read a lot of anecdotes saying that girls don't seem to get pregnant as they get older, but is there a definitive answer? Could an intact boar safely live with an elderly sow or would there always be a risk of pregnancy?

As far as im aware sows can become pregnant from a very early age right up until they pass away due to old age. So to be safe its best not to risk it for the health reasons and of course risk of pups with an old sow.

That's what I was thinking. A friend of mine is wondering if she could put a boar with her older piggy but I wasn't sure there was a safe age after which a piggy can no longer get pregnant.
