As most of you know, Pebbles lost the litter , I blame myself....But anyways she's 7 months old, how long should I wait to mate her again? I am still rescuing the two boars if I get approved, and buying two more sows. This is my last attempt with Pebbles, but I am more knowledgeable now, and I have faith. Since she isn't feeding young ones, how soon is too soon?

I think it's dangerous for them to get pregnant too soon after having a litter even though she's not feeding young ones, as some of the other posts say to make sure the male isn't in with her when she has babies as she can get pregnant quickly and it's not great. So maybe it would be best to leave it a little while for her to recover completely and make sure she's in tip top condition.

You need to give the sow at least 6 months to recover. Thats the general rule with breeding sows. Do you have any idea why she lost the litter? Breeding her again could hold great risks. She could loose the litter and maybe even her own life. Is it worth risking this?
Do you know her history and what boar was used to breed her with?
