It does indeed look like shes pregnant, but growing pigs do gain weight very well.
What is her weight in total? She looks older than 11 weeks, where did you get her from and how long was she housed with boars? How long have you owned her now?
Shes a beautiful pig!

Thanks for your reply
We have had her 2 weeks, she is 588g total and she came from a pet store, which had her two brothers in seperate cages..Not sure how long seperated and only going on age from pet store
She is 25cm long and at the widest part of her body she is 27cm diameter
We are worried about her, hope she`ll be OK..
Oh and thanks for fixing the pic`s

Thats a very very good weight for a 11 week old sow, even taking off the recent weight gain. If she is pregnant she would be about 5-6 weeks along which would mean she was caught at 5 weeks odd old. Unsual but not impossible.
I would be inclined to say she is a little older 5 months or so. Keep an eye on her for the next few weeks, it will become very apparent if she is indeed inpig. Make sure she has plenty of hay, greens and not too much handling.

Silly pet shops that put boys and girls together, she is too little to be having babies. But we really hope she will be ok.
If everything goes ok is there something we can feed her once the babies are born to keep her healthy ? It will be hard for her feeding babies when she is still a baby so we would like to help her out.
Thank you.

Just ensure she has plenty of fresh greens and hay. Nothing else you can do but let mother nature do her job. She should cope well aslong as no complications arise during labour. Some young sows freak out and wont clean up the pups etc. Hopefully she is ok.
Keep us posted.

Can you feel the babies movement? This reminds me of my pregnant sow, Sparkle. She's all white, too and looks like that, with the lumps. We had a mystery of if she is pregnant and now the mystery is when will she deliver. Haha Hope everything turns out well!! Oh, if you feel babies, what would be your guess for how many?  Good luck! |

Oh okay. I can't get over how adorable they are. But do you have girls names or boys names? Sorry if I get annoying with it, I absolutely just LOVE baby piggies. I also love to hear their stories about the mom and seeing them being born.
