Typically it is done under gas anesthesia and they wake up as soon as they are taken off the gas. 30 minutes sounds about right.

Looks like a girl to me.

It's a girl!

They potty the most where they eat. So if you feed them in the loft you will contain some of it. But you will likely never completely potty train them. They go where they want. But I wouldn't make the main floor smaller. They need room to run around.

That's a male.

I have one. You have to climb in to clean it but they love it. It also has a 2×4 loft where most of the hay is kept.

Mother daughter pairs work very well. Usually, since Mom is older and bigger she is automatically the boss. Sometimes "teenage" daughters will challenge her for dominance but it is usually settled quickly and without injury.

He looks like a young California pattern piggy. It's one of the newer varieties. They look like himalayan but have dark eyes. The body can also be red or cream. The points come in more as they get older. If he doesn't develop points, he could just be a dark eyed white with dark ears.

Definitely a male.

I'm seeing all girls.

Be aware that weight is the main issue for anesthesia. The smaller a pig is, the more difficult it is for them to maintain their body temperature under anesthesia. That's why most vets will want to wait until they're a little older.

That looks like fungus to me. A little athlete's foot cream should clear it up. Just apply twice a day and rub it in well.

Both girls.

They're just practicing. Leave them with mom for three weeks.
