I just picked up 3 pigs needing a home because the couple is moving and could not take the pigs. They had an add on Craigslist to sell them and did not. As it turns out...it was a male and 2 females. Would love some guidance to figure out if either of the females are pregnant, the owner said that one had a litter about 3 months ago. All three pigs were living together in pet store cage! I build a temporary C&C for the females today, I have found a new home for the girls, but I would like to observe and be sure they are not pregnant. Does anyone have and advice on signs?
 
It's likely both females are pregnant if they were housed with a male. Be careful how you pick up the females or hold them until you know if they are pregnant, as holding a sow by her middle can be very uncomfortable.

This is the Guinea Lynx section on reproduction. It should provide a lot of useful information. https://www.guinealynx.info/reproduction.html
