@Kelsie I don't even think she's getting a slap on the wrist. She signed over all the animals to animal control. I don't know for sure though because they can't tell me. She also had four pitbulls that she signed over and as of yesterday three had been adopted! :)

Apparently they were never socialized either. Virginia is pretty crappy regarding animal rights in my experience. Especially small animals. They're treated as property not individual living creatures. Ugh.

@Shieme. I hope the boys go together too. But if someone has a lone boar and only wants one boy I will consider that home. The little guy with the white blaze seems to be everyone's favorite. There's just something about him.

And I think it's actually preferable to have boars together since birth. Sure there may be some squabbling as they go through the "teenage years" but they should be fine.

I don't actually know if it's preferable, but I CAN tell you that my two little fellas are from the same litter and are virtually inseparable. They are SO bonded, I've never seen two pigs this bonded before, especially males.

Hi everyone! Lisa and her pups are doing great! Sprint is still pregnant (two weeks later). I'd expect labor any second though haha.

So initially I thought Lisa had two male and two female pups. Now I'm second guessing myself. Anyone wanna take a gander?

I'm thinking the red one is female and the other two are male.

They all look male to me, but better close-ups would help.

I think the first one is female, the second image is a little too blurry to tell, the last one I think is male.

If you feel just above their genitals you will be able to feel a firm vertical line on a male, as they have a bone in their penis, but a female will feel completely soft and smooth.

So maybe this is a dumb question but I have no idea about Sprint's genetics or the male that she was bred to.

Could my pups be lethal? They seem fine. Both have two pink eyes and all the teeth seem to be there. Sprint doesn't appear to have any roan in her but is it possible it's in her genes?

If the eyes are the normal shape and size and the teeth are ok, the pig isn't a lethal. It's a PEW -- pink-eyed white.

Wow, 2 all-white piggies from an all-orange/red Abby! I wonder who the father was.

I'm so glad that both ladies made it through it all! They're all so wonderful; good luck with them! I'm so jealous! :crazy: Hoping one day I'll be able to take in some pregnant pigs too.

So happy everything turned out ok for Sprint and her babies !!!

I am fostering a mom and her 4 babies, had them last week. Got her about 2 1/2 weeks before she delivered. It is a wonderful experience, just wish I could keep them all they are so cute ..

@sherri86. I want to keep them all too! I've found homes for four and we are keeping two. We are keeping the two pink eyed whites that were born this morning. My kids instantly fell in love with them :)

We will have the male neutered since we had three of each sex and I can't stand to re-home one alone.

My Neighbor's granddaughter has two females and is going to take two babies or baby and mom depending on how many girls there are. I can't tell their sex just yet. So at least I will be able to see pictures of some of them growing up. I already have 8 boys and just too little of house for any more. I hope to find good homes for the rest !
