Question
Hi, I just wanted to ask you a quick question. What do small foetuses feel like in a pregnant piggy? My piggy is 4 weeks pregnant and on the fourth week a chart says that an experienced breeder should be able to feel small foetuses and i'm not a breeder  and i'm not experienced.Thanks!!!

Answer
Hi Tanisha,

I wouldn't recommend feeling for the babies as you could damage them or hurt the mother. The shapes will become noticeable by sight in a few more weeks - by about eight weeks you'll be able to see them moving around!

Best wishes,
Jenny.
