Question
i have 2 boys and 2 girls. i introduced them and i think one of my girl piggies is pregnant. how can i tell and what do i need to do incase she is.

Answer
Hi Jesse

The best way to tell is by weighing her each day and monitoring for weight gain. She may also lie flat when you stroke her and become more agitated when you handle her.

There's nothing you really have to do as such. Give her a balanced diet as normal with hay, fresh foods and pellets. Let me know if you have any other concerns.
