QUESTION: he only does it now and again but he will do it several times over.but im not sure about the movement.

Answer
Hi

I presume you were thinking he is a female and possibly pregnant. I doubt this as you would have noticed your pig getting fatter and the movement inside would be regular.

He's probably just taking a big breath. If you notice anything else odd let me know.
