Hello Grace,

Boars can impregnate a sow at around 3-4 weeks old. Males should be separated from females (including their mother and sisters) at the age of 3 weeks.

Hello Grace,

It is possible his mother is pregnant again. Keep a close eye on her. There is still a good chance she isn't though as most males aren't quite sure what to do with themselves yet at that age, but it is still a possiblity.
