Question
my question is do all female piggys develope nipples and is this a possible sign of pregnancy, or matureaty. i have 3 female piggys one has nippels the others dont, at least as far as i can see right now, when i purchashed them I was told they were about 2-4 weeks old,  they were all caged together with a male but the one with nippels was purchased about 2 day later along with the male i have had them all for about 5 weeks as of today. if the nipple girl is expecting when should she deliver.

Answer
Hello Debbie,

Male and female piggies are both born with nipples. As they mature they develop more. It's not a sign of pregnancy so you shouldn't have to worry about that. Your piggies are just growing up. Take lots of pictures. They grow up much too fast.
