pregnant sow & young female

Question
I have a pregnant sow who is in the later stages of her pregnancy, can I put a young female with her?. The youngster is four 5 wks old

Answer
Hi Mel,

    Of course you can put a young female in with her (= I'm sure she would love the company.  During pregnancy, it is also fine to leave her mate in with her - as long as he is taken out at the time of delivery, for he can trample the babies and impregnate her during post-partum heat.

    Thank you for your question, I hope I have been of some help to you.  If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask.  Good luck with your piggies!
