Hi, I was wondering if any of you have any in depth knowledge on the subject of breeding?
A friend of mine was given to pigs as a gift for her dd, she already had one female but lost the other (
) so she was given a "breeding pair" she had thought that - as they were only a few weeks old - they would not have been breed and only been put together on the day of the show where they were bought. Of course she seperated them the moment she got them and found a friend for the male.
All went well until it became apparent that she is pg obviously this was not in the plans lol! Anyway, after some research etc she is doing great, is healthy and happy and huge. Seems to have two babies in there who are moving around happily. The problem is that an average GP pg is 65 days (they are longer with fewer babies and they tend to have fewer babies when younger so we expected her to go over that) however, she is now into her 75th day since they were seperated - i.e. she is a minimum of 75 days, possibly more.
Friend has rung the vet who seemed pretty unconcerned as she is healthy and babies are still moving but has booked her for a scan on Monday if they have not arrived by then.
What do you think? Any reason she may be delaying? Any tips for getting her started? (I did suggest taking her on a bus but I don't think she will appreciate that 
)
