I hope by "you" you mean people here who know something about pigs!
I Googled and found stuff, here is one link that says you can:

No, I meant you, you wise old bird. I did post it in a general forum as well.

The only thing I know about raising pigs I learned in college in 1977, back when I was a pre-vet major. I've forgotten pretty much all of it.

This Saturday may be a very interesting day. We are expecting a guy to come to our farm to buy 6-7 piglets from us.

The really exciting thing to likely happen on Saturday as well is we are expecting our first littler of baby bunnies. Im not 100% certain shes pregnant. Just pretty sure.

Heres pictures of our new babies.

Hope you get bunnies!! (and sell pigs!)

Me too on both accounts. We have our netherland dwarf bunnies in our warming shack. Im going to move Ginger in there as well so her babies dont freeze, provided she has babies and they survive. I know shes kinda geriatric mom like i was when i had my daughter. I guess well have to wait and see.

Here piggy, piggy! Good luck with your bunnies!

Im keeping my fingers crossed as far as baby bunnies goes. This could be a really interesting weekend. Ive never had brand new baby bunnies before. Im gonna be doing some quick reading these next couple of days.

I have a momma rabbit who is definitely hit the late stage in pregnancy of “When is this going to be over? I’ve had enough.” stage. I’m not sure if it was my imagination tonight. But, she grew noticeably in the last 8 hours. This is what she looked like earlier today.

This was tonight.

This is a video of her before I left for the night. Poor Ginger looks miserable.

She sure is pretty. She should pull fur before kindling or immediately after, to keep the kits warm. Good luck with the babies!

I’ve been fascinated by her coloring since I brought her home. She’s such a snuggle bug normally. She doesn’t mind a couple gentle strokes on her side at this point. But, I try not to disrupt her serenity right now. Her babies should have pretty interesting coloring with Heath being the father.

This is how busy she was this morning. I kinda thought she may be nasty, but after watching closely she only had the munchies. She didn’t look miserable at all this morning. That changed in big hurry.
