Don't know much about pot belly pigs, but commercial pigs are often weaned at 2 weeks or even earlier. Since yours are eating well, I would guess (and this is only a guess) it would be OK.

No - they should be fine weaned also the goodness in the mums milk at this age is debateable - ok for another week but by 6 weeks not much use to the piglets
