Title: Piglets at nightime

Should you lock piglets in the ark at night to keep them safe from foxes? If so what age/size is it safe to stop this?

If they're still with mum they'll be fine - she won't let anything near them.

I'm assuming not with mum = at least 6 weeks old, in which case they'll still be fine  ;)
