The little ones will be ready to be weaned at the end of this month ... they are going to our neighbours paddock, which will hopefully be out of earshot!
Just a couple of questions as this was our first litter!
- How long should I ensure they stay away for? (We have homes for all the ones that are for sale, I'm just wondering when I should let them take them once I can see they are feeding ect okay?)
- What should I expect from Daisy? She is going to be moved to a brand new, never before grazed, paddock which is full of all her favourite things but will she be distressed or is this pig dependant (might be a stupid question!
) I'm a little worried about this as obviously we sent Tulip off last month so she will effectively be on her own apart from her best pony friend!
- We are keeping 3 of her piglets back - 2 for the freezer and one for breeding next year ... when can I bring these back and is there a certain way by which I should Re-Introduce them
- Alternatively is it possible that she will wean the piglets herself if I leave 3 of them in with her? She is a good weight (dropped a little 2 weeks ago but feed upped and is now looking as good as ever).
Thank you in advance for any help you can give!
