Wow you have been through so much! I just read it and I can't imagine handling all of that. How crazy. I'm those piggies though are so happy that you are looking after them now. And I know it was wrong of the man to just dump them on you but it's a good thing he at least did it to someone who cares rather than "realease them" to the wild...which I have heard people to and the thought makes me sick...
But amazing job!! Not everyone has the patience and plus the money to do what you are doing. Good Job!

Not been to good Pigpog. A bit stressed thats all but its pulled me down health wise. Cant wait to get back to normal and post about happy things. Lost another baby. Willow has been bitten on the rump but thats not too bad and I've dealt with it. But I need Doris to look at these pics and see which sex they are please cos I cant afford any mistakes.Cheers

Try pushing just above the private area. If they are boars you should feel the willy under the skin, and if you push in the right place it will pop out. In sows you won't feel this.

I would guess from the piccies that the top one is female and the bottom one is male, but as Doris said it's hard to tell from those pics and I'm probably not terribly accurate with my guesses. Do as Doris suggested and get back to us, maybe with some new pics and what you found when you pressed. Keep it up Tosca. I know it's hard but you're an angel.

Darn photobucket what have I done wrong? Fixed it. You copied the address in your menu bar for viewing the piccies in Photobucket instead of the image location address.

Have you tried the pop out test yet?
sometimes sows can have what looks like a willy, but its not. Myrtle one of our sows could quite easily be mistaken for a boar as she does have a large clitoris. If interested I will post a pic somewhere.

Done the pop test and nothing. but they look different to each other. If I leave them together without mum and one is a boar and one a sow can she get pregnant at this age
