Born 1st December and old enough to mate by the end of December Maybe after 4 months but not 4 weeks I would only let a baby piggie go after 8 weeks such a shame you have had so much trouble Dizzy. Hope he makes a quick recovery

yep you are right BQ !

males start very early Jelly head, i woundered if it was a typing error when i read it, but lots of sites/books and my vet all agree, males can be fertile from 3 /4 weeks old!
You wouldnt think they would know what to do at such a young age eh?
