Question I have a two pigs. One male and the other female. I believe that they have mated and she may be pregnant. How can I tell if she is and how long is a pig pregnant for?
Answer Pigs are pregnant for 3 months, 3 weeks, and 3 days, or about 114 days. There are no early noticeable signs, but as the pregnancy progresses she will develop a big belly, and a few days before delivery milk sacs may develop. She will also begin to exhibit nesting behaviors.
