hi am wondering if anybody can give me some advice.
I have a 6 month old sow who lives with her 2 babies 7 weeks old.earlier tonight heard a terrible noise coming from their cage ,so on investigating noticed luna (mum) rumblestrutting .she must be having a season ,have seen it and still do see it with my other sows
Anyway why i am worried is she is trying to mount her babies who are becoming very scared and stressed out,am also worried she may harm them as they are so tiny in comparison to her.
perhaps i am over worrying,just dont know what to do for best .
any advice pleaseeeeeeeeee:...
 
I wouldn't worry too much. The noise is probably the babies making submission noises. It sounds horrible but is quite normal. You could put in a small hidey that the babies can get in but mum can't, so that they can get some peace if needed. An upside down cardboard box with a small hole for a door would do. :)
