Sexing,Weaning Questions

[bivman]

My first 2 litters are one month old today. How do I hold them to see the bottom, they squirm and jump (and nip a bit). The 2 females look pregnant again, so should I seperate the 1 month old pups now, or just wait? I want to make 1 more colony. Also I guess I'll have to make 2 grow out tubs, one for males and one for females too.

Hold them by the tail with one hand, and put their feet down on the back of your other hand.
You don't have to separate now, ASFs don't usually breed until 4months +

Just had a new batch of pinks today. The weanlings are stepping all over them, is that ok?

Thanks

should be fine

Yes it's fine. For some reason ASFs just love to be in piles.
