Hi! We got these two adorable PBP in August From a bad farmer who was sent to ja for neglect. We basically took most of his animals. The pots were obese. They are old and arthiritc and could barely walk when we got them. None of his animals ever had human contact so they they were very afraid. Jumbo’s tusks were so grown into his cheeks we had to cut 2” off one side and 3” off the other immediately. They had blood on them. It was terrible. Anyway, we had hoped they would breed. Clearly they are too old now. Portly is a girl. We think Jumbo is a castrated male, but he’s so fat, that, you can’t see underneath to know for sure. But, there are definitely no male parts at the back end...if you know what I mean. I have read that, females do have tusks, but they are small and usually not seen. Jumbo has two sets, which leads us to believe he is in fact a he. It doesn’t really matter at this point, but, I suppose I’d just like to know. Your guess is as good as mine. Sorry, I do not have any underneath pictures, but I can try to get some...back end ones if you’d like! :) Jumbo is the black one with the tusks...the other is our cutie Portly!

Good of you to take them and give them a good home. To tell male from female.... in this case, I'd just hang out with them until they pee. Female will pee out the back end, male will pee from under his belly. Take a lawn chair and some thing to drink, it might take awhile. :lol:

Well, then I think he is a she, but I didn’t want to admit it...how do explain those crazy tusks?!

Those crazy tusks take awhile to grow, to me, that says age. I had a female pot belly pig once as a pet, she had some teeth on her, but not like those! She would ever so gently take a French fry from my fingers, never touching me with her teeth.
