first a pic of the father, still one of the pinkest hogs i have ever seen (pic does not do him justice),next a pic of the 04 female just after her first shed, and then a pic of the mother...i guess you can see where she got her orange tail from.....in 04 the mother did not become noticably darker upon becoming gravid, as a matter of fact i didnt even realize she was gravid (she had only 3 females) until one day she began snapping and hissing at me when i walked by her enclosure, i thought, "thats weird" and looked in to see her over three lovely little girls. after several weeks of courting you can see (in my first post) how dark she has become suddenly. i cant wait for summer, several other pairings are looking good here as well, thanks, john yocum
