Wow Graham, to very large litters! Are you leaving the nursing sows together? They could share milk duties.
I normally try and mate sows together so they have someone to nurse with but I havent breed mine in such a long time, Lily-Pad was the last to give birth but before that it was over 1yr ago.

yes i have the 2 sows and a sow that i have just weaned her 3 week old boar son all in a 5ft hutch, all 3 sows are feeding the 10 babies,Once the babys are all stronger i will open the ramp to give them access to the lower floor so that will give them 10ft of floor space

I bet the mothers are glad there are others to go to for milk. Lily-Pad is cursing the two she has never mind 5 of them running around, lol.
Keep us updated on there progress.
My favorite out of the Golden Agouti (1st)litter is the one with the white on him/her and the 2nd litter is Tortoiseshell (far right) she/he is yummy too!
