Potbelly pig questions

I was gifted a pair of year old pot belly pigs the female is supposed to be about two and a half months pregnant. Unfortunately the male is an escape artist and got out of his pen hopefully we'll be catching him again and securing the pig pen. What are what are some signs to be able to tell if the pot belly pig girl is pregnant or not in case we're not able to catch the bore again I am hoping that she is already pregnant and we will be having piglets in about a month or so. Also any other advice for raising mini pigs in the past I've only had one pig at a time to grow them out for butchering so any tips on housing and caring for such small pigs would be appreciated.

So still no piglets! Is there any reason why pigs would not be breeding? Aren't one year old pigs old enough to breed?

Our pot bellies always would breed under a year.  It take 3 months 3 weeks and 3 days to have them.  The most important thing for them here is shade in the summer and a wind block in the winter.  The little ones are tiny and loose heat if it is to cold.  They are nice to butcher at about 9 months old.  We would butcher one in about 3 hours.  The bacons are the cutest little things and  cure easy.  We can fit a whole ham in the roaster.

Well since it's been almost 2 months since I've got them and there's still no piglets I guess I should assume something is wrong with this specific breeding pair or maybe just give them more time to decide what to do. I've never bred pigs before but I'm really looking forward to having the small pot bellies to butcher at some point. Just out of curiosity at 9 months approximately what type of freezer weight do you wind up with?

Ours breed like crazy.  Never had a problem with getting little ones. They are usually between 90 and 100 lbs.  We get between 50-60 lbs of meat.  I would not let them get much older than 9 months unless you are just making sausage. Ours get about a cup of corn a day, greenchop, silage and pasture.
