Three to five days. This takes place every twenty eight to thirty days, after she reaches sexual maturity.
The oestrous cycle of a sow typically lasts about 21 days, but it can range from 18 to 24 days. It consists of several stages: prooestrus, oestrus (heat), metoestrus, and dioestrus. The oestrus phase, when the sow is receptive to mating, lasts approximately 48 to 72 hours. During this time, hormonal changes prepare the sow for potential breeding and conception.

Yes. A way that AI techs (Artificial Insemination technicians) test to see if a sow or gilt is ready to be bred is to sit on their backs to see if they will stand still. If the sow or gilt stands still when pressure is put on her hips (imitating the weight of the boar's front when he mounts to breed her), then she's ready to be bred. Her vulva will also be swollen and red, which is an indicator that she's in heat. Sows will have a period where they stand to get bred, but they also have a period during their heat cycle (which is before and after standing heat) where they will not. It can be quite noisy and a bit violent during this period. The sow or gilt will go after the boar and vice versa, and sometimes fights and squabbles can break out--and even if they are tame pet, you do NOT want to be in the way of such "courting" behaviour. But as time goes on, the sow/gilt will come to accept the boar and let him mount and breed her.
A Sow (Sss-Ow) [rhymes with cow]
if the sow and the boar are incapable of mating with each other then you have to artificially inseminate the sow or wait until the boar grows bigger than the sow, if it can.

It means she is "in heat" or ready to mate.
A guinea pig sow will normally start showing around 3 weeks after mating, but just barely. Her sides will start to bulge out, and it will look like she has two bumps on her sides. A guinea pig will give birth around 59-79 days after mating, so mark your calendars and keep an eye out!
You can sow at any time you have the right conditions, but, the heat and light available must be maintained throughout the life of the plant.
just say its free and she come running

A polar bear sow can have anywhere from one to four to a litter. Most times, though, only one or two cubs out of that litter survive to weaning age or to one year of age.
Well, male guinea pigs can mate when there about 3 and a half weeks old.
