Answer 3

around 6 weeks. that gives them time to nurse and wean from the mother, and be eating solid food on their own

Answer 4

Usually 4-6 weeks, providing they are eating hard food and drinking of their own accord from a water bottle.

The babies should be weaned no later than 4 weeks, and have at least 2 weeks of surviving on their own.  If the new home isnt very knowledgeable about pigs, its better for the baby to be a bit older 8+ weeks.
