Ouch, right in the feels that I know. When i come back, there are gazillions of piglets and my FPS is around 10 :)
I typically make my breeders away from my base. There's two main reasons for this. One, the FPS. Two, you only need one "base structure" (workbench is my go to) to keep the food from despawning. This way, you can avoid raids altogether while AFKing. The whole time i have my headset on so i can hear if something is going on in the game. If i hear raid i quickly jump in, clear it and then go back to scrolling facebook :)
Vertical breeders are safe from raids. Well, mostly safe. Flying rats and drakes can do a lot of dmg if you don't react in time.
[Well, as long as your breeders are not in Mountains or Plains; then you'd have to worry about "You are being Hunted..."]
[EDIT] Actually, I guess that wouldn't work now, with bat raids being added in. AFAIK, they can spawn in any location, except (maybe) empty biomes.
Before I did start putting them away from my base, I often kept a "vault" where I completely enclosed a pair of wolves and a pair of boars, just so that I could recover from any bat or drake raid. (Very sad when the only thing left to remember your 2-star Wolves by is some skewers...)
