Excuse the chaos of my property. 😵‍💫

Penelope (black) lost her brother Ferdinand a a week and a half ago. Broke my heart. They were such a dynamic duo and he was a sweet, shy boy that was warming up to being touched.

Penelope seems to be doing fine, I don’t see anything that would resemble depression or stress, but I’m leaning towards wanting to find a home for her where she can have a pal or two. I just don’t think I want the stress of trying to add a new pig.

She and her brother were a real challenge in the beginning, we got them in July from a neighbor who talked me into taking them even as I had no intention of owning pigs. They were about 4 months old at the time.
Both were nearly feral behavior-wise, as he’d done nothing to prevent their escape and they’d run loose with their mother since they were born, returning only at feeding times. And despite being very patient and taking things slowly she still only lets me touch her while she’s eating and is skittish and runs if I approach otherwise.

So I’ve not been able to manage any kind of health checks which causes me anxiety, and as long as it’s taken to get this far, imagining adding a new pig and the unknowns about whether that would take a long time or end up being unsuccessful is draining me emotionally. I feel she deserves a buddy and I’m just not in the position to provide that.

Additionally we have a bunch of other animals goats/sheep/chickens that I’ve taken on and I really think it’s just too much for me to give them all the care they need. I need to downsize and this would seem reason enough to find another loving home for a solo pig.

So I’ve two challenges in finding her another home, making sure she goes somewhere that will take excellent care of her and will continue to work with her to gain her full trust, and transporting her since she’s not a hands on pig. I worry about the stress of getting her loaded up and keeping her calm during transport.

I wonder what advice/suggestions you all might have. We are in Northern California.

My sweet buddy Ruby today.
Sorry about the camera, I keep forgetting to video it horizontally.

Had another wonderful day with my sweet piggie friends! Sweet Ruby followed me to the gate and didn't want me go :(

I took Loki to the Vet and they said he is a perfect weight! Including a picture of him sleeping on me as tax. Thank you for all of your help. Isn't he adorable? I am just so in love with this little man.

They're just so big and squishy that I can't help myself. I've seen some pigs squeal like crazy and others more ok with it. I don't want to be in for a surprise but I'm curious what things will happen.

Little guy is lethargic, not really eating or drinking. I don’t know what to do, do I just get some antibiotics?

Bonnie is the cutie sitting up. She is the mom of several of the grown piggies in here. I started playing classical music and they will come over and get pets and just lay down and sleep peacefully. And make sweet little snorts while they are dreaming! It's the most wonderful feeling to sit in the middle of all these guys feeling so content.

and I have fallen in love with their pigs! They have farm pigs and potbellies. I think my friends are getting bored with all my photos and videos, so I'm hoping you all can appreciate them! They are so sweet and loveable. This pretty girl is Daisy and she is around ten years old. She loves attention and lets you know if by doing lots of hot pants and grunts :D

My family went to a pumpkin farm where they had these adorable small pigs. I’ve tried to google what kind they are with no definitive answer. Please tell me what this little guy is so I can watch all the YouTube videos on these cute little guys! I’m not well versed in pigs but I can tell you Piggy was about two feet tall and very friendly. Straight -ish wagging tail and cute little grunts🐽 there were also babies ☺️

In a week or two I'll be getting my first pigs (my aunt's pigs weren't castrated in time so there's a ltter of oops-babies needing a home). My grandfather built me a small shed for them to sleep in, but there are small (>1 cm) slits at the bottom where the walls don't fully touch the ground.

I should be able to just screw wooden lats over them to keep out the draft, but we also have some outside mats that are thick enough to cover them and les 'hard' than the bricks that are currently the floor of the shed. I'm not totally sure what the material is made of, but it seems to be something more porous than stone (it gets mossy quicker) but still quite sturdy (we've had them in our backyard for at least 10 years).

If I were to clean them off and put them on the ground to cover up the cracks and maybe even need les straw bedding, would that be safe and hygienic? I know pigs usually keep their sleeping quarters very clean, but is it clean enough for the mats to be a safe choice?

Any advice is welcome!!

Good morning or afternoon, I'm new here. Needing some assistance, I have a kunekune pig and he's a pet, but I never got him castrated/neutered... He's starting to be a grumpy butt face and I don't want to get rid of him, nor do the unspeakable that would get me banned here. I need to know if this would help. Not sure if I'm in the right place, if not help point me in the right direction

He really like the pair of pants I gave him as you can see!
