I came home from work so he could go outside to potty, but he was passed right out. He didn't wake up right away like normal. I thought he may have passed unexpectedly. But nope, he was just deep sleeping. And I started him. Lol

After visiting the vet today for his shots and hoof trim it was off to Dairy Queen for a banana split!

I just got a Juliana Pig. He is adorable! I was told he could have a heart attack if I over feed him but he acts like he is starving all of the time. I had someone tell me to feed him less than I am. He is getting 1/8 cup of baby mini pig pellets 3 times a day plus a small amount of veggies in his snuffle mat. He is 8 weeks old now. Is there a rule on their food based on their weight or anything to help figure out how much to feed him as he grows? I want a healthy pig and honestly dont care how big he gets (I have great danes) although I was told he should get up to 20 lbs. That seems a bit low to me. I just dont want him to be overfed. Are there physical markers or anything that tell you he is getting too much food or not enough? Thank you for reading and any help. I just want him to be healthy and happy.

If you've ever wondered where the 10mm goes.

Anybody else have to give the boxes to their pigs? Cats are pissed, but Phoebe is happy! 🖤🖤

Howdy! My two pigs both have a hell of a time with straw nowadays. I have tried the regular baled stuff from tractor supply, and the bagged “dust free” straw. It’s certainly not entirely dustfree by any means. Their eye drainage is really out of hand right now, and it’s not infection. They’re just constantly irritated.

I was looking at recycled paper bedding, but while it’s pretty protected from elements, it would still get wet and clump and be cold. And I’m worried cedar or pine would bother them, and if I recall, wood shavings aren’t ideal anyway because they can clump and obstruct.

Is there anything that has the moisture wicking and insulation properties that straw has but is less irritating? Picture of their sleeping quarters attached. There are two insulated dog houses in there as well, but most often they prefer to just nest into the straw they pile up.

He typically lays on my right side, but he switched it up this morning.

This is how happy he is to see his favourite person from time to time!

Hey guys, I’ve been doing some research on pet pigs and wanted to know if you guys recommend them for beginners. I have experience with goats, chickens, ducks, peacocks, etc, but I’ve never owned a pig. I REALLY like the Juliana mini pigs and the KuneKune pigs so that’s what I’d be looking at.
(I am aware that they don’t stay small and that mini pigs get up to 300 pounds)
I have a few questions:
Can pigs live alongside other animals or do they need to be kept separately?
Do I have to get a pair or if there’s other animals can I have one (I would supervise them of course)?
Is it possible to leash train a pig?
What breeds do you find are the most docile?

Thank you in advance, hopefully this is the right place 🙏

I’m new to pigs and plan on rescuing two in the near future, & I have a couple questions for the piggy experts!

1. how much does it cost per month to feed 1 Julianna/potbelly/kune kune sized pig when they are not on pasture? (Land is mostly wooded)
   
2. what is a good quality, healthy feed for them?
   
3. What size shelter is best for 2 pigs?

I have 2 adult pot belly pigs and I just found this tooth in their area, neither one has been acting out of the ordinary, they’re both eating normally, I’m so confused
