Why does she make that noise at the end like she’s chewing on something? 🐷 first time pig owner and I love her!
Morning snack and some water to get the day started right! Nelson, Daisy, Pork Chop, and Roomba
We will have wonderful dreams.
Good piggy dreams
There’s a couple companies that make buttons with pictures for your animals to use to talk to you with. I’ve seen a lot of videos of dogs using them. Some with cats. But I was wondering if anybody ever tried it with their pigs?? If so I’d love to see footage of it.
Hi so my pet pig about a year ago got an infection in his toe but my mom was able to cure him with antibiotics he got prescribed, but now he recently got that same infection again but now he does not allow us to inject him anymore and we don’t know what to do because he can barely walk and his infection is just going to get worse we just want him to relax and to stay still but each time she tries to inject him he just makes very loud noises and moves and does not stay still my mom talked to a doctor and he told her to cover his face because that would help but we tried and he just kept screaming louder please help.

My pig absolutely hates to be picked up. That's sadly the only way I can take him outside, any advice? He's become more comfortable with me petting and scratching him, runs away maybe 10% of the time when I try. But holding him is still a big no. He just screams and won't stop until he is back on the ground. He is only a few months old. Think he was just slightly weened when we got him. My roommate also got one, the circled one is mine. Any tips on bonding would be great. 9ne past question, he nibbles my fingers, is that cute or something that should be a firm no?
I have an 9 month old potbelly pig in a 150 sq ft dirt pen outside. I have a mini farm kind of, she is a pet, just outside. She knocks over her water container a lot and I am not always able to fill it up every time she knocks it over. I don't want her going thirsty all day. I used to use a kiddy pool but I had to stop because she was using it as a toilet, (I know it's natural for them). The smell and waste of water in her pen was too much.
I have seen some people use some kind of black tub from Tractor Supply, and place it inside of a tire?? Which prevents a pig from knocking it over. But I am not sure which black tub it is. Does anyone know what I am talking about and can link me to it? I have a tire ready.
