Most of what we see online is about how to feed them to make them grow. What she wants to know is how to feed it to keep it healthy and happy, but not make it blow up like a balloon
Hi everyone,
My precious piggy, Petunia, ate some aluminum foil this morning. We had leftovers from thanksgiving and I dropped a ball of crumpled up foil on the floor and she got to it before I could. She was running around and I was only able to get maybe 1/4 out of her mouth before she ate it.
To preface, she’s eaten slime, glass, baking soda, etc. So it’s not the first time she’s eaten something she shouldn’t have.
She is sleeping a lot…. which she normally does.. but I think it’s excessive. I don’t see any signs of her stomach being upset. We have also had a stressful week with 30 people over last night so she could just be tired from that, but it’s worrying me.
The vet is going to be VERY expensive, however i am going to continue to monitor her to see if we should take her in.
What do you all suggest I do?
We got our boy Bacon a friend!
I’m worried she’s going fat blind.
Winters are tough, but we do ok.
Hi everyone i hope you’re having a wonderful day so far. I have a two year old about to be three year old piggy named winnie and I was wondering if the move the pig method will work on her? I’ve been noticing she’s been acting aggressive and territorial when I let her out her pen in the mornings and was wondering if that method or any method will work on her and tips or answers will help thank you .

My favorite pigture of her
I have “mini” pigs, she weighs about 35-40 lbs and she had piglets this morning.
One passed and there are four left (one is a runt).
She isn’t producing milk so I am going to supplement them. It’s her first time.
Any tips / advice would be appreciated! 😊
I’ve been struggling to potty train my pig. I’m going to give a litter box a try again (even when i take her out every two hours she still pees) she was eating the liter I’ve put in there in the past (pine pellets) and was gunna try wood chips. Is cedar bad for pigs?
I’ve read that pigs can’t climb stairs but my 6 year old potbelly navigates 17 steps every morning and evening with minimal issue. But she also hates mud and water, and won’t eat most raw veggies, so I think maybe she’s just weird and doesn’t realize she’s a pig.
They were sleeping together on their stomachs.
