We just now, like, as im typing this, right now, had to take in a second pig named Piggy Smalls from my sister because their big boar attacked him. Piggy Smalls is still intact, yes, but we ARE planning on an appointment soon to get him fixed ASAP. Right now, though, I need help for dealing with his current behavior.

My sister said he was a sweetheart with her, so I assume he needs to acclimate and then he'll calm down but I know he's also acting out on hormones because he's been trying to hump my leg. He's also gonna stay separated from Matilda (my other pig) because shes so big and territorial and I want to take it slow with introducing them.

Anyways, I just want advice on how to deal with his behavior until he gets fixed. The behavior I'm talking about is: Humping, chomping, biting, and head swiping. I tried pushing him like others suggest to do with a misbehaved pig but he is determined as hell and also I feel bad.

He's 8 months old and still pretty short. Fat but short but boy, he hurts! I don't know for absolute sure that we can keep him because of so many problems such as the dog (usually docile but you never know) and the other pig (territorial as hell), so I'm really stressing about this situation. I love him already because he's sweet when he wants to be. Earlier he was nudging, booping his nose against my arm, sticking his lip out and wagging his tail. Then he flipped like a switch and started jumping on me, chomping his teeth and swiping my hand away with his head.

Like, other than being intact, is this normal with new pigs?

I hear about other pigs devouring pumpkins, but when I present an empties pumpkin to my pig, she looks at me like I've sprouted a new head and screams for a better treat. Anyone else or do I just have an odd little lady?

Hey everyone, I have a 12 year old standard pink pig, never had piglets. She’s developed a limp on her front right leg over the last couple weeks, don’t see any signs of direct injury, no swelling, no wounds.

I’m thinking it’s probably age related and I’d like to start her on Cosequin ASU Equine to see if it improves over the next couple weeks, but dosage instructions seem completely non existent!

Does anyone know the correct dosage?

Thanks in advance!

I had this astronaut light that did these projections onto the wall and every time I turned it to the setting that projected spots everywhere Capt. Olivia Benson would come out and sit in the middle of things and enjoy it. So I put in a disco ball and this is her new spot.

I have no idea what she is thinking and I would love to be in her head for a minute.

Preemptively: I’m not one of those people that’s cool with strangers popping in and saying how fat the pet I have been spending hours every day engaging in physical activity so she operates at a calorie deficit is. She recently went from a four to a three and when she collapses on the ground like that she looks bigger than she is. I hate that it’s so acceptable here that I had to write that.

What kinds of games and toys can I give her to make sure she is feeling enriched? Right now she is pretty skittish since she has lost her animal family, and was very shaken up from people trying to move her and get her in a trailer several times. She is warming up to me but still hasn’t touched me, she came up making panting noises super close today and wagging her tail so I think she is getting less scared, but I’m also realizing i know nothing about pigs so wanna make sure she’s in her comfort zone. Anyways so I don’t know that playing a game directly with her while touching her is a good idea, I would like to ease into it. Any thoughts of stuff I can do with her other than spending time with her, talking to her and giving her little apple slice treats?

We have a 7 year old mini pig (LOL) named Marley. He has been eating Mazuri Mini Pig Mature Maintenance Food for 6 years. Yesterday we opened a new bag and he didn't want to eat it, it appeared to be a little darker than normal. He will eat everything else but he won't touch his Mazuri. Has anyone else had this issue recently?

So the pig I see everyday has its own pen in my neighbor's front lawn. Normally he sleeps most of the day but today he was just roaming around grunting and growling profusely. I don't know if he's hungry or if he's bored and lonely in his pen. Kinda seems moody.

On Labor Day my daughter and I went to the local livestock auction to find some chickens. We saw this little gal running around as she kept escaping the pen they had her in. A pig was not on our radar but we decided we had to stay and rescue her. We just love her.

I want to start off by saying I know that micro/mini pigs are not really a thing. They won’t stay 5 lbs their whole lives and this has led to a lot of families purchasing pigs only to sadly rehome them later(can be brutal for the pigs emotionally). They all grow and mature and will be pig sized. That being said, I was curious if anyone had purchased from Pampered Piglets before and how healthy their pigs were? We’ve done tons of research, got the animal permit and zoning process in play, and just looking around now at what is available to us. Or if anyone else has suggestions, I’m all ears. We are also looking at adopting prior owned pigs too, just want to keep all the options open to us. Thanks everyone!

My 5 year old female Kunekune mix lunged at my wife today, twice. It was very odd, and unlike her. She’s not spayed. My wife regularly feeds her and pets her, same as me. Any idea what caused that behavior? Is there something I should check for?
