Wilbur and his stick.
I don't know if this goes for all pigs but the one I see everyday sleeps, bathes in the sun, occasionally gets up to eat, and then goes back to bed. He seems like a very happy and content pig unless he's hungry.
So sweet, I donate to this shelter, too. Look how happy they all are!

My sponsored boy Clarance is at the 0:54 mark. So handsome!
I adopted three Juliana pigs last year. An issue I have had is that when I feed the mini pigs grain made for mini pigs two of them will occasionally vomit. I have added water to it which reduces the committing but does not eliminate it. They do not have issues if I give them stock feed or any other food. I have tried 5 different brands of mini pig grain. I was wondering if anyone has encountered this issue and has any advice.
So as I’m sure many of us are, we’re dealing with a whole lot of mud right now, even with having a large space to keep our pigs on. Come spring we’re going to divide the area and try to rotate the girls and regrow some grass, but theres a path from the gate to the door of their barn that I’m sure will never grow anything because of all the foot traffic. I’m thinking of lining a path there with brick pavers and filling in the area between the gate and the front area of their house with pea gravel, but wondering if there’s potential risk of the girls trying to root around in it and accidentally eating some gravel. They’d still have plenty of dirt (hopefully grass again someday soon lol) to root in but is that something we should be worried about?
Love me some piggy lashes ♡
So basically watching pig videos online over the last six months has led me to become a pig enthusiast, and I now I follow a bunch of pet pig accounts on Instagram. And I have to say: it is genuinely shocking how many people have made their pet pot bellies morbidly obese, and seem to be clueless about the harm they’re causing.
I realize pigs will vocally demand food all the time, and people will give in out of love or sympathy. But how do you feed your pet to the point that it’s having trouble walking, or blind because its eyes are covered by its fat folds, and still not be aware that anything is wrong? I find it genuinely mind-boggling!
The vet said it’s just dry skin, but she didn’t take a skin sample to make sure that’s all it is. I’m worried that something is wrong, anyone ever see anything like this before??
Like the title says, pig keeps going in the coop and eating the food. A weeks worth of food is gone in 2 days. Beyond health issues, it’s getting very expensive.
I’m thinking of using 1 1/2 in PVC pipe attached to a bucket with Hal and s pipe so the chickens can peck the food but it’s small enough Wilbur can’t get his snout in.
Anyone else have suggestions? Do I need to go smaller or bigger? Similar to pic.
Life has hit the both of us hard, and we're bouncing baby!
Cyn the pigman, was adopted 4 times, and returned; we've been together since he was 6 months (just turned 6 years!), we don't understand the issue, so we call it Serendipity. Cathartic bonding, who rescued who? Because who returns a tiny, disgustingly adorable, potbelly, let alone, 4 people? What!
He is one perfect little assclown 😍🥰🥰 🐗
Will trade O’s for tricks or scratches! Careful, he will get ya if you’re not quick! Pic from 3ish months ago
