A few months ago we bought our two pigs a new house. It’s a used coop of some sort. We bought it from an old kids museum that had been closed for years and taken over by the state so the sellers didn’t know what animal was in there before. We cleaned it really good with vinegar and hot water and filled it with straw. Our pigs rarely use it…

I put a bunch of straw in their pin to keep them warm since they wouldn’t use the house and they prefer to sleep outside on the ground instead of in their warm house… I’m wondering if they don’t like the floor in the new house? there’s a back plastic type cover on the floor but I’ve covered it with straw. Not sure what to do, it snowed last night and they still didn’t use the house.

So this morning when my partner was out going to work he found our pig eating almost all of her food and forgot to tell me so I went and fed her again and my sister also gave her some banana bread so now she’s super bloated and I’m worried she ate way too much. She’s acting normal besides being understandably a bit more lazy, she’s drinking water and her gums are her usual pink. I took her in over a year ago without having any savings beforehand and I’ve been struggling with money recently so I can’t take her to the vet unless it’s urgent and they take payments. My sister mentioned giving her pepto and I’m wondering if any of you have experience with giving pepto to pigs and if I should consider it as I’m not finding much online. Also if there is any other advice I would greatly appreciate it.

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!

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?
