When it comes to keeping a pet pig, many times it’s not ideal in a family's circumstances to keep a pig in the house. Or you have a pig that was raised in the house but they moved themselves outside, they like to be outside and that is where they want to stay permanently. How do I feel about this? I’m cool with it because a pig's natural habitat is outside. I have several outside pigs. They each have a fenced in area for them and they each have shelter and a buddy. It works very well.

If you have a pet pig, most likely you have tried to give them a bath. There is a 50/50 chance that it did not go well. Giving a pig a bath can be traumatic for the pig and us.

2023/10/17

Let’s talk about pig eyes. How do we take care of our pigs eyes? What are some common complaints about a pig’s eyes that we should be aware of? Overall pigs do not see well, they have poor eyesight. This is a genetic thing that is passed down from pig to pig. Some of that is due to the placement on the head, or just due to genetics. Think about the placement of the eyes on the pig’s head.

Can My Pet Pig Comfortably Ride in the Car?

The Pet Pig Podcast ·

2023/09/05

Does your pig like to ride in the car? Most pigs don't. Pigs have a high fear instinct. That instinct in the wild is what keeps them alive. When we bring them into our world and introduce them to people things, like riding in a car can be very difficult for them if that skill hasn’t been practiced over time. It is very important to teach our pig to be comfortable in the car, and if they can’t get comfortable, we want them to at least tolerate it well. We don't want to wait for an emergency to be
