r/pigs

I haven't posted these guys in a while. I thought y'all might like to see Wilbur's progress. He's been on a diet for about a year and a half now. Big boy is doing great! Winnie is my only nekkid baby hippo right now!

Here's another video for y'all. I can't stand how cute they are. 😍

Peanut and Pickle run straight to the bird feeder every morning. I love their little fat butts 🤣

As much as I’d love to keep my new babies indoors they are going to be outside piggies! But I want them to live luxuriously of course, so I’d love to see your shelters/houses and bonus points for cute enclosures! These are my girls, Peach (the tri) and Plum (the spotted) they are SO loved.

1. He seems to be covered in small cuts and scratches from getting through fences and sunburnt. Should I try to clean them or just leave them be?
2. We have some goats but haven’t had pigs before. Anything I should avoid him getting into? I saw that mineral was a no-go usually. Should I let him interact with my goats and dogs? We have three small dogs who are very prey driven but they seem like they want to be his friend through the fence.
3. Should I look into dewormer? Having him fixed? I didn’t want to add anymore animals to our little bit of land but he’s very cute.
4. Anyone know what kind of pig he is or how big he might get?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

EDIT: Squealy Dan has a loving home with other pigs, kids, and livestock set up following his 10 day hold with us (per Animal Control). Thank you all for your help! We’d love to keep him but are already tight on space and can’t take on more pigs to be his friends. His little oinks are making it tough though.

got that little spotted fella and his brother. now playing the waiting game on gaining their trust. whenever im in the pen they just huddle in this corner. hopefully the chickens being all over me is helping show that im no threat

Recently my brother rescued from the trash—yes, from the trash, damn people—some puppies. Now our little pig has become the alpha; they follow him everywhere and copy his behavior. They are so adorable

my neighbors potbelly pigs had babies on april first and they are ready to leave mom. im going to adopt this little fella but i was wondering if i have to take a sibling as well? id hate for him to be lonely. hes going to be living with my chickens but i will be spending lots of time with him as i do my birds. also, how do i gain his trust? all the babies are very skiddish
