r/pigs

They aren’t into taking turns though…

My 2 piggies live inside and outside. They are outside most of the day playing around in their pen which has straw, branches, wood etc to keep them busy. They come in at night (and when it rains) sleep with us on the sofa and then go to their own bed. They have started chewing my skirting boards which is driving my insane, I have read this could be either to do with teething or lacking in minerals.
What supplements/minerals can I give them to help?
Picture so it doesn’t get lost.

We live in rural Hawaii. There are a lot of feral pigs around, but they usually keep out of the way of where people live. My partner picked up a skinny stray off the side of the road. People at a sanctuary thought she was about one week old. That was around three weeks ago.

She’s really affectionate and friendly! I see why you folks love your pigs. She had a scratch on her head, but that’s healed up, and she’s growing quickly. Still small enough to sleep on my chest or in my lap. There was a little name debate, but I think we are going with Pua Nani.

I want to keep this sweet girl and take good care of her. I got some advice about food, but I’m not sure how to housetrain her and keep her secure. We live in a residential neighborhood with a decent yard—but it’s not fenced off, and there are a lot of dogs around. We are starting to harness / leash train her. Maybe we need to build a shelter / pen.

I’m a little overwhelmed. I see a lot of info online, but it’s not all for pets; anyone have any recommendations, or “getting started” tips? Sorry, I don’t know where to begin.

LOL

These two have already given me lots of love this morning. I have the dirty snoot prints on my pants to prove it 😂🥰🐽

Em is one of the permanent residents at Animal Sanctuary Poland, and it's safe to say sunny days are her favourite 🥰☀️

Hello! Meet Maple, our geriatric rescue potbelly pig! Something we have been struggling with the last few years with her is in the summertime- she will knock over her water dishes to make mud. It’s usually not a problem when we are home, we just go refill them. But I’m realizing that if we are out of town or something like that, she can go without water for half the day. Are there water troughs made specifically for short little potbelly pigs such as herself? One that she can’t tip over? What do you guys do? All the water troughs I see just seem too tall for her! We will keep her water dishes for mud out back, but I just don’t want her making mud and not having any water left after.

Caught this sweet baby girl taking a sun nap.

Im involved in animal rescue and was just brought this wild baby pig. Hes unresponsive but breathing. I have him on heat. Is there hope? What else can I do to get him moving?
