Just a tip for bath time: Bath time might not ever be easy but I can offer some tips that might help just a little. Put a towel down in the tub/sink (wherever you’re washing your piggy) this helps them from slipping. Get in the tub with them it helps them feel safe for this step you can’t be scared of a little pig poop.. my pig has pooped on me in the bath multiple times. Feed them in the tub. Raisins, whole grain Cheerios, pig treats if you have them whatever your pig enjoys. This helps them understand that bath time doesn’t have to be traumatizing. Take it slow don’t rush them. Don’t drench them with soap and water as soon as they get in. Maybe play with the water and while they are enjoying their snacks put a little bit of water on them and work your way up. Hope this helps

Pigs can feel and show emotions like humans do. They have unique souls! Sometimes we are reborn as animals to experience a different life form- depends on how we lived our lives. We’re not supposed to eat them. We’re to oversee and take care of them as part of our life karma - it’s what we bring with us when we die. Those who neglect, hurt, torture, abuse, and kill any animal will experience hell when they die - bad life karma.

I have two mini pigs. One is a Pot Bellied/Juliana mix and the other is a Kunini. All the reasons you have mentioned about NOT getting a mini pig are actually reasons why you should! The reasons you gave can literally be applied to dogs and cats. Might as well change this title to 7 reasons why NOT to get a pet at all. In any event, having a mini pig is work, but the rewards are worth it. Both my girls bring me so much joy and I wouldn't trade them for the world. I also have 5 cats and one dog. They all get along and my house is one big crazy zoo, but again, wouldn't change it for the world. Also, my solution for the water being on the floor? Put the bowl on a rubberized mat, or what I did was I bought feeders and have them clipped to their pens. They can't knock it over LOL.

100% NO!! And there is no such thing as a "mini pig". People get scammed into thinking these pigs will stay "miniature". There are many breeders that will claim that with the proper diet they can stay at 50lbs. This is a lie in order to sell to people. The TRUTH is that the abused piglet will be purposely malnourished to almost the point of starvation in order to disrupt proper development, stunted growth being one of the horrible side effects. Many of these pigs get abandoned as they grow to 150-250 lbs. They are large animals that are commonly destructive in homes as they get bored and or stressed and NEED proper space, activities, and companionship. Without these they become highly stressed and then people end up abandoning them. Unless you own a farm and are looking for a pig do NOT buy these animals. They are not house pets for just anybody and chances are almost certain that you will end up abandoning them. Do not support this scam industry that put out a lot of misinformation in order to profit and please do not support the vile mistreatment and outright abuse of animals.

Any advice would be very appreciated. I want a pig because some can live 25-30 years but they are too big, some can be 20 years but those are hogs and can be aggressive(I don’t want to take the chance of that) your piggy seems the perfect size and acts like a pit pull. I owned pit bulls and they were very family oriented and hate being picked up. Would squirm out of anyone’s arms but me. Tuck it’s tail and just except master wanted “baby in a basket”. Not saying they will be little tanks that bend to my whim, but the intelligence part is why I want a pig. Also I know some types are territorial and will guard the drove. Especially females who are more explosive. Both seem to know their family but females more dangerous when guarding. I know a guard pig sounds ridiculous but do you know what breed of pig is best for the family? For dogs my go to is a pit bull, I’ve had a lab and a pit, husky, and chow and the pit was by far the most family friendly and also scariest.. not that it broke any rules but the amount of deer it brought to the house was startling
