Pot Belly Pig Care For Beginners

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Becky goes over pot belly pig care step by step. The first principle of pot belly pig care is to make friends with your pig by giving her treats. You also need to make sure the pen she lives in is big enough and that she has a tub to bathe in. And make sure you don't feed your pig too much because they get fat really easy.

    We just did the same as you. Left the big rat race and bought a farm. We homeschool our children and self sustain. I have two hogs and this is very informative.

    Contact your local animal shelters, if they don't have one, they may put you on a list or put you in contact with someone who is looking for an adopter. A lot of people take them on and end up getting rid of them because its more than they bargained for.

He wasnt feed correctly and is very thin. I'm new to pigs but I'm the type of person to research everything till I know all the information I can then learn the rest by experience.

    Thank you SO much for rescuing him. Please don't take this video's advice on feeding. Feed Pot belly pig (specific) kibble, and lots of fresh vegies and occasional fruits. Fresh water always - esp when eating their kibble. And change that pool water regularly. It can get filled with bacteria and become unhealthy. Your pig could use a checkup, and should have his nails done, and teeth checked. (The vet may want you to give him vitamins/mineral supplements for a while.)

    I don’t give my animals meds. The best thing you can do for your pig is not over feed it and give it the biggest pen you can, so it can walk around. Pigs hate blazing sun, so make sure it has dark shade. Build it a pig house like Neil’s and give it hay so it can build a nest in its house. Give it a big water pan! ☀️❤️☀️
