Hi i am new and i need to know anything about pot bellied pig's how do you treat your pig's? What do you feed your pig's? Do they act up? If so what do they do? What is rooting? Where do you find a litter box big enough for a pig? You can't use a cat litter box can you? That would be to small... Is there a such thing as a pig sunscreen? What if there are flea's outside can my pig catch flea's? Will it die? How do i get rid of the flea's? Tell me anything you know much apricated love from nicole if you have anything you missed email me at nickysticky_10@hotmail.com

Oh what are ear mite's? How do i clean my pig's ear's? What is fileing your pig's hoofe? What do you use? Where would i find a pig harness? Can he get out of it? Can pig's get along with snake's? Lizard's or Cat's?

look up ear mites on the net. you would clean the ears out with a wet cloth. you get the hooves trimmed by a vet. on of the sites i gave you actually sells pig harnesses (not sure which one though you will have to check) just like with any animal, it can get along with other animals but their is no guarantee. pbp's take a good bit of work and time. they are more work than a dog or cat would be.

i have a cat and a snake and a lizard and i stay home all day everyday except for the weekend's but i don't go out very much that's why i want a pig it will be like a hobbie and if it get's along with all my other pet's then that's a huge bonus... do you have to have a permit or license to own a pot bellied pig? Um are they legal in canada? Can i feed them milk in a bottle like feeding a baby calf or will that hurt them? How do i know what pig to buy i want to wait til i find the right one but what if what if its sick how do i find out the symtom's and i am still writing stuff out fromt he site's you gave me thank you so much but i need so much more then this my dad's as strict as a snake snake's are actully cool but ya know?

Owning a pet is not a hobby, it is a job, and you have to love your job very much. I hope that you misworded that phrase.
