need some help

[Moondust]

Alright, one of my friends kinda dumped a mini potbellied pig on me. Or yeah, thats pretty much what happened. I dont mind cause I love exotic animals, however I only know a little me bit on them. I got her food and this powdered milk that I have to give her three times a day. I know the basics on them and I baught a book...they seem pretty straight foreward in the care area. However I have a couple of questions. If anyone knows anything about them or knows a site that can direct me that would be fantastic.

1 ) She keeps trying to suckel my leg. She'll push her nose all around my clothes and try to suckel there. Is that normal?

2 ) when do I take her off the powdered milk?

3 ) Whats the easiest way to potty train?

4 ) do they get along with dogs?

5 ) I heard wood chips were the best for litter. Is there anything else I should stay away from/ should get?

6 ) She wont eat her hard pellets and only drinks her milk. Is she eating enough?

Yeah, alot of questions and typically I dont rush into getting a pet without taking alot of time to consider them and read up on them. I have a friend that has a potbellied pig but he's in a different state, still I know the basics because of him yet I still lack experience. My friend said when she got the pig from the store they told her it was seven weeks, I could put a pic up and see if you can estimate her age.

could you please put a pic? Sounds like it's not weaned yet, leave the grains as an option but continue feeding the milk. If she is not weaned, she is suckling you leg because she sees you as mom and a real pig mom is typically a 24/7 milk free-for-all. Thats really all I know. I'm gonna take a shot here and say use the wee-wee pads like you would a dog but I'm not sure, so double check. Also, dogs and pigs I am guessing can be together if socialized properly. But, others may disagree...like here:

that is a good website though so you should check it out.
also, when you say mini, there is no "mini" pot-bellied pigs, just runts bred to runts. They typically have health problems due to their internal organs growing faster than there bodies and other things. I'm gonna take another shot here and say use hay as bedding but I'm not 100% sure, just like with the potty training. What enclosure is she typically being kept in? Also, about pushing things around, pigs naturally "root" up the ground (or clothes) to look for food. You can also start leash training if you want to . Pigs are lots of fun and people say they are smarter than dogs. Good luck with your baby and can't wait to see pics!
