Does he shart? I heard pigs shart a lot.

[Neveragain]

heh. very cool.

[Gelston]

How big is it supposed to get?

[Allereli]

what's his name?

[Methais]

No name yet. His dad was around 40 pounds, and this one was the runt so probably 30-35 once he's grown. He's 3 weeks old.

Pigs, like chihuahuas, can be great pets as they are very smart and trainable. But pigs, like chihuahuas, tend to be ignored in the training department and become horrible shit creatures that everybody hates except the dumb owner because they are dumb. Plus "small" pigs still tend to be about 100lbs, so can be MUCH more destructive when left untrained.

If it won't be cute when he outweighs you, it's not cute now. Train your pets!

[Khariz]

I would totally have a pet pig.

[Tisket]

False.

True!

Baby pigs are cute but most baby animals are cute.

A grown pig that lumbers around with all that skin and nostrils you can see down? Not so cute.

[Tisket]

I'd also like to point out that the porcine parent's size is not a good predictor for the baby pig's adult size. I hope you don't end up with a 300 pound berserker hog.

If you do, post video please.

[Jhynnifer]

My gf is gonna train him because she has the time and patience for it.

I don't expect it to get huge. A friend of mine has had one for years and it's about the size of a basset hound, just not as long. It depends how you feed them too, because they'll pretty much never turn down food. And if it gets huge, then I'll have an extra garbage can with legs that oinks.

No name yet. It's my gf's pig so she gets to name him, and right now she's too obsessed with his piggyness to do anything else but obsess over his piggyness.

I'm already starting to feel guilty about bacon.

He looks like he just told a joke and is waiting for a reaction:

[Dazmar]

If it seems smart you should name it Albert Einswine. If if it does get to be a 200 hundred pound raging hogmonster you can always rename it to Barbie. If ya catch my drift...

[Methais]

Turns out the Juliana breed are the ones that don't get huge. His dad is one of those, and his mom is half and half. They take like 5 years before they're full grown so we'll still find out what happens before Savants.

[LivderaDeralleur]

My husband totally keeps bugging me to get a pet pig and I keep telling him 'no' like the horrid taskmaster of a wife I am.

(Secretly I'd probably be OK with it if we had enough money and a big enough house in case it turned out to be huge. But shh.)

Congrats. He sounds cute.

3 weeks seems young, though, to be taken away from mom. What is he eating at that age?

[LivderaDeralleur]

And another potential punny pig name:
Chris P. Bacon.

You can make the "P" stand for whatever you like.

He eats baby cereal and milk for now. I don't remember what he'll move onto from there but eventually they just eat anything.

[Ososis]

please do not underfeed your pet to perpetrate the teacup BS. Mom and Dad are probably less than 2 years old themselves. There is no 35lb breed.

[Tisket]

Something tells me that, if Meth is going to err in any direction, it's going to be in overfeeding rather than underfeeding.

[LivderaDeralleur]

If he's still eating milk, is he even supposed to be away from his mother?

I would think pigs would be at least similar to dogs in that respect and puppies shouldn't be taken from their mothers until at least 8 weeks old or they can get psychological/behavior issues.

I'm certain you guys are going to take awesome care of him and everything - no judging. I just had a bit of a 'red flag' moment in my head for the breeder if they sell piglets that aren't weaned yet.

[Taernath]

It's cool; Methais breastfeeds them.

Robert Pickton could tell us a tale or two.

[Methais]

Unfortunately neither of these are the piggy from OP. He ended up having some sort of birth defect with his heart and died after about a week and a half. Vet said there wasn't much of anything that could have been done about it. :(

These are the new ones we got in August:

No they produce healthy full sized piggy logs. Pig logs. Plogs.

I'm sorry to hear about your original recipe baby bacon but the honey and brown sugar cured recipes are looking delicious!

Seriously, though... cut piggies! You're making me want one and Durakar already said I couldn't have anymore pets.

Just tell him piggies are people too. It's like having a dog that oinks.

You'll have to ask his mom. When she lets you know, let me know the dimensions and I'll give a side by side.

I never knew pigs could haul ass either. We actually have 3 right now. The 3rd is my gf's daughter's and is visiting for a while. They're all from the same litter and he's the runt. The brown one is the medium one and the female is the fat one. They're small, medium, large.

I wanna get a few cheap indoor dog houses like the one below and make them look like straw, wood, and brick, and I guess dress my dachshund up as a wolf or something.

Holy shit! Girthy. I thought #3 was just supposed to be temporary? Real talk though, do you ever just sprawl out across them and enjoy a couch of pig?

[Methais]

Holy shit! Girthy. I thought #3 was just supposed to be temporary?

#3 ended up being permanent. Which I pretty much expected even when it was supposed to be temporary. They're all from the same litter and have been together since they were born so I wouldn't want to split them up anyway.


Real talk though, do you ever just sprawl out across them and enjoy a couch of pig?

The brown one and the small one sleep on the couch a lot. The other one I think is too fat to get up there. She made it up once, and somehow ended up stumbling off back to the floor, I don't think she quite figured out how to turn herself around on the couch to get situated, and then she never tried again. They go nuts if you try to pick them up because most pigs are like that, so assisting isn't really an option either.

But yeah, sometimes I'll get on the floor and they'll all run over and pig pile me. They're a lot like dogs. Dogs are still cooler, but pigs are still cool af too.

I've seen the potential, but the one I was around for any length of time was a spoiled shit monster and I hated him. He got punched in the head a couple times for straight attacking me over food or even just something he thought was food. But he did a couple tricks and solved food puzzles and shit which was cool, but its a big fucking animal to be biting at me like Hoglin Keller. I am not a fan of that kind of "training" but there is a threshold of danger/mass (dog or pig) where the only lesson to be taught is 'I will bite you back". Anyway, a pig would be a cool pet with any sort of effort, Leonardo Fibonacci was a wild hog though.

[Stumplicker]

Once I was trying to catch some wild pigs and I got in a tree near a herd of pigs and tried to rope them. I got the first one and put my family's brand on it but the second one pulled me out of the tree and I got pig swarmed. They bit me up pretty bad but luckily my dog showed up and then ran and got help while I nursed my wounds. It is a good story because it's true.

You're usually better off having just 1, as when you have 2 or more they'll usually bond more with each other instead of the owner. Will still bond with the owner, they'll just bond more to each other. For about the first year they were basically a street gang of pure destruction. Like a puppy, but with a ton more raw strength. And mouths that could literally eat my whole house. But they've chilled out a good bit since then and there's pretty much no destruction anymore.

Except when they sometimes try to eat visitors. They think they're protecting the pack, but they're not too bad about that anymore unless that person really sucks. They can tell when someone sucks, and they hate those people. Because those people suck and deserve to be eaten.

You should pick out the one that's the most protective against intruders and rename it Fiorello La Guardian.

Turn pig around.

While still not a great behavior, I have (limited) patience for protective instinct and defensive behaviors against strangers. I've worked with dogs with all sorts of issues of food/dog/stranger/bicycle aggression, but getting attacked because I was eating an apple in another room is dumb AF and it's a trick I've only seen performed by pig. That one god damn pig.

I just don't let people who suck come over and things are usually ok. They usually chill as soon as I say something. They might be trying to play for all I know though, they never actually act violent. They're scared shitless of the dog too. She traumatized them not long after they first got here because she's an asswipe.

When I got my new dog, the people there had a massive pig. He just wandered around at will. They feed him apples while I was there and he never got aggressive or anything.
