Which breed of pig is best to keep as a pet?

BestPotbellyPigs — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 20:00:46 +0000

I need to buy a new house gift for a friend, and what better than a cute little piggy?!

I’d like to know which breed of pig will grow the slowest, and also which ones will stay the smallest. they won’t be used for meat so the smaller the better!

i also need to know which breeds are friendliest, how much it costs to keep one each year (food, etc), and if they get lonely on their own and are best to have company.

I know that is a lot to ask, but it much be much appreciated! thanks!
I’m not looking for guinea pigs, she has a large garden and is used to looking after big animals. thanks, though!
@LaLuna
I don’t think there was any need to call me "stupid". I clearly have an idea that she wants a pet pig, otherwise i wouldn’t be trying to find out information about it. I just needed to know more about each breed so i didn’t need to ask her and ruin the surprise. I didn’t expect to need to explain myself in this post, just asking for advice. If you aren’t willing to help with a question, just ignore it and get on with your life in future.

how to convince my parents to get me a guinea pig fast?

BestPotbellyPigs — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 19:32:48 +0000

i always wanted a dog, but we’re not alowed to have cats or dogs in my house. so, i decided on the closest thing to a loving friendly little animal and "guinea pig" was the first thing that came to mind.the only pet i had in this house before is a bird. but in my life i’ve had cats and dogs many times. i love animals. my parents think im not reponsible enough to get a pet guinea pig. they say this because lately i havent been cleaning my room and all that stuff. im willing to do all that if it means to have my own furry friend. also, i did tons of research on guinea pigs, and know im capable oh keeping one. my parents say that in order for me to get a pet, i should b able to take care of myself first. what is the quickest way you think i can convince them im capapble? and i know i have to keep my room clean, im working on that.

THANKS FOR UR ANSERS.

BEST ANSWER GETS 10 POINTS.

I really need help . . . I'm emotionally and mentally hurt? (So is my dog!) Help! 10 points to best answer!?

Sorry it’s so long!

Okay, so my brother-in-law "rescued" a dog, Spenser. But . . . My brother-in-law never took care of Spenser. So my parents and I took Spenser in. Then my brother-in-law stopped working. As soon as his little baby girl came along. Apparently, to him it’s perfectly fine for a little girl to live in apartments all her life. Cheap apartments at that. So then my brother-in-law decided that Spenser needs to move to Florida where we’ll never see Spenser again! And only a month and one day after my guinea pig passed away! Spenser’s half chuahuah and half dachsund, and today when I saw a dachsund, I started bawling and worked up a major migraine and a fever from crying so much. And later today I just collapsed on the floor, crumpled up and cried. And my dog, Mar Bellana, loved to play with Spenser, and she refuses to eat or drink much at all, because she’s depressed! And last night when my cousin tried to pet Mar Bellana, I attacked him and said "You’ll act like she’s your’s then rip her away from me like the souless monster my brother-in-law is!" And I started crying. I now have thoughts of suicide, but I’m also way too over-protective of my animals, so I don’t try suicide, which gives me migraines, fevers, etc. I’m also going through puberty, and I’m majorly moody, which doesn’t help. At all.

And when my neice (as I mentioned earlier), Sara, came along, I became suicidal because no one paid attention to me. I choked myself in front of my parents, threatened to run away, said I’d kill myself after I killed them, etc. I was a mess. Now I love her to bits . . . I just thought I’d say that in case it mattered . . .

How much does a Vietnamese pot-bellied pig cost?

BestPotbellyPigs — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 13:02:34 +0000

well. it’s in the dog section because there wasn’t a section for pigs

and since pigs can be as intelligent as dogs, why not?
im pretty sure that the questions for specific animals also shows up in the general pets question

PLEASE HELP ME CONVINCE MY MOM TO LET ME ADOPT 2 GUINEA PIGS?

BestPotbellyPigs — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 18:24:57 +0000

Ok so I made her a booklet and everything. She won’t tell what she’s thinking about and avoids all conversation about it. I have 3 cats and i have thought about ways to keep the cavies safe and I wouldn’t even lets them in the room or the cavy out without a playpen. I’m not trying to be cocky but i’m very responsible and smart, i know i am. I understand more than people my age and i am more mature than most of my peers. I love animals and appreciate every little thing people say to me. So when I want my guinea pigs this bad and have done research on them, it drives me nuts! I try to ask her about it but she tries to avoid it completely! When i had my first 2 cats my mom promised me a bird. I was so excited but later my mom asked me if i would want another cat instead. I was younger back then and a little oblivious let alone caught up in the excitement. So i agreed and we got Carly our 3rd cat. I love all of my cats and my dad’s dog dearly but i want something new, I always have. I have gone from snakes, to terrapins, sugar gliders, hamsters and finally guinea pigs. I honestly think they are the best for me. One problem she won’t let me get one! (or 2) I appreciate all my animals but i want my own responsibility so i have someone who relies on me. I want responsibility. I love animals and i want to be familiar with different animals. My parents are divorced and my dad just got a dog. One of my moms concerns is that she’ll be stuck taking care of them when im at my dads house. I know they don’t like to travel but my dad’s house is literally a block away! ( i know weird) I’m getting my own room at my dads house soon because his house is going under renovation. I would take care of them in my room. I would have a cage set up there too probably still a C&C cage but a slightly smaller one like 2×3. I really want them and i don’t want to beg for them. I feel like she won’t talk to me and she’s not doing any research. I don’t even know why she doesn’t want them! It pisses me off because its like shes given up already without doing research. Like she hears me but shes not interested enough to give it a chance. If you could help me convince her or give suggestions thanks!!

also : I will adopt from a local guinea pig and hamster rescue.

i’m not pestering my mom but she won’t talk about it at all!
Teresa Curcurio I appreciate you trying to help but i have done tons of research on guinea pigs, i’m a straight A student and im very mature. I’m fine with waiting but i just want a permission. I think waiting a month for a horse is different from waiting 6 months for guinea pigs. Thanks for trying to help but don’t question my maturity when waiting a month is a lot for you.

What is the best way to clean a scull?

BestPotbellyPigs — Sat, 31 Jul 2010 18:48:12 +0000

I have tried boiling it and got most of the flesh off. But lots of little bits remain that I can;t get off.
My first attempts were with a rat, Guinea Pig and rabbit. They are all different very much so in the teeth. Like to try a cat but my cat is still alive! What other animals would be easy to get. Hoping to find a dead fox on the road soon.

What are these little rubber animals called?

BestPotbellyPigs — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 18:36:09 +0000

They are like these little rubber animals you can fit on the top of a pencil. (ex. pig, cow, You find them in the change machines at the mall or something, but I was wondering squirrel, bear) if you can get them online. If you give me a link or something, I’d be happy to pick you as best answer for 5 stars! Thanks!
