There is a pot-bellied pig that keeps showing up in my yard that is most likely wild seeing as how i have no neighbors and im surrounded by woods. i hear that pot-bellied pigs make wonderful pets so i’m trying to catch it. it seems to be a little shy of humans but will approach me then back away it only shows up at morning and leaves at night so if anyone knows a cheap way to trap pigs without hurtting them let me know.
Are they good pets? Also is the Vietnamese one the one that is smaller? or is the normal pot bellied still about 13 inches too?
Hey everyone, i recently got a guinea pig and I am a total beginner of raising guinea pigs! So far she is escaping and behaving strangely its okay coz i know its normal im giving her all the space she needs to get acquainted, anywho it has been a week and a few days since ive got her, her name is sneakers…
First of all she starts purring and then squeeling when i brush her fur in the opposite direction, first of all i thought she was purring out of happiness but then i realized she was annoyed so i stopped… Anyways i have saw a bit of improvement but not much she still freezes in my hand and even when i put her on the floor she doesnt walk she jst looks around (btw she is a 1 month old baby) is it normal for her?
Now i got her today some hay i think its timothy hay or somewhat kind but she doesnt seem to touch them she jst lays them on the floor and sleeps on top of them. What should i do?
Third, since we r having a huge heat wave im changing her water with cold one around 4 times a day and before i sleep but i want to make a drip bottle since in my country Guinea pigs r rare to find can someone gimme an idea of the mechanism of the dripping bottle so maybe i can make one from available materials?
I know you are bored of these questions but hey, im a guy and im not used to these kind of pets yet but i have grown attached to her and im caring for her good enough but i have these questions for you guys
any help is appreciate it
i thank u for giving me ur time and ur knowledge
Guys i forgot to mention that she eats her veggies normally but the hay she doesnt eat them yet, she loves her lettuce but i give her a wide variety and an occational small piece of apple once a month coz its not that good for them
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
She thinks that I don’t take care of my pets well, but I do! I spend two and a half hours with my two hamsters everyday, and I feed them half dry hamster food and half hamster seed mix, and a little snack of veggies. I clean their cage every week and change their water every other day. I don’t know why she thinks that…
I tried everything. I reminded her everyday that I want one, I showed her pictures of them, I wrote reasons why i want them, why she should let me get one, and what I know about them.
I’m running out of ideas! Please help me get my dream guinea pigs.
10 points for best answer!
I’m fifteen currently, have two cats, one being mine, the other being my sistters, I feed them, brush them, give them water, clean out their litterboxes and even help my dad give my cat her pill. (to keep her kidney values at a good level)
We used to have 6 gerbils, but we no longer do as they died from old age. I kind of miss having a little pet around so I was wondering which rodent pet you would suggest. I’m kind of leaning towards a guinea pig or rat, but the only problem is I heard the vet bills can be quite pricey, and our money is a little tight at the moment because my dad is only a contractor and doesn’t have a permanent job.
By the way, I plan on buying all the supplies and pets myself, I have a job and get paid 50-90 dollars a month, depending on how many hours I work.
What pet do you reccommend for me? Also, are there any stores with pet supplies that aren’t so expensive?
Don’t worry, I don’t plan on buying them from a petstore. I’m vegetarian, and I don’t really support pet stores. ^^;
I tried to Google it several times, but I just can’t find the answer I’m looking for. I want to know if my specific area, Providence, RI (02907) doesn’t allow pot-bellied pigs as pets. My boyfriend and I are considering getting one 
Much Thanks!
If anyone knows specifically then feel free to answer. I know the means by which I -could- figure out, it’s just late here and I was curious. Ty 
Or do they just, for traditional, health and cultural reasons, don’t eat pork but have nothing against the animals personally? Can Jews and Muslims keep pigs as pets, like pot-bellied pigs? Do the people of these religions accept the right for wild pigs and boars to exist, like other animals (giraffes, lions, tigers, etc)?
We were just wondering if the ban on pork is hatred for the animal itself or for social, health and traditional reasons. Just wondering. Thanks!
I really want a micro pig. No, I don’t want a pot belly pig. I want those cute little teacup pigs. My mom won’t let me get a dog because they are, and I quote, "stank and too expensive with all the vet trips and shots". But a micro pig does not smell bad, don’t have fur, and they are smarter than a dog. It seems like the perfect pet for me. But what I want to know is, what are micro pigs like as pets? How big do they get? Where can you buy them in America?
We are researching pot bellied pigs as a potential pet but had a question. Does one sex make better pets than the other? I have found that spay and neutering is a must with both sexes and will make for a much happier less aggressive, and more hygenic pet but curious if one sex tends to have a better temperment than the other either with kids, pets or just in general.
