Ok my parents have agreed that I can get a pot bellied pig if i build his pen for when we’re not home.
I need to know how much room a potbellied pig needs and what i should use for materials for the pen.

i am 14 yrs. olld and me and my family are thinking about getting a pot bellied pig =). i would like to hav infromation/good links to how to take care of pigs/piglets the right way. as in do they need litter box,wat we feed him,and basic care needs. also we hav a 12 yrs. old cocker spaniel dog. our dog is very very calm and is it a good idea to hav a pig and a dog, i’ve read that it works fine wirth pigs and dogs but i wanna be sure. thank you soo much.
i am interested in getting a pot bellied pig but i want to know all i can before i get one!!
The stock includes: 8 emus, 3 ostriches, 18 goats, 2 zebras, 5 llamas, 7 miniature horses, 4 full size horses, 5 mini burros, a donkey, a pot-bellied pig, and a family of fallow ("canadian spotted") deer. I will have a feeding schedule already in place, along with monthly vet visits, and I know basic handling of the animals. I need advice as to how to keep them busy and their minds stimulated (eg, toys, games etc.), as their current care is VERY basic. I am planning to take riding and care lessons for horses when we move there, but I would love any hints and personal experience advice!

I couldn’t remember his name from the movie.

Well I volunteer at a vets office and we have a 5 week old pot bellied pig as a clinic pet, well every week someone takes it home and sometimes it will be me! Well either it will get along with my other animals (2 dogs, 2 cats, 3 birds, and a turtle) or we’ll keep him away from the other pets so I’m not worried about that. How should I take care of him? he’s eating solid food so that’s not an issue! help. please & thank you
We just got a pot-bellied pig due to my husband, who’s a police officer. I’m not very thrilled about it, but my kids are, so we’re keeping it. The thing is, I have no clue what to feed it, if it needs its shots, or if we should take it to the vet. PLEASE help me out! Thanks!
