yummy

It's so fat and so cute 😭 It's got me wondering if it's overweight or do pigs look like this normally? It's not mine!!! I was just at this local farm.

She tried to help with my pt by cuddling 🖤

My wife, my daughter and myself all make him comfortable and wait for him to fully flop. Then my daughter pulls his upper lip out of the way and I hook the wire saw (gigli saw) and I start going back and forth with it. It goes pretty quickly. He resists, but he never gets up and runs. Then I nit off the sharp edges with large nail clippers when it's done. And he always gets treats afterwards. Like grapes or strawberries.

I cit off about 2cm off this one. He likes my leg over his face in the evening, and this particular tusk was getting close to cutting my let every night when he fidgets around. But he's a good boy and knows it's needed. He let's me do his hooves too.

It’s been a week since we picked up our Peppa and she’s doing great! She’s 9 weeks old today and is downstairs in her little pen apartment in our basement. I feel bad that she’s down there all the time even though I spend a lot of time throughout the day sitting with her and petting her. At what point did you start to introduce your pig to the rest of the house? I don’t want to confuse her or take her too far away from her litter box since she’s still adjusting. Thanks in advance!

I cleaned the piggy cages today and they were so happy! 10 of the girls in these cages are available for adoption!

Academically he’s no genius; that doesn’t stop him.

I’m not going to look it up, we wanted personal thoughts- the word “nosy” at its inception, initial intended usage- human, critter, pig, abstract from the get?

Tusker was stressed over barn expansion work this weekend. Not sure if I want to extend the A frame over his pen or not (I dont know if he would let the concrete settle either). He's chilled out since we're done setting the ones closer to his pen

My question is for anyone who has lost a pig child what did you ask for when you had them cremated?

Trigger Warning: My 10mth old mini pig daughter died unexpectedly under very suspicious circumstances and I am getting a forensic necropsy done bc I and many others suspect foul play by the vets.

I am bereft and devastated.

I’m already going to ask for snout and hoof prints and her hair from her tailtip as well as some from her body bc she had red highlights. Is there anything else? I saw some people ask for their teeth and at first I thought that was morbid but after thinking about it I actually might ask for her underbite front teeth because I already miss her smile. Is there anything else I should have them do or save before they start searching for cause of death?

Thank you for your ideas. Please be nice. I’m grieving heavily bc I loved her so much.

Hi everyone, we brought home our 8 week old female piglet last week and she came trained to use litter box with pine litter and I’ve seen her go both pee and poop in it, but she’s been increasingly going pee beside the box, in between her food and water bowls and the litter box. I tried to put a snuffle mat there with treats to let her know that’s a place for eating not peeing but she ended up just eating the treats and then peeing on the mat. She was also peeing on blankets near her bed so I removed some and it seems like she stopped that. I’ve been cleaning accidents thoroughly with enzymatic cleaner but she’s still going there. I’m wondering if she’s mad about something or still just settling in. Posting a picture of our set up with the area she’s been peeing in circled. I did have the litter box low opening turned towards the food bowls but I moved it towards her bed so she access easier at night but maybe she is mad about that 😂 Usually the fluffy pink blanket you see next to her bed isn’t in there, that’s just padding for my butt while I sit and try to spend time with her to get her to warm up to me, when it was in here with her at first, she was peeing on it too. Thanks for any advice in advance!

I mowed a bunch of leaves and spread them in an area we're slowly leveling out. Bean decided it's great for rooting in!

I love my chunky piggies

Not my OC, but too cute not to share!
