    Pot bellied pigs

    I have three pots and none of them root up my grass. They graze like the horses do. The only thing they root up are my potatoes. Mind you they have free range of 120 acres but they stay near the house. They are escape artists, electric fence will keep them in til they find a dead spot. They are...

    Is he by himself? It could be that he is just lonely and wants more attention.

    Proud Mama of a new puppy! New Pics added weekly :-)

    Maybe he has a bit of saint bernard in him. His fluffy coat reminds me of one. He is a cutie.

    Should I get another pot belly pig?

    My girl was happier when it was just her. They fight at meal time and my first pig was a lot friendlier before I got the second pig. The two I have sleep together but that is it. They are hardly ever near each other in the pasture. Hard to say which is better.

    Pot Belly Pig - Adequate Accomodations?

    Sorry I don't have any pictures, but I have a six by twelve barn that they sleep in. The pen is a work in progress because I can't get the boar to stay in anything. I will probably have to build a pen out of plywood or a solid board fence for him. My girl just hangs out where ever and goes to...

    Pot Belly Pig - Adequate Accomodations?

    I know that if a pig wants out good luck keeping them in. I have a sow she is awesome doesn't have to be in a fence just hangs out in my yard. Then I got a boar (that is going to be neutered) and he doesn't stay in anything. He destroys wire fences, crawls under tight barb wire and runs through...

    how an what to hand feed piglets??? urgent

    Could be iron deficiency. They will scream their bloody little heads off while you are trying to help them so be ready for that. Your farmer friend gave you decent advise, worth a try. Make sure to watch them for diarrhea

    Horse's frog -- should it be this way?

    Horses naturally shed their frogs. It will just flake off as it grows out.

    Woud loaches eat water snails?

    I tried having snails in my tank but the cichlids pestered them and killed them. So maybe some cichlids would keep the population down.

    I have a very pregnant pot bellied pig

    The vet that I talked to recommended infant iron drops. I don't know how much you would use for injecting. The babies can't regulate their own body heat so they need a source of heat as they chill easy. Best of luck.

    I have a very pregnant pot bellied pig

    The little piggies will probably need a heat lamp so they have a warm place away form the sow. That way they might not get squished. They get chilled really easily. Make sure they get some kind of iron or you stand a horrible chance of losing them. Good luck they are cute and loud. Don't let...

    My Potbelly Is Pregnant. What do I do? -Babies are here! *Updated with Pics*

    Make sure to give them the iron. You will probably lose them if you don't especially if they are inside. You can give them baby iron drops I was told. Hope you have good luck with them.
