Well, it sounds good minus the brains part. Not sure I could get over it... Maybe if someone didn't tell me, haha.

I always tell people to just try a bite and if they don’t like it, I’ll eat it. Explains the weight gain because of my picky brother. I can’t stand to waste food.

Potbelly’s can be dangerous too. I’ve seen some pretty nasty gashes from tusks. I’ve seen plugs taken out of legs and fingers bit off. Potbelly’s are hard to contain as well. Miss Piggy escaped quite a lot.

Oh wow that sounds terrifying!! I’m scared to have one now lol

I never really think of myself as picky but I guess in some ways I am cause there’s a lot I won’t even try lol

Thank you. That makes a lot sense. I’ve heard they are pretty hard to keep contained too? Super strong and super smart. Although I guess with a pet maybe that wouldn’t be an issue. I imagine the pet ones are probably quite different? Can’t imagine anyone would have dangerous pigs living with them.

I don't know anything about the pet ones, unfortunately. They are definitely hard to contain because they're so strong and persistent. We get a lot of old galvanized pipe at work so we put up hog panels and then lagged 1" pipe to the posts. That worked pretty darn well, but every once in a while...

They'd get out stop traffic and the whole nine haha. They were fun, though.

I’ll try anything once. I have tried muskrat, opossum, beaver, frog, turtle, snake, bear, and a few others.

Haha! A farm up the road leading into the hamlet has that happen every time it rains. Miss Piggy is kept in with two 75lbs gates that has a center pole and tightened cattle fencing.

What did you play? I took piano lessons for a while, when I was pretty young, but played the trumpet throughout middle and highschool.

I played Trombone.

I almost have the picture ready and will post it soon.
