I can't tell you much about pigs. I have only had mine for a couple of months. Housing needs to be strong I know. Jazzy is mostly confined in her house because of her bleeding issue, which she doesn't mind, as you can see she sleeps on a bed. So far outside my chain linked fence keeps her in. As for food she is on a gestational diet and gets kale, greens, tomatoes, squash, and lettuce from my garden. Occasionally she will get an apple or peach but not often(I have a hard time sharing my peaches with the kids lmao). A kiddy pool is good to have, Jazzy loves to go roll in the mud then lay in her pool. Put them in a place you don't mind the yard to get torn up, the love to root and you can't stop them from doing it. There is a lot more to it, but this is what I have learned having` her. Oh and they can be litter boxed train, but you have to make sure it is big enough. lol found that out the hard way, I had one and at first it was big enough then she grew and she used it but would stand in the box and it would go over the edge. lol

Thank you !! :) we don't plan on getting them for awhile but would be nice.Boyfriend has always wanted pigs. But gotta build them a house first :) and fencing of course.

Just a little FYI on some piggy info. You all know they are very smart. They also do not forget and are not too forgiving. When my piggies were staying in my house my chihuahua would randomly attack my male pig. I would never know when it was coming he would just shoot up and go after him. He did it often but never really injured my pig. Well I moved them to the garage because I'm breeding them and they are not getting fixed and they started to stink up my house. Any hoo, my pig is now bigger than my chihuahua and they can not be outside at the same time because my male pig will not stop attacking him. Which the first time he did I let him cuz payback is a B! Just thought I'd share that, it was funny at first but it kind of sucks now.
 
I can agree with you on that prairiek. I had a Doberman and another dog, fluffy, that attacked jazzy(duhhh it is this forum). I found my Doberman a home, but not the other dog. Jazzy was tolerant of fluffy but did not trust him. When they were on opposite sides of the fence jazzy would tease fluffy because she new he couldn't get to her. She was also afraid of him. But she is not afraid of my little dogs and doesn't tease or be mean to them. Oh and an update on Jazzy. The swelling in her vulva has gone down a lot and her belly does not seem as big. Again it makes me wonder if she was pregnant but has lost all or most of the babies. She still has her mammary glands swollen. I had cut down on the amount of food I had been giving her but not by much. I had been giving her a dog bowl full twice a day. Now she gets half a dog bowl twice a day.
 
Maybe she's going through a false pregnancy.

... Numerous causes and conditions contribute to NIP sows; however, pseudopregnancy (or false pregnancy) is perhaps the most difficult to understand, diagnose or prevent. In brief, pseudopregnancy can occur when all of the embryos are resorbed after the maternal recognition of pregnancy and before fetal calcification (Days 30-40 of gestation). Although the embryos are lost, the sow's ovaries continue to function as if the animal was pregnant. Consequently, the sow remains anestrus for prolonged periods, often as long as 115 days. These animals may exhibit varying degrees of udder development, yet fail to deliver any pigs, alive or dead. Unfortunately, producers often mistakenly diagnose these animals as pregnant....
