Oh my gosh ! he's getting BIG!! here Pig PIG.....Oh I hope I get one for Christmas....probably not...but heres to dreaming .....thanks for the updates...so what would one feed a piggy like Horton...

Well, he is supposed to get potbelly pig food, about 1 cup a day, but it was too expensive when I first got his food, and now they don't have it

, so he gets sow & pig feed. I probably feed him too much, but he stays in the barn with the bunnies, so I figure a little bit extra won't hurt. He needs some chunkiness to keep warm! Plus he gets leftover pieces of fruit, and whatever other kinds of fruits and veggies we have!

I also like the name, it's very fitting! Has he tamed down now? I doubt your over feeding him, he looks really good! My Hilda has fat rolls (and right now she's pushing her bowl around hinting that I should fill it), but since she's only 5 weeks old I'm not to worried about it.

So how big is he at this point? Hard to tell w/out anything to compare him to. He still looks so little!

that is one adorable pig...too bad he can't stay that small forever...

They make the neatest sounds, chirps, clicks, bird sounds...friends who have now left town due to medical had one just before they left, named "Breakfast" and she was a real sweety, not for eating!

Hmmm...well, I'm not sure how much he weighs, I would say at least 20 pounds, but I'm not sure. He is about as tall (at his shoulder) as the 4 month old sebright pullets that like to hang out with him! I will try to get a pic of him next to 'something' that gives an idea of how big. He is still pretty small, but he is definitely FAT!!
ETA: He has tamed down some, but he still tries to run away. He is not near as scared as he was, but he still needs some patience!
