Pet pig enclosure

[eggspecto_patronum]

Getting a pot belly pig tomorrow and just need to double check her setup for inside. Is there anything I'm missing, need to add or doing wrong?
The fencing is temporary until Monday when her actual pen gets here.
It heavy duty panel 5x5x4.

That should work temporarily. Have you ever had a potbelly before? They grow quite big

Very big depending on breed. My Vietnamese girl is over 250 pounds. Fair warning. They’re escape artists. For her indoor set up, you might want to get her something to root in. Some people use like a box with rocks. So they don’t tear up any bedding trying to root. Everything else looks good.

No she is my first.

She will have supervised access to the house and a fenced in back yard as she gets bigger.
We have a great dane and a giant German Shepard so I'm assuming she'll be like one of them size wise.

Thanks I will put her rooting mat in box.

Rooting mat is now in heavy metal cage bottom so she can't destroy bedding.
The bottom of the cage is a washable puppy pad not a regular blanket.

Our pig is an epic escape artist - zips, bolts, doors, fences, weighed down or with extra barriers - he's done it all from when he was a wee piggy (well, wild boar actually). The thing I wish we had done earlier because of his escaping skills was got him used to a collar and a small bell (we live in a hunting area).

What feed have you gone for ?

and congrats !

She has proven to be an epic escape artist as well.
Going to have to put her in the crate tonight until her big cage gets here Monday.
Although on me is her favorite place to lay.

Lord she is a cutey !

At night, we had to put ours (his name is Pig) in one of those sturdy pet carriers that go in the hold of planes....he now lives outside in Pigtopia (which now looks like one great big swamp / trench).

Glad you could get the proper food - we couldnt and had to go the porridge route !
