hi, I’m getting a potbelly pig on April 18th. She is almost 4 weeks old and is defiantly the smallest in the litter which makes me think she will get no bigger than 80 pounds full grown.
I’m wondering what is the recommended food for pigs, the local farm store has mazuri mini pig chow $40.00 for a 25lbs bag which I find pretty cheap compared to our dogs food. Should I keep my pig indoors or outdoors, we have a 71/2 acre lot that is far from the road and an 8x12 chicken barn that has a 6x4 room that it could go in or we have a spot in our house for her so she won’t need to do any stairs. If she stayed in the house we would build a pen out doors for her to go outside during the day to root around and bask in the sun and we would also build her a small pallet shelter to put inside of the pen. Would she be better off with another pig because there is a litter mate that we are considering getting also that is a male and he will get casterated, I just heard that they get bored easily and get into trouble. She would be alone 6 hours a day for 5 days a week because I go to school. I have a six year old dog herding dog and I’m wondering if they will get along. I’m also considering breeding her so if all piglets are not sold what can I do with them? What is the best type of harness for a pig?
