Most people ask the same top questions so I thought I'd share what I know so far:
How BIG will he get?
- 25-30 lbs. (about the size of a beagle or english bulldog) ONLY if you don't overfeed them. Pigs must be fed correctly. Never leave food out because they don't have anything that tells them to stop eating they're full. They will eat and eat even when they really don't need it.
What do you feed him?
- Mini pig pellets (no table scraps) Mazuri brand for mini pigs
- Cheerios for a treat or snack
NOTE: See my feeding video to learn more
Where does he go to the bathroom at?
-I have taught him to go outside to the bathroom. It took me about 1-2 weeks to get him fully trained but now he goes outside. He was a lot easier than a dog to train and we only had about 3-4 accidents inside. He has a designated spot he goes to and that makes it so nice. No one stepping in poop, lol.
- Yes, you can train them to use a litter box or puppy pad, too. I just didn't want to clean up the mess.
Does he sleep through the night?
- Since day 1 that I got him, he has slept through the night. No issues at all. He goes to bed and sleeps until the morning.
- He loves having a blanket and to be covered up (head to toe). Make sure it's not cold where he sleeps, they love to be warm. I have a blanket in his house and I also cover up his crate at night. He seems to like that better and the light from outside in the morning doesn't wake him up so early.
