Hey friends, I've never owned a pig before but I decided to raise one from a litter that my cousin found in the swamp on December 31st. I think it was no more than a day old based on the placenta next to the mother.

He's really friendly to everyone except dogs. My kids and wife love him and I've grown super attached myself, especially after dropper feeding him (I never thought he would make it). I castrated him about a month and a half ago and he still seems to like me.

I'm worried I may be over feeding him though and don't want to give him health issues if I can avoid it. Does he look too big for 3 months? Is there a general rule of thumb to go by as far as how much to feed them by age? Diet is currently acorns, corn, and 4 in 1 crushed feed.

I really appreciate any advice.

Winter is finally over!!

He was told he would be put outside if he kept messing up the carpets. He called my bluff. He's outside now.

5 little babies born today !!

Nothing like mid day brushings. His mowhawk went right up when I pulled out the brush!

Still can’t decide what’s cuter

I have a 2 week old piglet. Is vaccines necessary? If so what would you recommend?

I was doing some neck traction this morning and Bean decided to offer his support!

Our cat Gus knows not to get to close to Beans face, but decided to push it today. He's quick though.

I have been working on getting Dorothy in a harness so she can be on the farm with me more. Pretty cute! Then sleeping because she’s tired from being so cute.

Sorry if this is a dumb question. I live in a super tick-heavy area and I have been plucking them off my girls. My one pig has brown skin and coat and so it’s pretty much impossible to see ticks when checking her and she’s covered in a dirt dusting and whatnot. Is there anything they can use? I got a spray for them but was wondering if there’s anything more effective or practical. I’m hoping to get a few chickens later this season so maybe that’ll help too. Thanks!

We got Dorothy in October, and she moved from an outdoor pen into our house in December. I trained her (with not a single accident!) to use a bell on the door to tell us she had to go out, and made her a litter box in our garage which she used often without issue for three months. Now that’s it’s starting to get warmer here, I’ve transitioned her to going potty in the fenced in area just off the garage, accessible by a dog door she uses daily. She picked it up just as soon as she had taken to pottying outside in her litter box and using the bell.

Lately I’ve noticed she will stand by the door and not ring her bell, just waits to go out. This is when I feel if we don’t catch on that she’s standing there, she pees on the floor.

Sometimes I think she’s signifying she wants my attention/snacks/etc because she WILL ring the bell, and I’ll open the door and she will go in the other direction instead and not go out.

Any ideas for me? She’s a spayed two and a half year old Juliana. Very smart, and sweet, but also extremely shy/skittish. She was a farm pig originally and I assume not treated kindly as she fears men in general.

Thanks for reading such a long post!! Photo of my cute stinker-of-a girl!

He will literally stand there for 20 minutes until I give in!

Winnie and Wesley decided to take a dip in the pool. 😂
