Pot Belly Pigs - Essentials for Breed FanciersIt is a well-known fact that some people are so devoted to their Pot Belly Pigs that often sleep with them and can easily tell the pet's mood or a health state by the look or a breath of the animal. This affection between humans and pigs can be easily understood if one takes a closer look at the creature. It should be said that swine are the third intelligent animals after apes and dolphins. They appear to be highly trainable and amusing. Generally, owning a Pot Belly Pig can be rather rewarding.
Pot Belly Pigs - Pros and ConsTo start with, let us mention the size of an adult Pot Belly Pig. Some species may reach the weight of 150 pounds. Usually, the breed lives to be about 10-15 years old. It is not prone to major illnesses, yet should receive yearly vaccinations. Spaying/neutering is also recommended when females are about three months old, and males as soon as testicles appear. This will save owners much trouble and solve the problem of odor in males.Though intelligent and highly trainable, Potbellied Pigs may be destructive when left alone for too long. They are easily bored and need regular physical and mental stimulation. Rooting up carpeting, eating drywall, pushing wastebaskets, etc. are often reported. This is their inborn instinct to root and you can do nothing about it. Putting the nose in a ring is cruel and should never be practiced. Though Pot Belly Pigs are odorless except unaltered males, they do become dirty from time to time due to the habit of lying in "nesting" places and swimming in the pools. Restricting access to pools is not recommended since Pot Belly Pigs do not have sweating glands and must cool themselves in hot weather.
