What do you say about having an Pig as you pet from today? Don’t be surprised by this idea!! Having a pig or pot bellied pig is a one of the most preferred animal to be bred as pets. These pigs are very adorable, cute looking and very decent in behavior. Not to be forgotten the pigs are readily available as trained pets too. Before we buy any pet it is important to understand the behavioral and physiological details of the pigs.

These animals generally live up to an age of 10 to 15 years. They weight ranges from 25 kg to 130 kg. They are found to live a healthy life and under clean and hygienic conditions. They are found to be well behaved and also adapt to human family life very easily. The pot belly pigs are extremely found of food and hence frequent feeding of food is expected.
A few quick tips for taking are of the pigs are noted below:

* The pigs must be well fed. They are omnivorous in nature i.e. they eat fruits, grains leaves and meat.
* They need to be given a good amount of exercises else they can easily gain weight. A simple walking around would make a pretty good exercise for them.
* They are known to go well with other pets well. Care has to be taken when left with dogs as the later can prey on the pigs.
* The pigs are known to take dominance over those whom they feel are weaker compared to them. Hence while leaving kids with the pigs they must be monitored well
