Pigs As Pets - Vital Tips Before You Start Raising Pigs

So you want to buy pet pigs. Before you buy pigs
as pets, answer this question: is the pet you
are buying solely for companionship purposes
only, or do you want to become a breeder? If you
are opting to earn money by breeding the pigs,
the normal size of pigs is good for you. The
answer is important in the arrangements to be
made for the pig and for the kind of pig that
you will buy. Do not buy miniature pets if you
are going to try to sell them for their meat
because they will not be worth that much
compared to their meatier counterparts.

Having a small piggery business takes a lot of
time and attention that if you are not ready for
this kind of work do not buy more than two.
Maintaining a pig pen is more tedious than it
sounds, and taking care of breeding pigs as pets
is challenging in comparison to other pets. There
are many issues with pigs that make them
unsuitable to be a good choice for pets.

There are successful owners of pigs as pets, but
before they have attained the capacity to take
care of their pets, they have failed several
times. Only those who really have a passion for
pet pigs will continue to take care of these
unruly creatures who love dirt. Others have
merely been irritated by the behaviors of the
pigs that they have sold their pet altogether
and considered other pets. There are many
stories about trying to take care of pigs as
pets that are more on the negative than
positive.

Indeed, owning a pet pig may be cute and unique,
but after you have shown your friends how cute
your pet is, you have to make sure that it is on
its best behavior otherwise you will be
humiliated. Pigs cannot be trained to behave
when they do not want to, but you can try in
vain. The least you can do is clean up after
them, which is to be anticipated all the time.

If you are not interested in owning more than
one pig, go for the miniature. This kind is for
aesthetic purposes only and will need to be
taken care of on its own. There are no special
dates to remember such as breeding date and
gestation period when you are learning on the
steps in raising pigs. Your main concern is that
they eat on time and remain clean. The
environment should also be maintained more
rigorously than that of breeding pigs.
