Hi Ladies! My son's girlfriend bought a pot bellied piglet last week. They intend to keep it inside and are litter training her. I need to know, just how much do you feed a piglet? If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. Any advice on this subject is very welcome! Thanks! AngelaJoy

When I had mine I was told to feed it like you would a puppy, twice a day...pigs will constantly eat, thats how they are made so to keep them from gtting overly fat as pets you feed them high quality puppy chow & vegs/fruits. A good training tool is grapes...they adore grapes & you can train them using these as treats. Never feed them meats unless you want a agressive pig, nor give them rawhide bones. Always have plenty of water as they will go thur alot of water a day. Do not move the litter box as they will find one place they like to potty & if the box is moved they will still go in the area where it was. They need a nice soft doggie bed as they have joints that get sore as they age....Michele'
