    Pot bellied pig and ticks

    :lol: I have 70 birds (chickens, ducks, geese and even 9 guineas) that free-range the backyard. They do a pretty good job of getting the ticks from there. The problem was he has been getting out from under the fence. We are currently installing electric fencing to hopefully prevent this...

    Pot bellied pig and ticks

    I don't think they would fit or stay on. Plus he would probably get in snagged on something in the yard.

    Pot bellied pig and ticks

    Our Pot bellied Pig Patrick has been getting out of the yard and going into the woods (we are taking care of that). He had 10 ticks on him today. I've read PBP can get Lymes disease. Is there something that we can give him to prevent the ticks from getting on him?

I'm so...

    what tips would you give new piglet parents

    Though the piggies will always be hungry they don't need as much as you might think. They are started off with 1/4 cup of mini pig food twice a day per piggie. Definitely handle them a lot if you want them to be tame. If you plan on harnessing them, it 's best to start young. They don't like...

    Worth of a 1 year old PBP?

    Thanks Emily. I think we will be putting something like this. Like I said it's just a number, not really selling, so just needed an idea of what he could be sold for if we were to sell him.

    Worth of a 1 year old PBP?

    Thanks. He is trained, not grumpy. Very well behaved overall. Not so good a leash though. He is about to do his 3rd Kiss the Pig event (don't think this really counts, but is kind of a cute fact) I realize this is difficult to assess as he is not a meat pig, but a pet. and 1 that will not be...

    Worth of a 1 year old PBP?

    Thanks. I guess we are looking for worth as a pet. I guess I'll just have to keep looking. I did look to see what it might cost if someone was adopting. Looks like some charge the cost of neuter/spaying. Since he was neutered maybe I should go with the cost of that? :hu

    Worth of a 1 year old PBP?

    For a 4-H project book my son has to document what his 1 year old barrow PBP would be worth. I have no clue. Any input would be great. I tried looking at classifieds to get an idea what they would sell for, but no luck so far. Mostly piglets or farm pigs is what I'm coming up with. Thanks in...

    feeding pigs acorns/oak leaves okay?

    I don't know if PBP and farm pigs are the same as far as acorns go, but our PBP's pee was really red and we realized it was from eating acorns. He hasn't had any problems except that it turned his pee red.
