Hello!
I recently rescued 3 pot belly pigs. There hooves are not that bad but do need trimmed. I am only used to trimming goats. My question is, do pigs quick grow like a dogs does or is it always the same no matter how long the hoof gets? 2 of the pigs have black hooves which makes it hard to know where the quick is. Thanks!

My only pigs are feeder/freezer fill. But you do need to trim yours. Put this in Google search and you'll get info plus video. 🥰 good luck...
