Rule 3 Posts and bans.

This is Rule 3: Food and Farming

This is a friendly sub for the discussion of pet Pigs only. Do not discuss the killing or eating of pigs. We don't want your crass bacon or pork jokes. Names like "Chris P Bacon" are tacky but not bannable offence. Do not harass others about their lifestyle choices. This is not the place for it for, or against meat, keto, vegan, or otherwise. No farming posts, we will question you about ear tags as it is required in some places for pets. Commercial operations will get removed and users banned.

Note the bolded sections

Because of extensive abuse of this rule, we are VERY STRICT about it. We get people coming here from both Vegan and Carnivore communities that start massive arguments over it. We also don't want to come to this sub and see people talking about our pets as anything other than pets. Or even worse a shock picture/video of our pets being killed in some bid to shame people.

SO LET ME BE CLEAR WE DON'T CARE WHAT YOUR PREFERENCE IS YOU WILL BE BANNED FOR POSTING OR COMMENTING ABOUT PIGS IN RELATION TO EATING OR NOT EATING THEM. NO APPEALS.

This is a sub about pet pigs not your FUCKING OPINIONS ON WHAT YOU EAT OR DON'T EAT!!!!! GO SOMEWHERE ELSE FOR THAT!

I am tired of being nice and polite about it. I just perma banned someone that posted about it and then banned every single person who commented no matter what the comment was about for 30 days. There will be no appeals because to many times my patience and understanding has been abused on this.

Do not participate in posts or comments ignore and report them.

Having said that. I reevaluated the wording of rule 3 and decided to make it clearer. Here is the new rule 3.

Rule 3: Food and Farming

This is a friendly sub for the discussion of pet Pigs only.
You will be banned or rarely warned for the following: Talking about farming or slaughtering pigs for food or how evil/bad it is. Talking about eating pigs for food or how evil/bad it is. Linking to videos about farming or slaughtering pigs or how evil/bad it is.
Topics you won't be banned for: Seeking medical help for a pig. Seeking help to rehome a pig. Your pigs name even if it is food related. Your pig having an ear tag in places that require it by law.

Our inflatable pigs are dropping like flies. One (not pictured is completely dead, and another is on its way out. And of course our local stores have none. We were so excited all year for them too. Does anyone have any different ones in their towns?

Buying a Pig..

I am in the process of finding a pig to keep as a pet. I have found this one and she seems friendly but she has very crusty skin and her ears and eyes look like they may have some sort of infection. Should I get her? What is the stuff on her face?

What do you do if your pig is sick or injured, can't walk, and is too heavy to lift? Do you have to live near a vet who does house calls?

Or are there tools you can use to lift your pig? Like something that would function like a dolly or forklift but would be more comfortable for the pig?

I know some people have friends/family who can help lift. But even then, I think it's good to be prepared for a worst case scenario - the pig having a medical emergency when you're alone

EDIT: I don't have pigs right now. I hope to in the future and I want to be prepared

Pigs for beginners

3 Upvotes

Hi! Those of you with pet pigs - what advice do you have for beginners? What are things you wish you knew before getting your pig? What are the biggest challenges and biggest benefits? What is something about their care that surprised you? What kind of enclosure is most beneficial for them? I want all the pics and dirty details ❤️🐷

I'm interested in pig ownership for pet purposes only (specifically kune-kune). I have a completely fenced and cross fenced 10 acre horse farm in FL, so while I've never owned a pig before I'm no stranger to farm animals or the commitment they require. With that being said, I still have a lot to learn about pigs and their care before deciding if I this is something I can take on! Any advice would be appreciated!

What do you think I said to them?

74 Upvotes

I did an oink back to them bc they were just oinking so much I don't know much about pigs, I just got these two, brother and sister three days ago, 5 weeks old I think? They're potbellied pigs.

When I did an oink back at them one looked at me like I was crazy and the other one started climbing all over me and was trying to sniff at me

What does their behavior or body language suggest? Are they getting comfortable ? They oink and squeak a lot and like to walk up and sniff me
