I was thinking about it and I bet they'd eat table scraps and garden stuff... then the chickens would lose out on all the goodies from our leftovers, tho'. I bet one restaurant saving their scraps would be enough to feed a little one. I'm going to do some reading... wonder if they need a heated place to live in our kind of winters? ANd where you find those miniatures. SOOOOO cute.. I've always loved pigs!
Jack lived with a pot-bellied pig and said she was so smart. They liken them to a 4 or 5 year old child.. smarter by far than dogs! And her tummy would drag on the ground during acorn season.. hahahaha
Thanks for posting that. It gave me my laugh of the day :)
Butting into your conversation about pigs, apparently I used to have a pet pig when I was one year old. I don't remember this, though.
A friend of my two eldest sons had a pet pig but he grew up into a boar...and I don't think he is pretty :) Although quite tame, you have to be careful, because he can charge, apparently :) As far as I know he is still alive :) He is not as big as an ordinary boar, but not tiny, either. He is much bigger than I thought a miniature pig would grow. He is black, by the way, and has a ridgeback and tusks :)
