I have two. Rupert and Reggie. They are SOOO CUTE!
They make these sweet little squeaking noises and they smell so good. And are so warm and cuddly. They live about 5-6 years - which is too short, but keeping pigs is one of the best pet decisions I have ever made.
Be sure they get plenty of Vitamin C and timothy hay. They also need lots of fresh veggies like carrots, green peppers, parsley. They also love granny smith apples.
The best bedding for them is just newspaper topped with a generous handful of this stuff called Carefresh.
Don't get me wrong, rabbits are nice too, but I love my pigs so much.
