yeah, I figured most people here do not have pot bellies. I have no idea how old these piggies are, but I have never seen a black pig with white and black hair so I just figures it was cause they are older lol. They were in awful shape when we took them in. I am glad they are thriving and not...

Hi! I have 3 PB pigs. 2 are black and they have white hairs. I was just curious if their hair goes white like people as they get older... anybody know? I rescued them so I have no idea how old they are. Thanks!

Thank you

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...

Will do! Thank you!

Hi! I don't but I am going to my local feed store in the morning to get a dewormer and anything I can find for her coat because it is dry. I was told she is old but I have no way to know for sure.

Hello ya'll! I am looking for advice on 2 of the 3 potbelly pigs we rescued. One is emaciated and the other is working his way there. How much should I feed them a day to get them back to a healthy weight? I have attached pics but they might not be the best. Thanks for your help.

That is what I was thinking too. If it were me, I would be happy someone cared enough about my animals to do something. If I could afford it would have tried to just buy them from him. But my goats and chickens is all I can do. I love farm animals. No animal should suffer at the hands of humans.

Another Update: I saw the owner of the cows loading them up in a trailer this afternoon. Some of them were still hanging around last I saw, but it looks like most are gone. I am assuming he is moving them. We will see. Hopefully if he is moving them it will be somewhere that he can keep an eye...

Me too!

UPDATE: I met with the Livestock Deputy about an hour ago. Thankfully the cows came by looking for more treats and I was able to keep them there until he got there... most of the cows and calves anyway. He agreed with us and said he would take care of it. I also made sure he knew there was 4...

Thank you. I appreciate the encouragement. I knew in my soul it was the right thing to do. I love animals, I am not vegan, but I do believe in caring for and loving everything God puts in your hands. Here is a pic of the acres they are trying to eat from. It just breaks my heart. I hope the...

I think its about 100 acres they are on but its dry. There are trees/bushes but no grass. Its a sad sight. Thankfully there is a tank that has some water in it and he does have a trough that is hooked up to a water line if needed. He doesn't come by here often. I would say maybe once a month or...

Thank you for responding. I have called the sheriff. Hopefully they will take action.
