I've got to get my dad on board. Lol. He gives in when she starts screaming. And me on the other hand....I wait her out and refuse to feed her when she screaming at me when I know she's not hungry. They are kind of like toddlers!! Lmao

Omgosh! I never thought about that! What age do they tend to go into heat?

Another questions IS how much do you feed a 200 pound pig a day? And here she is with my seven year old. She is defiantly not over weight.

Holy moly! I'm glad to hear your guys pigs do the screaming too! Mysunwolf thank you for your info! We have just never I guess have had a pig who screams like this. But she screams even if it's not feeding time. Or when we let her roam around with us she tries to break down the garage man door...

Long story. Will try to make it short. Lol. We rescued a piglet who is now about 8 months old. When we got her she was malnourished, underweight, and half dead. We let her live in our garage under a heat lamp, fed her food we Vitamixed for her, gave her antibiotics for her respiratory infection...

We will be taking her to the vet as suggested by a few people.

Thank you for your information. We do not have a livestock vet in the area. However we will be calling our regular vet to see what he suggest or prescribed. We knew when we took her she would be a bit of a challenge. And we do understand that she will end up costing us some money. Thanks for all...

We received our (what we were told was a 3 month old) runt about 4 days ago. We were given her to us for free when we bought two other pigs from a pig farmer. What the guy said was "you guys want this runt? The mom just didn't have enough milk so she got pushed out and she never grew" so mind...
