Oh how I wished I would have found your channel Before I got my Oink. I would have been so much better prepared, BUT... luckily, I am old enough and at a point in my life where I CAN change my life for my pig, and that’s what I did. I even moved to a state that allows pigs as pets just to be safer. I can’t stress enough how important it is to spay and neuter your pigs A.S.A.P! Those hormones make them turn into crazy demonic lunatics,and if you don’t understand the hormones,it’s easy to see why many pigs are re homed. When we got Oink spayed we found out she had a very abnormal uterus and most likely would have developed cancer within a few months, and let me tell you what a difference spaying makes..... both Oink and her baby Piglet, went from crazy town to chill ville all because they were fixed. Anyways..... I love your enthusiasm for advocating for pigs. I told all of the people who took Oinks piglets to watch your videos and to follow you on social media to educate themselves on pigs. Sadly we have gotten the news that all of the boy piglets we had didn’t make it through the summer, except Piglet. And I think he made it because both him and his mom, Oink are mainly inside,so they aren’t exposed to the elements. Anyways.... enough of my rambling..... I was so happy to see the notification of a new video(eww I sound like a creeper). Keep it up my sista from another mista! One day there won’t be any pig shelters and all the pigs on earth will be happy and free! #pigsarefriendsnotfood

You are incredible! Love meeting other people who love their pigs this much. It's always the first question I ask when people talk about behavior issues with their pig, "are they fixed". It isn't a cure all, still require training, of course, but it is incredible what a difference it makes!

Hey there!! I have been following you for some time now, just wondering if there is anything I can do to help my two piggy sisters- the bigger one (Pua) constantly bullies her smaller sister (Lola) especially during eating and/or anything involving food like when I sprinkle treats in their rooting/enrichment blanket

[@AdamConstantine]

We have a 1year old pig. His hoofs have never been trimmed. We took him to the vet at 4 months and they said he didn’t need it and they only need it if they start curling. Not really sure what they meant by that. We were also told he only needed dewormer one time and not after that unless worms in his poo. Is this true? Do we need to get his hooves trimmed? Could his muscles and walking abilities already be compromised? He seems to be a very happy pig but just want to be sure we are being attentive to his needs and keeping up with all of his care. His skin seems to always be sort of flaky and we put swine conditioner on him 1-2 times a week. Should we use coconut cream or does it need to be a spray?

Hey, do you have any suggestions about keeping Penny Away from acorns? I have 3 huge oak trees with massive amounts of acorns. I know that pig farmers use acorns to fatten up their pigs. However, I was doing really well keeping her weight under control feeding natural like you do. Penny is completely obsessed with the acorns and it’s starting to show. I can’t wait for acorn season to be over! I hate to just keep her on her leash because I know she needs to root . Thanks, Mary

[@AdriRachelle]

Ahh, the acorn battle! The worst part is, they're mildly toxic in large quantities (loose stool, reddish urine). Definitely fattens them up in a hurry too! I'm constantly clearing the pig parts of the yard...and they still come inside looking fuller than when they left! I adjust their grains accordingly and do my best to get rid of them!

[@marywebb7490]

Thanks! I thought you might suggest that. I’ve already cut back a tad on her food specifically her grains. She has had times where she’s had reddish urine that freaked me out until I researched it. Luckily that hasn’t happened in a few weeks. I’m going to try to get my lawn guy to come over ASAP to rake up all the leaves and ask him to get up as many acorns as possible. I’ve also had started limiting her time outside until the yard has been raked. Right there are divots all through the leaves in the yard from her searching. Thanks!

Anything you could suggest? Also what about super dry skin?! I how much coconut oil is good for them?

[@AdriRachelle]

Her smart little brain at work! If she's still relatively new to you, she'll take some time exploring and not much will convince her otherwise. Sounds like you're on the right track with the toy options! Dry skin I use the coconut oil topically, and add a tiny bit of wheat germ oil to their food a couple times a week. I just purchased a pig skin conditioner that I'll update everyone on in a few weeks if it seems to work! They're so prone to it, and this time of year, with heaters running, it's even worse!

[@zanna2679]

some pig vets use another kind of gass that is safe for pigs you just need to find a vet that uses it

[@AdriRachelle]

Like MD said, if you have a knowledgeable vet, it's not any riskier for an adult pig than for an adult dog. They do need a specific kind of anesthesia and for it to be monitored correctly, so seek out someone who's experience and comfortable with it!

[@evelynbond990]

Hello and thank you for your awesome videos! I'm doing my research now, as we will not be getting a piggie until our dog (70 lbs) passes away. But it's never to early to educate yourself. We are fulltime RV'ers in a 45 ft. Class A. I really think that I could have a happy piggie in my home and I would do all of the recommended training that you show in your videos. I guess I'm wondering what your thoughts would be about this. Thank you in advance for providing your thoughts.

[@AdriRachelle]

I think if you don't mind the large dog in the space, a pig wouldn't be any different, and perhaps easier in some ways as it wouldn't require as much exercise or stops to potty. If you had a very secure enclosure for it to get outside when you were parked it would probably be a totally happy pig...just definitely need to start the leash training right away!

It's hard to give accurate advice on this, since pigs vary so much in size. What I like about mine is that I can order more panels for it as needed! However, it wouldn't be suitable for large adults as it's not strong enough to contain them.

what can you tell me about dental care!? ruby is 8 months old, and she grinds her teeth like crazy! ever since we got her at the age of 2 months, on and off sometimes more than others. ive read that they lose their teeth also but normally around a year. im nervous to look in her mouth because the one time i did she bit me. so the only time i am able to see in her mouth is when she yawns. do you brush their teeth!? are there treats to give to clean them? (they are very discolored, not sure if thats normal....)

[@AdriRachelle]

That grinding sound is like nails on a chalkboard! But, it's totally normal and generally stops as they age. It CAN mean they're either frustrated, or content (such mixed signals) or they're just bored, teething, and grinding away! The normal age is around a year, but again, the grinding doesn't necessarily mean she's teething now. You absolutely can brush their teeth! It's always best to start slow, and do it regularly until they're familiar with it.

Cozy bed and lots of toys and a treat ball she loves rolling around. She has been ripping up her potty pad and going potty on the tile instead of the potty pad. We have no idea why she’s doing this. She was doing so well. Do you have any advice?? Thank you!!

[@jordanleurck5788]

She also is not spayed yet.

I use a potty pad holder to lock the pad in place, which tends to stop this behavior. However, you can also try switching to the fake turf pads - which I've come to like even more. Better for the environment, pretty easy to clean, no potential for tearing up, and seems to work for even the most stubborn of pigs!

I just adopted a 7 month old miniature pig, should I just give her water or should I give her a mix of baby rice cereal and goat milk?? And should I just use a bowl or buy a water feeder? Ty

[@AdriRachelle]

She should be old enough for just water! Typically by around 3/4 months they've transitioned off the milk entirely. I can normally give them pig pellets and fresh foods at 7 months but if she's being picky about it you can mix some oatmeal, banana mash or pureed fruits/veggies in with the pellets for a bit!

Maybe you can help I have a mini pig and I have had him for a few weeks what is the best way to trim his Hooves

[@AdriRachelle]

I'll be doing a pig pedicure video soon! I do go over it briefly in my pig bath/pedicure video as well though!

I got a mini pig with the intention of him being an inside pig. He was potty trained inside very fast but he always seemed angry. I decided to build him a large pen outside with a covered insulated house . He gets free roam of my yard all day. He is a completely different pig now. He follows me outside wherever I go. He rubs up against me and squeaks . He’s pretty much like a dog. He even only goes to the bathroom in the same one corner . He does eat my rabbits poop though . Hard to keep him out of there.

Oh also feeding your pig pumpkins will deworm them . Mine loves eating pumpkin seeds

[@malialamaku6614]

Hi, is it ok or are you able to feed them fresh fruit? Thank you in advance

[@AdriRachelle]

Yes you can but you will want to limit how much you give them since fruit is loaded with fructose...the sugar found in fruits which will cause weight gain just like regular sugar

[@reyvicdgviesca28]

how do you keep your pig calm while you give them a bath? :)

[@frankie7873]

I’m just commenting so I am reminded if she replies 😁😅

[@AdriRachelle]

I have a video that talks about that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGKoqounfpKAlbs It's not going to be easy the first few times but it will get better the more you do it and the safer you make the pig feel. Hope the video helps

Hi we have 2 baby potbelly one is 14 weeks old this one is my daughter's the other is mine and she is about 8 weeks old . My question is why would they fight . they will be out together for a few minutes and then the next thing we know they are fighting . How can we stop this what should we do ? We would like them to get alone are do we have to always keep them separated. Thank you Millie

[@AdriRachelle]

It isn't uncommon for newly introduced pigs to argue over who is the boss. Typically I keep them in the same space but separated by a gate...they can "talk" and interact without being able to attack each other. A slow introduction that is supervised is best. The arguments at first are nearly unavoidable, and the key is just to make sure they don't escalate to where someone gets hurt (very rare in my experience, mostly it's all talk). Pigs are vocal creatures so yelling and growling and grunting is all pretty standard.

What if you just have one pig and its a female would you still recommended to get it spayed.

[@AdriRachelle]

Yes I would. A female pig can be very pushy and "a bit of a diva".

My mini pig ran away at about 7pm.. it’s now 12 he hasn’t came home he’s in the woods alone we looked till 10. We live in the country to so coyotes, snakes, and foxes are bad.. any tips how to get him out? I took his kennel favorite toy, blankets,food, and water. He slipped out of his harness while going potty and ran into the woods he got spooked by the dog from down the road..

[@AdriRachelle]

I sure hope he came back!

[@will_the_teddy]

Super dumb question but would it be ok or a good idea if I would feed a Juliana pig only fruit and veggies. We are a Vegan house so we are going to grow all our food so could I just do that?

[@AdriRachelle]

Not a dumb question at all! Pigs absolutely need sources of grain as their main diet, very minimal fruits are suggested, lots of veggies, and a regular source of protein...I like to give eggs a few times a week.

[@sofiatube4784]

Can you do a cage/enclosure tour pls

[@AdriRachelle]

What animal would you like to see a enclosure tour of? I have several planned in future videos.

[@kenadyandkelista9351]

I live in Ohio, a place called Huber heights has a man living with a mini pig. He badly abuses it. Doesn’t feed it, and leaves it outside in the cold snow. My family is bugging him to let us take the small little pig in. We hope we can try we have been giving he/she blankets and food. We want it to either be name button or angel

[@AdriRachelle]

I sure hope you were able to help the poor thing. If it is still alive and living with him call animal control. That is animal abuse and neglect and is illegal.

[@kenadyandkelista9351]

Adri Rachelle We tired and they couldn’t get him/her, the guy refused
