to be quite honest...any animal can be wild! but what you really have to look at if getting a pig, is their temperments! if the parent are on site.......then it wouldn't be a bad idea to look at them! if they are shy and mean, then dont take the babies because they could turn out the way their parents did by genetically getting their genes! (if all yall know what genes are;) look for unshyness in the pig and one that doesnt bite or show meaness! but ....the question was are they wild! and truthfully , it depends on the parents like i meantioned before. anther thing you can think about is were they ever touched when they were at the sellers place?maybe they had never been handled and have noo idea what it is like to be held before! experience helps! i raise miniature pot bellied pigs! and i also buy and sell them! if buying just remember to really look into the info before getting one! thanxxx for reading :)

What is a potbellied pigs diet?

Potbellied pigs will generally eat anything. The danger in this is that they can become obese and unhealthy. A potbellied pigs diet should mainly consist of foods high in fiber. There are feeds made especially for potbellied pigs that will contain the amount of fiber needed. Some brands are Heartland and and Peak Performance. The amount of feed depends on the weight of the potbellied pig. The general rule is about 1/2 cup of maintenance food per 25 pounds of the pigs weight. This total amount should then be divided into two feedings a day. Potbellied pigs can also be fed vegetables to expand diet options for the pig. Fruit can also be fed to the pig but in small amounts because of the higher amount of natural sugars. Another very important part of a pigs diet is water. Water should always be available for the potbellied pig to drink.


Average weight of a pot bellied pig?
