∙ 13y agoOnly if you're a farmer who plans on killing it for bacon. Have you ever seen a potbelly pig? They're HUGE. And ugly. So fat that they can't really move. I've even heard that some can be aggressive (when they're not too fat to move). So no. Potbelly pigs do not make good pets. Even teacup pigs don't make good pets, because they get to be the size of a cocker spaniel (30-60 lbs)

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.
