Just over three weeks ago, my pig, Omelette gave birth to three beautiful baby girls. they immediately found new homes... So at 3 weeks (weaning time) I pulled them from her (Its also been very cold out, so better they be inside where warm than outside freezing!) So, three piglets inside my house, with my 6 dogs, 3 cats and 4 rats... I'm crazy, I know! That day they mostly stayed in the carrier that I brought them inside with... Yesterday, after 24 hours they were exploring the entire room we have them confined to... the room we are in the most as it gets them used to people more... I would lay on the floor and pet them, the two bigger girls (A heavily spotted and a black) would let me no problem, I Could rub their bellies, and they would fall over with enjoyment. The smaller of the three, a lightly marked, she was much more shy and timid... She is coming along slowly... The small dogs, Pavi, a Xoloitsquintli, and Reba, a Chinese Crested, come in the room and get the pigs use to having dogs around, the pigs really enjoy chasing the dogs, its quite cute. Our three cats also come in, they don't mind the pigs at all... which is great.
Now, while on the topic of my dogs and cats... One of our cats is a Sphynx, he is a hairless cat, about 6, maybe 7 years old now... we adopted him nearly 4 years ago, from someone who had to get rid of him for reasons unknown to us at the time... Those reasons, he won't use a litter box... As to this day, he still doesn't.... We believe he does it because he hates sharing the boxes with other cats... we have two others that WILL use a litter box. we have between 4-5 boxes set up for them... and he wont use them at all... Our small dogs will also, just randomly use the bathroom anywhere anytime... they don't ask to go outside, they won't whine or anything... just go... Yep, so that being said...
Today is day two <Tuesday> the pigs are inside... and all three using the litterbox as if they had always been using it... I can't be more proud of how amazing piglets are... I love them. They make me laugh all the time as well... Also, the lightly spotted has a multi colored eye, yes EYE, it is half brown half blue, while her other eye, brown... pigs are great. I don't suggest them as pets in cities, they do love to dig and pull up flooring. ha ha ha. But, if you have a nice country home, they are incredible.
