She’s super smart and gentle.
She loves to ham it up....
She’s a pretty fast runner....
She IS a pretty noisy eater.
As I said...she’s a bit of a ham....

There’s something wrong with your dog

If my daughter sees this, I’ll be fostering one too...

Such human eyes

I have 2 rescue pots.. one is too smart and "escapes" into the goat barn to eat their food &sleep in their stalls. Does yours try to escape?
bluishaxis23
Nah. She stays in her pen - we let her out to adventure. She does pretty well with that and doesn’t root when she’s out...

! My girl escapes to the goat side to root up their grass since she has flopped hers all up already. + she eats their food too hard 2 resist

I'm guessing both me and her are smelling a foster fail. She just looks at home.
bluishaxis23
She is VERY happy here. Have been able to pet her and she has great recall. Would love to keep her. We just might...

DO IT!

Love pot bellies. A male one taught me how to run very fast across a muddy field in wellies and vault a gate :)

We have a half pot belly/kune-kune who charges around the place. As quick as our retriever over short distances
Gaiashining
They are surprisingly speedy.

Did you get her home like this?
Or in a truck - squealin' and wheelin'!

I FUCKING LOVE PIGS AND I LOVE TATER TOT
doesntmatter
Disgusting. What a pig.
OneAngryDwarf905
And your pets thank you....especially the cat
mdzmdz
That's a smart bit of stockpiling
DeadlyMustang
I would build a fence to give Tater Tot a forever home. I've always wanted a pot belly and they look amazing!
DonnietheOwlGuy
I use to have a pig and yeah those little fattys have got some speed on them when they choose to run.
RaventsTrinity
Have you forked her yet? They love scratches with a fork.
bluishaxis23
At first I thought this was an awful typo. ? We have a brush on the end of a pole that she loves....
RaventsTrinity
I figured it would catch someone's attention.
pizzapartyhard
How big will she get?
bluishaxis23
Probably about 100 pounds.
ChorizoPig
My 12 y.o. potbelly is 124lb, which is pretty typical. About 19" tall.

Do pigs have to have their hooves (is that the right word?) trimmed like horses & llamas do?
xmaneds
*"trotter" is the word for 'pig hoof'
ChorizoPig
I walk mine on the sidewalk twice a day and it's almost enough to keep his hooves trimmed. I touch them up once or twice a year.
cre8majic
what do you use to cut the hoof?
ChorizoPig
There are several types of trimmers. I have a small set that look like high-grade pruning shears.
cre8majic
do you like those more than the kind that have like a sliding hole/pincher type?

Asking the question that would NEVER occur to me that I wanted the answer to.

Pot belly pig vet here, they also need their tusk trimmed. A
bluishaxis23
Yeah. They get mobility issues if they aren’t trimmed. Doesn’t have to be done very often....
CruisinforaSusan
Neat! Thanks
nightlysentinel
Aww, that second to last photo—what a look. Have you fostered pot bellies before?
bluishaxis23
First time but I don’t think it’ll be our last. We started fostering because the rescue near us shut down due to funding....
nightlysentinel
Hmm, care to elaborate on why the last? I’m asking because I was thinking about fostering but I worry because I don’t have exp with them.
bluishaxis23
I DON’T think it will be the last. I had a great time with her and would definitely recommend fostering. Just hard to let her go...
nightlysentinel
Whoops! Should have read that more carefully, sorry. Aww, I don’t blame you. That face.
bluishaxis23
I’ve bonded with her more than my dogs. She’s super smart. They have the intelligence of 4 year old children.
gummyyummybear
Our family pet looked exactly like her. Her name was Emily. So smart and the best guard animal. Very protective of us all.
bluishaxis23
She’s VERY smart and is a little protective. When we first got her she would allow ZERO attention / petting - she’s come a long way...
MissSpelledTattoo
Aww, that's sad. You're doing a good thing!
