Answer 1

NO, my god mother did though, and hse still does, she loves him. :] She says he's like a dog, but he's bigger.

Answer 2

I did for a long time! I loved Wonky lol but he sadly passed away at age 14. I would suggest doing a lot of research before getting one. They are extremely smart. Here are a few websites with info.

I haven't, but one of my friends have! She was orginally suppose to be an out-doors animal but instead she became a house pet, like a dog or cat.

My friend had this extra room (since then her mom has had a baby and now that's the babies room and the pig lives in my friends room) and that was the pig's room.

As a piglet, the pig had a dog house that was padded with that yellow foam with the raised bumps? And a blanket, just a cheap one that was a solid color to keep warm. She lived there till she out grew it and then they just bought her a dog bed and she would even eat dog food, whether that's safe for their diet or not.

The piggy did like to run herself and her nose into the walls and scratched the paint pretty good in her little room, they just put that foamy stuff on the wall where she couldn't do that anymore.

The pigs do like to play, and are extremely smart! Hope that's some help.
