So pig owners please help and how much are pigs and are they hard to care for and ect. so help me please and serious answers only

Answer 1

pigs are actually good pets.... yes i had one when i was 14. I live on the coast as well and the only problem is having people from lucedale(if you know where that is) come to jackson county and want to buy them for food. they are easy to care for just feed and if you keep it inside (which i suggest you don't) take it out to pee and p**p just like a dog. You can get one at the mobile flea market don't know how much they cost though.

Answer 2

They SMELL...really bad. That is the biggest problem. Some pigs are nice...pot belly pigs, smaller pigs make better pets. Big pigs can be a pain in the neck...but as I said they really stink. How about a pug instead?
