What do pot belly pigs enjoy eating?

Question

My friend just got 2 pigs that she thought were going to be small, there about a hundred lbs., we built a pen with a mud hole and my naybiz a farmer and throws away loads of vegies but I noticed they don't care for brock, beets.....

Answer 1

Those pigs have been way over fed.  Pot bellies shouldn't weigh more than about 35 pounds.  Their bone structure is too fragile to carrry that much weight.  Take a look at their hocks, (front ankles) and if they cannot stand up with the legs straight they are being crippled by being over fed.  There is low calorie pig chow made for these guys and that is where you will have to go.  They won't like it because they are like all pigs and will just keep growing to match the amount of food they get.  The veggies are good for them but may need to be chopped and mixed together.  At any rate they need measured amounts for food or you will have to name them Ham and Bacon and plan on butchering in the fall.

Answer 2

I fed my pig just about anything she liked cracked corn. I actually trained her to sit for oatmeal creme pies. However I disagree with the last answer what they eat does not effect how they taste.

Answer 3

ok they also like some brands of hog feed but they also like scraps of food but NO meat .. they like stuff like old cerial that you have not eaten but NO CHOCLATE  ... they also like cabbage , almost all vedgies. and fruits and it sounds weird but pigs are not natrually dirty animals just having them n small pens make them messy so they also enjoy grasses and hay but the hay they will sleep in also... so basicly just NO MEATS AND NO CHOCLATE and then u are fine
