I hear pigs make good pets.

Any truth to this?

When they create a pig with soft paws, call me. Until then I'll stick to carnivorans.

Smart doesn't make it a good pet. But I would liken it to owning a very large bulldog, without the sitting on your lap part. There is drooling, food is messy, there is a lot of random grunting and snoring and squalling. They still have to be trained and can be aggressive and bitey, especially as piglets.

Instead of a crates I've seen people make little indoor "stalls" for them with a bed, blankets, and a water pail. A sleepy pig crawling out from under a blanket in the morning is damn cute.

this anon is pretty close to the truth. my neighbor had a pig as a pet a few years back and every time i passed by it basically played the part of your typical dog. the biggest issue you would have to deal with are how the pig responds to stimuli.

a dog that growls is labeled as a mean dog. a pig that has tusks of steel and snorts is a 'menace to society'. training would be paramount, so temperament would be the deciding factor in which you choose your piglet for.

ps: from what ive heard, der cute and worthwhile pets :D

You have to give them a blanket. They will haul it around everywhere, and roll up in it. They don't get fleas because their hide is so thick, and they love being petted, ours leans into your hand when you scratch her. They make awesome grunting noises, too. As a bonus, they don't kill mice in the yard, hide them, and then dig them up when they're nice and rotten and roll around on them, and then run up to you and rub all over your legs.
Also they look awesome because they have flesh tearing tusks.
