Living environment:
Pet pigs need to live in a quiet and dry environment, with a temperature of 18-29 degrees Celsius. You can let them live in the study, living room, or balcony. Pet pigs are afraid of cold. Remember to make a warm nest for them when winter comes, with some blankets or quilts, so as not to catch a cold or have diarrhea.
Diet:
For pigs that are 0-4 weeks old, you can feed them whole milk powder. Mix about 2-3 tablespoons of milk powder with 100cc of milk for each meal. You can also add 1 teaspoon of cream or 1 raw egg yolk to increase nutrition. Many people who sell pigs say that piglets should not drink human milk because its nutritional composition is different from pig's milk. However, many pig owners feed their pigs with milk and have not found any adverse reactions, so you can let your pet pig use it with confidence.
After 4 weeks, you can feed the piglets dry whole milk powder. Feed about 2 tablespoons of milk powder per meal and reduce the amount of liquid milk fed. This action is called "teaching the gut" and aims to train the digestive ability of the stomach and intestines for solid food.
After 6 weeks, you can feed the piglets a small amount of solid food soaked in water, and also start trying fruits, vegetables, and other foods. When feeding new food to piglets, they may have nutritional diarrhea. Once the owner finds that the piglet's feces are incomplete in shape and watery, please seek medical attention as soon as possible.
Piglets can eat solid food completely after one month because pigs are omnivorous animals. Therefore, the food should include vegetables, fruits, and animal proteins such as chicken, beef, and cucumbers to ensure balanced nutrition and healthy growth of the piglets.
