Potty training can be hard depending how you plan on training them. The easiest way described by many, is a litter box by a door. Every time your pig relieves themselves in your house, take the waste and place it in their litter box. The pig will soon notice the smell of their waste and start going in their litter box. Every time they relieve themselves in the litter box give them a treat like cereal, apples, or dog treats. Once there are no more accidents outside the litter box, you can push them outside the door when they go to the litter box to relieve themselves.

KuneKune pot bellies need lots of attention and love. It’s sometimes better to have two pigs instead of just one, mostly because if they don’t have any interaction with you or any other animals they become depressed and lonely. If you go to work or go to school and are gone from 5-6 hours a day they diffidently need a friend even if it’s a dog. Obviously to this conclusion if you are able to give them enough required attention then you will not need two pot bellies.

Personality wise pigs are hilarious. Pigs are very smart and can learn names and commands just as dogs do. They do sometimes root, which is when a pig uses its nose to dig up food or cool themselves down by laying in the mud pit they make often. To prevent this, you can set up a bowling ball and the pigs will root against it. Some pigs have two small, long pieces of skin that dangles down from their face under their chin. These are called waddes, they’re an inherited gene that comes from wild hogs, this is not a defect or disease it is typical for some pigs to have them (picture of waddles on page 2). Anyway, pigs are just overall full of bouncing love and amazing, sweet, animals.
