aww as we have pigs more as pets than food [thankgod] we will learn lots about them and realise they are amazing animals, i believe one dya they will become very very popular like dogs
@CrestMetro: Hi there. I stumbled upon your video and I thought it was incredibly interesting because I have a little pig of my own who looks identical to Franklin. He is 9 months old now and weighs in at 38 pounds. I'm just curious how much your little one weighs, seeing as he is a few months older than mine. Otis (my pig) loves to jump as well.
@ProudToBeVeggie he was too chunky to fit the one we bought him, like a fat baked potato... so we had to temporarily borrow one from my buddy who had a little yorkie...
What a shame people have to make moronic bacon comments whenever they see a cute pig. They wouldn't make eating dog comments....or would they??? (I don't discriminate -- I don't eat any animals at all :)
@blakmira I love animals too, but the reason people don't eat dogs is because we have worked closely with them for thousands of years. Dogs have human beings deeply ingrained into their genetic memory. They know us and understand us. Many cultures don't eat dogs for this reason. Other animals are great too. I love pigs. I will still eat them, though. Pigs don't have thousands of years of cultural history with us. They didn't help protect villages from invaders.
Where do you get misinformation like "dogs have us ingrained in their memory"?? How about wolf meat? You buy that in the grocery store? It's whatever animal the meat industries want to push.
You do know they just approved horses for meat, right? Are they now on your "hit list" too or are they "ingrained in our memory"? Look up the "carnism" website & stop making absurd excuses for eating animals you claim to "love."
@blakmira First off, it's not misinformation. It's scientific fact. Sorry, if you don't like that. Wolves and dogs are not the same. People eat meat because that is what our bodies need. Or maybe you think it's more natural to eat vegetables and then a whole lot of vitamin supplements. And if you think animals are more spiritual and enlightened, and that we have so much to learn from them, then why do they eat each other.....and each other's young......and their own young. Don't judge.
@blakmira You are dodging the subject. What i said is true. I understand that animals are not butchered fairly or properly, but it is also true that animals do things just as foul as humans, and to say that we have so much to learn from them, and that they are so spiritual (at least insinuating over us) would be a falacy)
@shakesula21 I've studied the exploitation of animals for 27 years, and believe me, there is no need for any of it. There isn't any market where they haven't been exploited, just to make a profit.
Animals are not here for us to use OR abuse. Please don't reply until you have educated yourself on CARNISM -- it is what you are doing when you continue to defend eating animals, even after realizing it's neither necessary for survival nor beneficial to anyone - ESPECIALLY the animals.
@blakmira I apologize for being rude and creating a youtube argument, unfairly. I just think that all animals including humans, get killed and eaten as part of nature. I may not approve of most common methods, but in theory, I do not think it is wrong. That is my opinion.
@shakesula21 You are not worth arguing with, because you have a biased point of view and are unable to accept any other information. That's okay. Maybe someday, everyone will stop eating meat, when they realize there is no need for it. Maybe the animals will stop eating each other and their young ALIVE, and humans if they have to. Those enlightened animals that we should be learning from. Let it go. You wanted to pick a fight. You can't win by spouting out "facts" that are entirely
@shakesula21 biased to your viewpoint. Very few people in this world would agree with you. And no intelligent ones. Humans eat meat because we are omnivores. If you want to argue that fact, I'll be happy to bury you in substantiated information that can be cross referenced by as many sources as you want. STOP TALKING.
Wat?! That piglet is huge for 8 weeks. Not fat huge. I mean this doesn't look like a "mini" breed at all, and you're going to have a lot of boar to deal with when "son" grows up. Hope you didn't get ripped off by a stealer.
@denasewell they are pretty agile creatures, more than most people give them credit for. maybe wait a month or so if you're nervous & make sure they are landing on a carpet or a rug. they have a tough enough time walking on hardwood let alone landing on it. yes, he eats stuff off the sidewalk/floor, keep a keen eye, they like gum, rubberbands, etc. i've learned how to safely put my hands deep in his mouth but they REALLY hate it. have you thought about dog/puppy training? we did it!
I have a 4 month old potbelly I rescued ...i worry that he will get hurt jumping off my bed ???I have only had him a month and know little about pigs other than online research ..do you think it is safe for him to jump ?
so cutee!!!! he is adorable!!! i also have a pig and am trying to find out if he is normal/healthy. how much does franklin weigh and how old?? when did he stop growing? also what breeder is he from because after buying mine i have heard bad reviews on the breeder. thanks!
how do you know that he's maxed out, being that he's only a year old? From all that I've read and all the people I've talked to, they don't stop growing till about three or five years old. I swear I'm not trolling. I'm actually trying to find a strain of mini pigs that actually get to the size they are supposed to. I'm being super careful because I can't handle a 150 pound "mini" pig, because someone lied to me about its genetics.
@FiestyCat86 Some stay small, my pig is 2 years old and she is 17 lbs. We just love her!! Trust me I was way scared she would be a 500 pound babe but we have a farm on 25 acres just in case that happens.
aww, so cute! I am piggy mama to Moose. He is about 11lbs and 17 1/2 weeks old. Im thinking that he is the same kind of pig that yours is because they look similar. The snout is the same and I am tols that thats how you can tell one kind from another. :)
He is cute! I have a boy Sonic and girl Lucy. I'm pretty sure Franklin has some more growing to do, they grow for 3yrs!! Sonic is 63lbs at a year and a half, but still adorable :)
@Pigandthecity, franklin is great... he's maxed out in size and weight at about 20 inches from snout to tail & 26lbs... i know franklin would LOVE to meet finn!
@gretschjazzer- are you serious? bc this is a regular occurrence... and now at 4 months, he does it with even more ease and grace. my bed is even higher, about 2 1/2 ft. high...
