ooh they are so cute.

how can i take care of a pig in my house?

what are the special cares different from a dog for example?

@Corolido They are very clean animals and they can be house-trained like dogs. You just need a large litter tray.

But if you want to take them for walks along a public footpath, you need a licence, because of foot and mouth and other regulations. They make lovely pets and love lots of attention. They love any waste vegetables and bread.

@swanseacommunityfarm Kunes have a steady temperament, and are extremely easy to handle and they are very gentle. In the United Kingdom there ar regulations on keeping pig, you may need planning permission, check with your local council. If you have close neighbours it is much better to talk to them before you get a pig than to fall out with them afterwards. You will also need to register with your local branch of DEFRA, who will give you a holding number.

@Corolido The size of the sty you need depends on the pig, so the smaller the better.
