A pot bellied pig can live to be 20 years old, or even more! Many owners find taking care of them overwhelming. Would you be willing to care for one, with all of that entails?
Oh, yes!  I think it would really be worth it.  They can be very intelligent and sweet pets.
That is true! They are considered very intelligent. However, that can be one of the difficulties--they need to be trained with regards to understanding rules and boundaries, just as dogs would. I think that people with bad experiences with them may be so because of poorly training them.
No doubt about that.  It will really take some serious time to train little Wilbur.  I'm willing.  The reward will be a smart, cuddly companion.
They're often called very sweet and cuddly! If you take the time to train them, you can have a long friendship with Wilbur. Do ensure that you take him to get vaccinated, as he may need a variety of shots to bolster his health. Though, depending on the area you live in, these risks may not hold for you!
I have actually talked with a breeder near me.  She has given me a lot of good advice.  She mentioned some necessary vaccines.  I'm saving my money.  She's having a litter soon!
That's wonderful! They truly are amazing creatures. While people might think of the connotation of pigs as farm-animals, I think they'd be surprised to find out that pot bellied pigs are very clean! They don't have a smell, sweat through their noses, and can even be trained to use a litter box. What remarkable creatures.
I agree!  I know there is great potential for a loving family member.  I have always been such an animal lover. This pig will have its own room and a pile of warm blankets.  I hear they love snuggling in blankets.
That's wonderful! For a piglet, there's a minimum space advisory of 3 square feet per piglet. As their weight increases, it should be at least 4 square feet. For adults, 6-8 square feet per pig. If there's hot weather, there should be more room available. A room all to his own should give Wilbur plenty of space to be comfortable and feel safe!
You know a lot about pot bellied pigs!  You should help me get his room set up.  I think it would be fun to team up on this adventure.  You may end up wanted one of the little piglets yourself.
