Question
I have a 6 month old Potbelly Pig she's been acting very strange lately. She has persistently been chasing people around the house to nudge at our legs then after nudging a few times at our legs she wants to jump up on our legs. She seems to be getting very aggressive. I have yet to spayed her could this have anything to do with it?

Answer
Is your piggy spayed? This is typical behavior of a pig in heat. Your pig is just about the age for her first heat. Pigs in heat may also forget their potty training.

The best thing to do is get your piggy spayed. There's a list of vets that see pot-bellied pigs at www.farec.org If there are none near you, contact the closest vet for referrals or contact farec.org
