behavior on Ben-G

Question
QUESTION: Hi, I have a Miniature Potbellied Pig named Ben-G, who's turning 6 months today. first i wanted to make sure she is getting enough to eat and the right nutrition. she has been eating 1/3 of a cup twice a day of an off-brand of potbelly pig feed that i buy from my local feed store. along with some fruits and veggies. Should i be giving her vitamins or do you recommend any that she can be taking? but my main concern was her behavior.she has been very good, loving and playful. recently within the past couple days she has been quite mean to me. i know she is a daddy's girl but for some reason she wont leave me alone. its like she's connected to my hip, which isn't a bad thing but then she oinks at me and occasionally barks and she roots at my legs and i can push her off and say no but she wont listen and also when doing this she in nipping at my calves. what do i do? is it me or her? thanks-Leticia

Answer
Hello,
I would definitely get her spayed.  Unspayed females can have behavior problems.  They will come into heat every 21 days.  I would get it done as soon as possible.
Hope this helps.
Also....you might want to try Infinity Plus pig chow.  They also have a wonderful Vit/Min supplement for Miniature pet pigs.
