Question
Hi Patty
I just saw that you have to trim pigs hooves I didn't know that. Could you tell me why I have to do this and howi should o about doing this

thank yousk much

Answer
Hello,
Piglets only need their hoof trimmed when they are too long.
If you walk your piglet on cement or gravel everyday that will usually wear the hoofs off naturally.
You can also use a course emery board on them.
If you want to send me a picture of your piglet hoofs I will let you know if they need trimming.
You can send pictures to: patty012001@yahoo.com
Good luck with your piglet!
Patty
