QuestionHello. I'm so glad to have found this site! I've just gotten a new 5 week old pot belly pig. I've never had one before and read a ton of information trying to be sure this was a good pet for us. However, she's here and she is so afraid of us. It seems now that she wasn't handled by the breeder, so I'm questioning if she will ever acclimate to us. I really, really want this to work out. Any advice would be helpful.
Answer The piglet should be with his mother until 8 weeks.
She is frightenedand unsocialized.
Please consider our book at valentinesperformingpigs.com.

Your pigs behabvuor is normal when coming too young and not handled previously.
Cheers,
Pris
