Question
I want to buy a pig i would like a pink or black pot bellied pig but nice to kids
around 13 and to play with. Do you know where i could get one around Rialto or
Rancho cucamonga california?

Answer
Pigs are very intelligent, high maintenance pets. They don't "play" the way dogs do.

I urge you to consider adopting from a rescue or sanctuary. People often purchase piglets on a whim, then later realize they don't have the ability to provide proper care, or that it is illegal to own pet pigs where they live. The result is a pig in need of a home.

There's several pot-bellied pig groups and rescues in CA. Many often have babies available for adoption. They provide care and training information and can help you find a good vet.
