PIGS!!!!

Question
how would you ring a pig's nose?

Answer
A pet pig's nose should never have a ring in it to prevent rooting or natural foraging.
It is considered inhumane by many because it hurts the pig to try and do what his instincts tell him to do.....
Also the rings can tear the pigs nose or be painful.
Giving the pig other "rooting" activities that are not destructive to the lawn or carpet is an alternative.
We describe how to make a  playful "rooting box" out of river rocks and birdseed  in our book at Amazon.com "Potbellied Pig Behavior and Training".
We realize this can be a problem with pet pigs and suggest a variety of alternatives in the book to enrich a bored pig's life.
Bored pigs root, and we have many ideas to "entertain" these intelligent, curious critters!!
It DOES work, our own lawn is in great shape.
Good luck,
