Question
My family and I are thinking about getting a dandie pig and are wondering about training to go to the bathroom, are they hard to clean up after? Will they make lots of noise?

Thank you = )

Answer
Hello Sydney,
Royal Dandie Piglets are all started in a litter box from the time they are born. After you bring them home you can continue to have them use the box or teach them to go outside and even use a doggy door.  They are extremely smart and learn very fast.  You will need to keep the litter box clean just like you would if you had a cat.
Piglets are not usually noisy unless they are scared or made to to something they don't want to do like take a bath when they aren't used to it.
With time and patients you can teach them to trust and accept most situations.
Take care a good luck with you Dandie piglet!
