--Good basic care site.

--This is where I buy my pigs shampoo. I have also bought treatments for their skin problems from them.


Tips from me:

-Don't use pine bedding. It can cause respiratory problems and it can be bad for their feet.

-If your pig is losing weight, something is wrong. Check their teeth. GP's teeth can get too long and it makes it hard to impossible to eat.

-If you have kids around who are not familiar with how to treat a GP, keep an eye on them. Picking them up and dropping them is not a good thing.

-Don't look at just one website for info. Some sites contradict others. Look at several to make sure you are getting the right info.

-We bathe our pigs once a month.
