The housing requirement of your pet pig will depend on how many you have. However, the general rule of thumb is 36 square metres per pig. If you can provide even more space, that’s even better. Pigs are not to be underestimated in terms of physical strength. That said; you will need to ensure that the fencing you use is reinforced so that they are unable to escape.
Their housing should be draft-free; temperature should be relatively constant; and they should not be exposed to sunlight for a prolonged period of time. Thermoregulation is one weakness of pigs and they will need assistance in the warmer and cooler months. In the summer, provide your pigs with a container filled with cool and clean water. Ensure that they have somewhere to seek shelter as well. On the other hand, they will need straw as bedding material in the winter. More on this from Cedar Park Animal Hospital, click here.
