Pigs have bristles instead of hair. This is a rough, type of hair that sparsely covers their body. They will shed this hair.
Most pigs will eat just about anything, anytime. Little Peters loves cucumbers, cauliflower, corn, and tomatoes.
A lot of pigs end up being very overweight because humans overfed them.
Pot bellied pigs are the fourth smartest animal, and can be trained commands such as “sit”, and “lie down”, and can be litter trained or house trained.
