542.1. Comments

We have a potbellied pig about 6 months old that we took off the hands of a young woman who got in over her head. We were not looking for a pig but the word is out we love animals and give them our time.

He was 10 weeks when we got him. We started him in a small room and put a litter box in the corner. He would not go in the litter box. We removed it and put down paper. He went on it but also in another corner with no paper. We made the mistake of giving him more access to the house because we enjoyed him being around us thinking that if we kept the small room's door open he would continue to pooty in there. He Doesn't. He goes on kitchen floor and in living room. I have started feeding him outside thinking that while he's there he would potty. Believe it or not in the morning he goes right to the door waiting to go out and eat. After he eats I stand with him and he holds his kidneys. When I get tired and comes back in he goes in the living room and wets. We have failed miserably. We need to start over. Where do we begin? If he was big enough we'd have bacon. Just Kidding!!!!!!
