Has anyone here ever had one?

Someone gave me one once. My veterinarian explained what to feed it and how much. She said you're not supposed to make them fat. I fed it like she said, and she said I had a very healthy pig just the right weight. I kept it in a pen outside with a little house, and a neighbor called animal control and told them I was starving it. Animal control came out and said I wasn't feeding it enough because it's belly wasn't dragging the ground. I gave them my vet's number and had them call her so she could confirm I was feeding it the correct amount.

That made me so mad!

I don't think the potbelly pig should be so fat either. It is not that you are fattening him up so you can eat him. They are mistaking him for a regular pig.

I think that people who do not know the difference will have their opinions anyways. Since most people think pigs are to eat they do not think they should be pets.
