Loving your videos Autumn. I'm in the UK and my 2 boys are 4 months old. Thank you for all the advice and support you offer. It really means so much and gives me confidence that my boys are going to grow up to be very happy little chaps 😊 🇬🇧 ❤

Absolutely love your advice!! Thank you soo much for it all:)

Good video. 👍

Thanks❤

🙋‍♀️ first time mini pig owner, yesterday she jumped up on my leg and tried to hump it…I didn’t know what she was doing…went into search mode!! This was VARY helpful, thank you.

I am really looking forward to going through the rest of your videos. We have a five year old mini-pig named Elliott. We got him for our daughter for Christmas the year she was 16 because she had just lost a friend to suicide and she had dreamed of a mini pig for years and we thought he would help get through her grief. We thought we did our research. We are very experienced with training dogs. And I once trained donkeys to a saddle to ride, so we thought we were well prepared. We read about the truth of how big they could get and how not to get scammed when buying a baby. We prepared for the sleepless nights and for proper nutrition and socializing him with our dogs. My husband raised 2 farm pigs for 4-H but of course they were outside. We were a homeschooling family at the time so we were home all the time pretty much so he wouldn’t be left alone much. What I think we did wrong was that we protected him from the dogs too much. He played with our little Silky Terrier and they got along great but we kept him put up a lot due to worries about the dogs hurting him. I believe that was a mistake because we were not able to teach him the rules of the house while he was little. We did not find good training resources and he just didn’t get enough socialization or exposure to things outside, like car rides and things like that. He went on one trip as a baby and one car ride to be neutered. Now he is large and my daughter spends all of her time at home with him but typically he is in his pen under her loft bed with his toys and blankets or outside in the fenced in back yard with just the duck & chickens for company. She is so afraid that he is going to eat something he shouldn’t that she is bad about putting him up too soon. He just spends too much time in his pen/bed. She is 21 now and in college and looking for her first job as a CNA. I know that he is going to be more and more my responsibility as she is home less and less. But four years ago I got really sick and was in bed for 8 months and then just down a lot in recovery. It’s been a long recovery with a lot of anxiety and depression thrown in with all of the sickness and life changes. So when I am around Elliott the pig, he likes to charge me or swipe his head at me and snap. He is always in easy reach to actually bite or hit me but does not. But as I said, I have anxiety and he has just not been something I could face in the last few years. But I feel so bad for him. He is not living is best life and neither am I. He has his sweet side. He is so intelligent and has so much potential that I can not sit here and let him live his life being on the outskirts of our family herd/pack. He gets a long well with the dogs actually. Our bulldog ignores him and the favor is returned, my little Maltese stays out of his way and his old friend Sadie the Silky Terrier is scared of him and hurts his piggy feelings by not wanting to play with him anymore. Haha, he is just no longer her size. So I am trying to fix our relationship. I want to socialize him and let him know that he is NOT Boss Hogg around here! I want to explore his intelligence and challenge his mind with AAC buttons as I am doing with our dogs. But I can not do any of that until I am not afraid to feed him. Elliott and I need help.

Um so happy that i found that video

My Charlie as a young piglet would unties my shoelaces then when I would laugh and say quit it😂 I swear that he would sit down and laugh like a chimpanzee..

I'm glad I found your UKposts video I need help with my mini pig I just recently lost my job and had to move in with my sister she has 2 older pit bulls and I keep petunia in the bed room she is about 8 months old inside only she does well on her leash and harness to go outside for walks and potty time I found her on November 7th last year when I was sitting outside watching the red moon she was about 5-6 weeks old no one ever claimed her so I kept her I knew nothing about pigs and I'm learning no I didn't realize the maturity level of pigs and the menstrual cycle I didn't know she should have been fixed at an early age and I was saving money to get her fixed when I lost my job and home so now it's like starting over my sister loves her so much but is scared when her monthly comes on she does have the foot fetish she does head swiped me when she doesn't get her way and she goes into time out but I'd love to get help and make her a better piggy she is my registered ESA and I'd love to make her a therapy service animal to take to children hospital, nursing homes and to elementary and middle school to educate children on them thank you I enjoyed this video so much

Luckily I adopted Sadie pig when she was 2 years old & Sadie already went through the process of being domesticated. I can only imagine the Work that lady put in to make Sadie gurl pig so Calm to the point where she slept in the bed with her young kids & also when I came to adopt it, Sadie was not aggressive towards me at all. I mean this lady really put in the work & so knowing this I probably won't own another pig in my life time, in other words I was really lucky to come across such a Calm Loving potbelly pig. I can even kiss her on her snout/run my fingers along through her mouth touching on her teeth without any hesitation.

This explains soo much. So we have 2 female pigs. Daisy and pepepr. Daisy bit my husband on the ankle not super hard but firm? And he kinda ran away, and then i went in there to change their water and she tried to bite me, but i gently said no, and i moved her snout away and i kept speaking to hr in a calm voice. And she tested my pants, theyre loose fitting pants, and then she tried to kinda nudge bite me again and i keto telling her no and moving her snout. And eventually she left me alone. So today, went in to the pen no problems, they wrre happy to see me, but daisy had he rtial up and stared down my husband lol. I think she was challening him again

We just got a 2nd pig and our first pig is snapping at her. How do we fix this?

Hi, My pig is in season every month & she changes and gets obsessed with people,jumps up on their leg. She is about one year. The last days she has become destructive, ripping in pieces the dogs beds,soffa, pillows. She knows I'm the boss She outside with the dogs all day. Is the destruction a fase ??

Your videos are amazing! Would this work with a large pig as well? A friend asked us to help rescue a pig from slaughter (She bonded with it at the farm she worked at). It isn't what I would call aggressive but it does do things that I can see could lead to issues later... Like nudging me to play, being a bit pushy, etc. This is a MASSIVE pig so I will admit I am nervous about escalation! Thank you so much for these videos!

🤗🐷🌟GREAT VIDEO, Autumn, this video on the pecking order is very well explained by YOU. I have livestock ( horses), dogs and all, so I am very familiar with your statements and explanations🐽My girl pal, ‘PigPal’ was 8 years old last year when she died of what was suspected to be an infection caused by the disease, PYOMETRA. I NEVER bred her, never planned to so I thought that she would be fine NOT having her spayed, I should have had her spayed and I learned reason why I should have. I got a cute male pig 6 weeks ago, he is now 4 months old. In a few days he will be in for castration. I have been watching him carefully as he tests my dogs, seeing if he can push them. The dogs correct him properly, and he listens to them and backs off but still wishes to follow and that is okay. Everyone is inside and outside. Piglet boy is learning, under my watchful eyes. Your videos with information are helping me emotionally when things seem challenging, raising a youngster again.🌻🐷🌻

I think I need your help my piggy is nice to me but hates/ terrified of everybody else we have been using a sorting board for about 6 months with almost no change

I just got a mini pig yesterday and this little guy is so mean he barks and charges at us and i kno he is little but its scary also he bit onto a blanket that i was going to use to pick him up and held onto it with a death grip idk what to do 😢

What kind of board is mentioned in the video?

Meant to say rehome him

We have a 7 year old Juliana mini pig that lives in the house and has become more and more aggressive over the last year. She will just be laying down getting scratches from one of us then she will get up and snap at us. And she does this anytime without any warning. We need help because I worry about her with the kids and their friends!

I am so happy I seen this my pig is 8 months old I got him when he was 5 months and got him neutered right away he has been great he is out side inside pig he sets in my chair with me and my Yorkie but some time he gets a little aggressive with me he wants me to move so he can get behind me and if I don't let him he swipes me and tries to bite me also he's real food aggressive I try to be careful with his food and make him sit before I give it to him but he won't he'll knock it out of my hand I love this little guy and I do not want to get rid of him but I don't want to be afraid of him either I'm 64 years old I live in a RV with my pig and my little Yorkie most of the time it's good until he decides it's not I hope you can give me some tips I would greatly appreciate it

Oh so the same as a dog okay easy

So basically just slap and shout at it okay simple could've said that instead of a 10 min video
