Comment on How feasible is it to have a pet pig in an urban environment?

Oh, one other small thing. Once or twice a year, depending on the animal, pigs “blow coat”. This is not anything like shedding. ALL OF THEIR HAIR FALLS OUT AT ONCE. So there’s that to consider. :)

Honestly not very different from my late Shiba Inu

Understand, pigs go straight bald, excepting a fine layer of 3mm hairs. He looks diseased half way through. :)

    He looks like a rhino dying of some bizarre skin disease.
