personally I don't see a need for pigs, I raise retics on rabbits and they are in perfect health. Pigs worry me because they're so fatty. But if you want to feed pigs your best bet is probably to check with your local pig farmer about selling you the runts that they kill anyway. Or maybe someone here can point you in the right direction.

Yeah I'd have to agree with Donnie.  If you choose to feed piglets, then I'd definetely check with your local hog farmer and get the runts.  We have a hog house near my house that I could get some pretty cheap, but I seriously doubt they'd freeze and ship them.  Good luck!

I don't see where it would cause that big of a problem if it's just every now and then.  Like we said, just check with a local pig farmer!!

i agree you really dont need pigs, my friend breeds burms and retics and hes allergic to rabbits so he really doesnt use them much he feeds his burms and retics jumbo rats and hes got some huge snakes, i think his big granite burm is 16 -17 feet and around 180 -200 pounds  she lays around 50 - 60 eggs a year. ill try and get a pic of her
next time
