January and February every year I am bombarded with messages from people who need help with their new piglet or they need help rehoming their brand new piglet they just brought home a couple weeks ago.  I do not suggest giving someone a piglet as a gift because the owner needs to be able to do research to know what they are getting into, to make an educated decision when it comes to getting a pig.  The reason this is so frustrating for me is because there are so many pigs in rescues and sanctuaries that have been rehomed. Who is responsible for these piglets? The answer is simple. It's the breeder that is responsible. It is their responsibility to support the family and to take the piglet back and find them a new home. Unfortunately, there are very few ethical, excellent breeders out there when it comes to pigs. Look for a breeder or a rescue that is going to educate, support and provide resources for you. What are some complaints that I get those first 2 months of every year from new piglet owners? Explain why piglets have these behaviors and how and why to correct them.
