Pot-bellied Pigs and Children

How are They with Children?
In general, Pot Bellied pigs do get along with children, once they realize their
role in the big scheme of things. Pigs are a herd animal and need to either
establish dominance or be dominated. They usually figure out who is feeding
them and who is the authority in the house. This is true for most animals,
including cats and dogs. Make sure your kids never hit the pig as they have
excellent memories and will be very wary of it for the rest of their lives. Bring
you kid when feeding time comes, and allow your kid to give it some food.
More than likely, if you kid is very small, the pig will feel superior to it in the
pecking order. Never leave small kids alone with your pig, or for that matter,
NEVER LEAVE THEM ALONE, full stop. In general pigs and children get on pretty
well, but always be weary.
