VIETNAMESE POT BELLIED PIG

Potbellied pigs have a sway back, large "pot belly" stomach, and when compared to other breeds of pigs, relatively short snouts. They have small, rounded, pricked ears, straight tails and often have wrinkled faces.

Adult Potbellied pigs have course, dense bristles and most have a "Mane" or "Mohawk" that runs along the top of the neck and topline. The Mohawk bristles can be raised or lowered based on the pigs emotional state (upright bristles does not always indicate aggressive feelings).

Pigs are omnivores. They eat fruit, vegetables, grains and meat. They also have quite a sweet tooth. They use their snout to 'root' up tasty roots and shoots. When grasses and other leafy greens such as clover, dandelions, chickweed, alfalfa and many kinds of 'weeds' are available they spend quite a bit of time grazing.
