trimming their feet, as long as they lay still, is easy peasy! i picked up some hoof trimmers made for ponies (something tells me you already have some!) and that's what i use. they do have a "quick" that you want to stay away from. since pigs are prey animals, restraining them isn't easy. that's why it's best to get them used to having their feet handled. there's a really great video that shows how to do it. i'll see if i can find it. so, even if you don't trim them yourself, still get them used to having their feet handled.
i'm sure your breeder will guide you as far as a deworming schedule. even though my pigs never leave the farm (unless harley is going for a car ride), i still deworm them every six months. i use liquid ivermectin. i detest giving shots so i just inject it into a big marshmallow and they scarf it right down.
pigs have notoriusly dry skin. since my pigs don't have thick hair, i slather them with lotion and make sure they have mud to wallow in. you can also feed them a raw egg a couple of times a week which helps with skin/hair health. lilly looked like a freakin' alligator when i got her. her skin was SO dry, she had huge scales all up and down her back. she was itching constantly. a few days of lotion and it was a LOT better!
are your boys littermates? i'll just throw this out there in case they are not and they haven't been raised together to this point. when you introduce new pigs to each other, there WILL be some squealing and carrying on and lots of "posturing" until they figure out who is the top hog. i have been extremely lucky because every time i've brought a new pig in, there was very little fighting. however, that isn't the norm! if you are introducing strange pigs to each other, you will want to stay out there with them and have a trash can lid handy to put between them if it gets too intense. sometimes pigs will fight to the point where one gets pretty torn up but for the most part, they just need to work it out. unless you see one getting really beat up on, it's best to NOT separate them as they WILL fight until it's worked out. i've had other pig moms tell me that they put a new pig in and then go shopping because it's so hard to watch the pecking order being established.
if you have dogs, NEVER EVER EVER turn your back. oftentimes, you will see pics of dogs playing with or sleeping with pot bellied pigs. this is quite the exception to the rule. a pig's squeal can and will incite a dog's prey drive and it's an invitation to disaster. one of the ladies on my yahoo pig group brought home a tiny piglet. they were out in the yard with her collie. she turned her back for literally 2 seconds and the dog attacked the pig. she nearly lost the little guy and it took many weeks of caring for terrible wounds before he was better. my dogs are NEVER allowed inside the pig pen. they do interact but always from the other side of the fence. in fact, swee' pea and harley have this little game where they face off nose to nose, pea barks, harley spins and runs away and then comes back and they do it all over again. rinse and repeat until one of them tires! LOL
when you are giving your piggies treats by hand, be very careful. they can bite and bite HARD!!!
i'm not sure where you live but if you have a winter, you will want to make sure your pigs get enough liquids. if they don't, they will get constipated very quickly. this time of year, i give my piggies warm juice...hawaiian punch, prune juice, cranberry juice. what i do is pour a little into a 1 gallon pitcher (maybe 2 cups or so) and then top it off with hot water. after they eat their pellets, they each get a helping of warm juice poured into their feed bowls. they LOVE it and it's hilarious to watch them slurp it down. arnold always buries his snout in it and blows bubbles while he's drinking. too cute!
pigs LOVE big cushy pillows and stuffed animals! here's a video of arnold when he was a baby, playing with a big teddy bear that the dogs so graciously let him have. LOL
i also have drilled holes in a couple of plastic soda bottles, put pellets in them and let the pigs roll them around. it doesn't take them long before they figure out...hmmm, roll the bottle, get a treat!
LOVE the names you have picked out!! have you seen the video of the little pig using a wheel chair because his back end doesn't work? OMG it's adorable! his name is cris p. bacon. LOL
here is the video of forrest getting his feet trimmed.
this is part one. if you go to youtube and type in "hoof trimming pot bellied pig", you will see this one and there's also a part 2.
