In this episode, Autumn shares essential tips for helping pet pigs adjust to springtime changes, including dealing with mud, encouraging outdoor time, managing grazing, and preventing issues like clover mold.
Key Tips:
• Managing Mud & Rain: Use straw, wood chips, or pavers to reduce mud in high-traffic areas. Set up a cleaning station (like a shallow tub of warm water) to rinse off mud before pigs enter the house.
• Encouraging Outdoor Time: Since some pigs dislike rain, feeding them outside, using high-value treats, or dressing them in a cape or jacket can help motivate them to go outdoors.
• Safe Grazing Practices: Introduce grazing gradually to prevent bloating and excessive weight gain. Adjust their diet if necessary to maintain a healthy weight.
• White Clover Mold Warning: White clover in damp, cool weather can cause excessive drooling in pigs due to mold growth. Keeping pigs away from clover until temperatures rise will prevent this harmless but surprising issue.
Spring is an exciting time for pigs!
