Oinkers is the ultimate lazy cuddle buddy. He loves to lay outside in the sun, loves one-on-one attention, and to cuddle on the couch or bed in warm blankets. He needs time to warm up to new visitors and does better in a quiet environment. Oinkers does not like a lot of commotion. Oinkers loves head scratches and belly rubs, and enjoys all kinds of fruits and fresh veggies except mushrooms and asparagus. He's doesn't mind dogs, but he has been targeted by dogs often in the past, so extra care should be taken when dogs are around him. (Dogs and pigs should always be supervised and never left alone when together.)
In the past, he's done well with kids of all ages as long as they allow him to approach first and are gentle with him. Unfortunately, Oinkers is not doing well with changes in the family and is becoming territorial and jealous of the attention directed to the new addition. He is becoming destructive and loud in the home.
Transportation is available to his new home within 100 miles. He travels well in cars.
