What YOU need to know…
What makes us unique?
Our business is unique because we care for our pets and their wellbeing, we put them first. We bought our pigs at 8 weeks old during the Covid-19 lockdown and our love grew for them as we spent day after day with them.
PIC number
A Property Identification Code (PIC) is an eight-character alphanumeric code allocated by Agriculture Victoria. Victorian PICs begin with the numeral 3, followed by four letters and three more numerals, for example, 3ABCD123. The first two letters identify the municipality of the property.
A PIC is compulsory for all pig owners, visit the link below which will take you to the application.

Feeding your pet pigs…
Pigs like to be in routine, they like to know when it’s time to eat so it is best to get them used to a certain time of being fed.
Food - any grain suitable for pigs, we use steam rolled barley and basic pig grain.
Up to 6 months old: 150 grams of each, twice a day (morning and evening)
6 months+ : 350g of each, twice a day
It is important that your pet pig is getting fed at roughly the same time everyday.
(A small serving per day of compost scraps is also recommended to treat your pet pigs)
Pigs should also have access to water all the time.
Do not feed pigs meat, fish, or their bones, oils or juices or any food that has touched these substances.
Raising your pig…
Shelter is needed as well as an area outside for the pig.
Pigs love to turn grass upside down as they love the roots from the grass, so say goodbye to your fresh green grass.
Pigs are relatively clean, the manure will pile up if left too long so make sure it is being cleaned regularly
Using straw or sawdust is great for pigs to sleep in as it is warm and comforting for them.
And finally, smother your pig with belly rubs and pats. They love it!
