Wendy Scudamores judgement and experience called into question after regular endorsement of a micro pig breeder, Eva Magnusson, who recommends feeding Dog and Cat food to pet pigs.
The website http://www.minigrisar.se/ offers dietary advice, see below, that pet pig owners should view as being highly sceptical.
Pigs should never be fed Dog or Cat food as suggested by this breeder!
Below are comments from others concerning this practice
This is Wendy Scudamores view on the subject
If it’s within the law, and your pig is looking good, feed it meat or anything else you want?
Now is that the sort of response you’d expect from the chairman of The British Kune Kune Pig Society and someone who claims to fight for the wellbeing of pigs?
About admin
I am intelligent, very affectionate and will reward loving owners with many years of companionship. Depending on my generation I will be 14’’ – 20’’ high when I am fully grown. I will always remain tiny compared to a farm pig and be smaller than any other pigs you are likely to meet. I am happiest being the only piggy of the family but do not like being alone. I really enjoy time indoors with my owners and will not leave fur or hair on carpets and furniture, many people with allergies think I make the perfect pet. I am a pet pig and I need my own space, outdoor space where I am free to root and be myself. I will be lonely and bored without your company so if you cannot be with me, please let me have a piggy friend to play with. I do not smell and I am extremely clean. I can be litter trained quickly and will learn more tricks than dogs and cats because I am smarter. I can be taken for walks but feel equally content staying at home. I am cheap to feed and will live over 10 years if you look after me. I like being fit and healthy and do not want to be fat.
I am a pet micro pig
Oink, oink
