Keith
Connell of Canada first brought the Pot-bellied pigs into
the United States in the early 1980s creating a pet pig craze
that still exists. Intelligent, clean, gentle and easily housetrained
are all qualities that endear these little roly-poly pigs
to pet lovers and backyard hobbyists. Pot-bellied pigs can
be black, white, spotted and bluish gray. They get along well
with other animals and when treated gently, are wonderful
pets for children. At the Natural Bridge Zoo, you will often
see one of our little mother sows waddling around the zoo
with her little piglets waiting to steal your popcorn and
have their pictures taken.
