Bathing: Pigs are so naturally clean that baths are required only occasionally. That’s not to say your pig cannot enjoy more frequent bathing. This is fine, especially if your pig has good skin and coat condition, as too much bathing can exacerbate the dry skin condition that can be such an annoyance to the potbellied pig owner. Bathing can be accomplished in several ways depending on the size and temperament of your pig. An outdoor pool with sun-heated water is a good option in the spring and summer. With your pig already familiar and happy relaxing in her pool, you can grab the brush and your bathing supplies and get to it. Float Cheerios atop the water to keep your piggy contented and busy while scrubbing behind those cute little ears!
