I would love one, but I think the price tag is too steep- about $2000 NZ!
I think we have enough pets already at our house, even if they can be house trained. ... but I do love pigs - they are so intelligent and have great personalities. I was lucky enough to run a breeding unit on a 200 sow unit when i was at vet school.. was a great way to spend the summer!
On the negative side, the smell is an issue - I took my students to visit a large piggery once - we got spattered with pig um poo, and the smell as we got back on the bus was indescribable - the gumboots had to go in the boot of the bus. As we were backpacking in primitive conditions, I later had to use my fleece jacket as a pillow - phew!! I relived that piggery alright.
I did have the best nails I have ever grown that summer on the pig farm - I don't think my finger nails went near my mouth once !
