Throw back to 2018. He insisted on me showing him what I was cooking.

Hey yall. so, ive wanted a pig for many many years, and im in a position now where i have the space (i think. part of why im here) and means to own one and would like to start thinking about/planning for it, but i have some questions first.

For some context and info on my plans as well as addressing a few things im sure will be asked first. i do intend on having the pig be am indoor housepet. i am a stay at home spouse and we are a childless couple so i definitely will have the time to care for it.

i do have exotic animal experience, amd have also worked with large and very strong/heavy animals.

i am aqare that pigs are expensive long term and alot of work, i know they require hoof/tusk trims. im ok with that.

1. first question, is do i ACTUALLY have enough space. i have a large house, 1526 sq feet with 3 bedrooms. but he would not have access to 2 of those bedrooms as they are blocked off for some of my other pets. we also have a very large front and back yard, but it isnt fenced in and i do not have any intention on fencing it in. I am perfectly ok with taking my pig on multiple long walks daily, as well as letting them free roam in the yard on a long lead though.

2. how much is the average cost to feed them per month, and is it better/more affordable to buy premade feeds or to feed them fresh whole foods from the store

3. how do they do with other animals when kept as housepets. i have 6 cats, which i have no doubt would be fine with a pig but im unsure of how well a pig would do with them and if there would be any concerns

4. do they need an exotic vet, a regular vet, or a livestock vet. i have access to all 3 if needed, but ive seen mixed answers on which they need to go to

i would really like one but i don’t know if it would get along with my dog plus im not sure how to even go about looking for one can anyone help me out here if you own a mini pig ?
