I'm not thinking about getting a pet pig. But have seen an uptick in videos of them.

Are they litter box trained? Or trained to go outside? Is it pretty much like a dog in that regard?

I've read that they all get big. Like really big. Even the ones that they claim are teacup pigs or whatever. So be prepared for it to be BIG if you get a pig.

Pigs are super smart, and they can be trained to go outside. But "miniature" pig breeds grow up to be between 70 and 300 pounds, and they need a lot of stimulation, so they're not suitable as pets for most people.

They are scientifically smarter than dogs and keep themselves clean when indoors. They can easily be taught to go outside.
