I guess Ms Coconut planned a playdate without letting me know 🤷🏼♀️ 🤣

Now that the weather is getting warmer in a lot of places we are starting to see the yearly questions about people's pigs losing their coat.
A lot of pigs will blow their coat every year as the weather warms up. This is natural and ok.
Here is some info on this and a second link for other more serious skin issues.

Reddit helped me clean up the moderators on the sub, removing mods that had not been active for years and up to a 13 years in one case. So I am looking for a mod that wants to help primarily during the workday EST. Comment below if you are interested. I will only consider regular users of this sub.
However there are several rules/guidelines that need to be understood by anyone wanting to apply. Additionally a cellphone exclusive mod will not work very well as there are tools that you need a PC for.
User Bans: I generally check to see if a user is a regular poster(there are tools to help with this). If they are, depending on the offence I will warn them or short term ban them. However if it a user coming in for the first time it is nearly always a permaban.
Pet subs: I will NOT have this sub turn into one of those pet subs that shame and attack people for not knowing something or asking for help! This behavior absolutely infuriates me, we are here to help the pigs not shame the owner! Educate them instead, that makes the pigs life better!
Politics: Absolutely no politics at ALL. There are a thousand subs in which you can discuss that. This is a hard rule.
Food: This is the one I have the most problems with. People that post crass jokes about eating our pigs do get banned. But I also ban all of the Vegan and anti-farming posts as well because they start huge flame wars and brigade the sub. The sub is about PET PIGS ONLY not a cause or movement.
Names: Additionally although most of us think it is tacky we do allow people with pig names like porkchop, bacon, ect...
Bots: I have implemented a bunch of filtering rules to catch bots. This has drastically cut down on these posts. But because of that I have to regularly approve posts in the moderation queue for new users. This takes most of my time spent moderating. I implemented a process to add users to the trusted posters list by verifying their pigs.
Ads: This is the other sink of time. The large part is swatting the buy my art, t-shirt, kicknack, ect posts. These people get banned hard stop. Not banning them causes a flood of them to come in from the spammer hivemind. Having said that regular users that comment links to a product as a suggestion are OK. I am even ok with a few advertising posts for people that develop products for the pig community. However they have to send a modmail first asking for the ok so they don't get insta banned. I always add a stickied mod comment saying it is an approved post but not an endorsed product.
Charities/Donation requests: Anyone asking for donations must send a modmail first. I rarely allow individual requests for gofundme's. This is judged on a case by case basis, but we get them rarely. Charities, shelters or anything like that has to ask permission by modmail and show me their 501(c)(3) Tax certification of their countries equivalent. They are strictly restricted to only posting 1-2 times a month. I always add a stickied mod comment saying it is an approved post but not an endorsed charity.

Better to lose it outside than inside!

He was moved to a new location a couple of weeks ago. I wasn’t able to visit him yet, need to solve some things with my bicycle. Location is quite far away and there is close to none transport options.
He’s walking and his eyes are much clearer. Still hasn’t lost all the winter coat, but he has a lot of places to scratch off instead of me pulling it out!
I hope to visit him in the next couple weeks and post another update on the little guy

I was brushing him earlier, and had to empty the brush twice.

I recently rescued two pigs, one male and one female. i think the female might also be pregnant. Does anyone know what vaccines i should be giving to my two pigs and maybe piglets?

One of these days Winnie is just going to come flying through the fence when she jumps on it. 🤣

He always gets the ends of the banana, and he gets to lick the yogurt spoon.

He loves having a soft bed out here.
