Miniature pet pigs bond readily to people and can make excellent pets as long as they are given an appropriate environment and their behavioral needs are met. They are intelligent and highly social with a strong exploratory drive so, if they are not properly trained and their behavior directed appropriately, they can be destructive and even aggressive in some cases. Most problem behaviors are not a result of behavioral disorder but typically represent normal swine behaviors that people find unacceptable.
小型宠物猪很容易与人建立亲密关系,如果能给它们提供一个合适的环境并满足其行为需求,它们可以成为非常好的宠物。它们聪明且高度社会化,具有强烈的探索欲望,因此,如果没有经过适当的训练和行为引导,它们可能会具有破坏性,甚至在某些情况下具有攻击性。大多数问题行为并不是行为障碍的结果,通常代表了人们无法接受的正常猪的行为。
