More and more people are keeping pets these days, but taking care of pets is no easy task; it requires a lot of time and effort, especially if you have multiple pets, as they may fight frequently, causing headaches for many pet owners. The story we're telling today is about an owner who, in an effort to save time, kept a dog and a pig together. Pigs are easily assimilated, making one worry for this pet owner.
A Thai owner initially had a small dog that was surprisingly destructive, once even digging a small hole in the wall. A year later, wanting a companion for the dog, the owner got a pet pig. However, the pig wasn't what they expected; it spent almost all its time eating and sleeping, and couldn't play with the dog at all! After letting them get used to each other, the owner started raising them together.
A month later, sensing something was wrong and trouble was brewing, the owner discovered that when the dog was hungry, it would always nibble on the pet pig's hooves. Was this a sign of deep affection? Meanwhile, the pet pig just lay there obediently, seemingly not taking the dog's actions seriously.
When the pet pig grew to over ten kilograms, the dog suddenly became thinner. After inquiring, it turned out the pet pig had been eating dog food. No wonder it's a pig, it can really eat! The dog probably really likes this friend, which is why it didn't care that the pig ate dog food.
Gradually, the owner had much more free time, and the dog often played with the pet pig, rarely seeking to play with its owner. The owner, however, felt quite disappointed, as if they had lost their pet's affection, and even seemed to regret getting the pig. Haha, to be honest, keeping two pets together, if they get along well, can indeed be very convenient. However, pet owners still need to spend more time and energy with their pets, and not just limit themselves to feeding them because they can keep each other company. Nowadays, many people are considering having a second child, thinking that they will have each other for company. In fact, many problems will inevitably arise in the process of raising two children. The children will compete for attention and fight. As parents, you should treat both children equally and not show favoritism to either one.
Popular Science Tip: Pet pigs have relatively high requirements for their living environment. They need a quiet and dry place with a temperature between 18-29 degrees Celsius. They are generally sensitive to cold, especially in winter, so it's important to keep them warm. Owners can provide extra blankets to prevent them from catching a cold or even getting diarrhea. Pet pigs are generally clean and don't usually need baths; simply wiping their mouths and noses with a towel is sufficient. However, if they get particularly dirty, a bath is necessary. It's important to note that frequent bathing can easily lead to skin diseases.
