Do excuse the mess by the by :D
My dominant pig Tim had become much more confident and friendly so I've started to teach him silly little tricks, like standing up and jumping through a hoop! He seems to like it a lot because he'll sometimes just popcorn through my red hoop instead of jumping haha

My other pig Gizmo didn't seem to like the hoop very much so I don't make him do the jumping but he's fine with standing up like a meerkat haha! He'll do that on his own sometimes when he hears the hay bag rustling bless him.

But if the hoop jumping can hurt them somehow please let me know and I'll stop it straight away!
 
Oh how clever! that's very cute :) you must be patient to teach a little pig to jump through a hoop.

ah thank you! to be honest he's learned pretty quickly, we've only been training for a few days and i cam already lift the hoop a few inches for him to jump !
 
I think it's OK, I think there is a clip on this forum somewhere, where someone's trained her piggy to do tricks. The only thing I would say is you don't make the hoop to high as they may injure they limbs.
 
That's great! My daughter has tried hard to train our girls with no luck so far! You must have a very clever piggy there.
 
So cute! One of ours would popcorn on demand, but we never tried anything fancier!
 
Yeah I don't think it's bad to teach them tricks, more likely a good thing because gives them something to stimulate their brain and keeps them active :) really cute and shows how much time you must spend with him :)
