         In this episode of The Pet Pig Podcast, host Autumn  dives into the importance of enrichment for pet pigs and how it can prevent boredom-related behaviors like destruction, pushiness, and even depression. Since pigs are highly intelligent—often compared to a three-year-old child—they need activities that engage their natural instincts, such as rooting, foraging, problem-solving, and socializing.

          Autumn shares practical enrichment ideas, including:

             • Food-Based Enrichment: Scattering food, using treat puzzles, freezing treats, and creating DIY rooting boxes.

             • Physical Enrichment: Providing outdoor rooting areas, supervised walks, and obstacle courses to encourage movement.

             • Mental Stimulation: Teaching new tricks, training with magic words, and problem-solving games to keep their minds active.

             • Social & Environmental Enrichment: Spending quality time with your pig, interacting through grooming or play, and ensuring they have a stimulating environment.

          By incorporating these strategies, pig owners can keep their pigs happy, engaged, and well-behaved. Tune in for expert tips and personal experiences to help create a fulfilling life for your pet pig!
