Answer 2

For the piglets I would reccomend using a milk replacer, dpending on how old they are, they usually nusrs for months after they are born, so it is important they get nutrients that are contaned in their mothers milk, you can also introduce them to solid food as well, pigs also really enjoy keft over food that you and your family may usually throw away, things like eggshells, old vegetables, fruit and stale bread, they love it and it is a good way to dispose of food you will not use. You may encounter problems with the pigs as they grow old dpendeding on the sexes of the piglets, for sometime if their is multiple makes in with one or more females they may not get along. I would pay close attention to this as they grow. For the duck I wold reccomend getting flock raiser, which you can purchase at your local feed store, I love raising ducklings they are very fun pets. You need to make sure that they are constantly warm, around 90 degrees for the first week of life and then lower the temperature for the 3 wekks about a degree or two a day. If you live in a warm are it is okay for them to be outside during the day as long as you are watching them. You can elt them swim if you like but mae sure they are warm after they get out of the water. Keep them enclosed at night, change food and water everyday and remeber they will become messy as they get older so make sure they are in an area where you wont walk a lot. Flcomraiser is a product you can feed the ducklings their entire life as well, whereas with the piglets the food will change with age.

Answer 3

I would get food for a pot belly or pig food pellets. It has everything they need and they wont turn out to big if you don't over feed them. You should be able to get this cheap enough at a feed store. The ducks will eat bugs and such and a kiddy pool they love but for now they are a bit small for that so something they can climb out of with just enough water they can swim in. It would be a good idea to ask the feed store also what types of food they have for them. Its all about there diet and what makes them strong and live long. The pot belly pigs can get really big if fed people food or to much of anything. Another thing is the pigs nails. They can get to long so ask about that too at the feed store you may need a type of file to file there nails later. You may need to play with there feet by touching and petting them now so they will let you file there nails later. Most of them love there belly's scratched. Picking them up they hate since they have a few tummy's it may hurt them but you can make them tamer by feeding them and walking with there food in a container so they follow you or placing food in your lap. And if you do get a kiddy pool for the ducks the pig might want to play in there too. Might be a good idea to clean it out before the pig gets in there just in case one of the ducks has something the pigs can catch. Good luck!

Answer 4

pot bellied pigs need a special diet which is made and you have to call around to find out who carries the special foods.
They can die without the right nutrition.
ducks again duck food is what they should be on cracked corn is not enough.

Answer 5

you could maybe give the pigs warm milk or something. not sure about the ducks. prolly jsut keep em on the corn. or jsut give em like fish food. when i go to the lake the ducks and geese eat the fish food.
