The Secrets to a Successful Bath with Your Minature Pig

Making bath time pleasant is pretty simple if you understand a few things about your piglet.

Pigs do not like slippery surfaces
Pigs are careful about new situations
Food makes everything better


Step-by-Step...

Put a towel down on the bottom of the tub to provide a nonslip surface
Place your piglet in a dry tub and offer treats
Once your piglet seems comfortable in the tub without water, put the faucet on low and aim for lukewarm water
Offer your piglet more food and allow him or her to check out the water
If your piglet seems comfortable with the water, turn the faucet on higher and plug the drain
As the water continues to rise, continue praising your pig and offering more treats
If the piglet seems uncomfortable or scared stop the water and offer food
If it's too much, let the piglet out and continue bath time again on another day
If piggy says its okay to continue, begin to incorporate soap and continue to offer treats
When bath time is over, dry your piglet off and offer one last treat for good behavior
