Mama pig get 8-9 years IF she have good legs and "boobs" (Juver in swedish, idk english word for it). So she can give her babies milk so they grow good.

They very smart. Like very very smart. Sometimes they escape and idk HOW they did it. But do one time, do more times. They learn where to bite. To hurt and not hurt.

I did start to control there teeth and some learn when I wanted in to there mouth. And did open it for me.

oh that's interesting, had no idea they would bite but guess it makes sense
do they get to run free too, or are they always in their boxes?

Never outside.
Mama pig is in a bigger box with her bebies. straw to lie on or play with. Also eat.

mama pig who is pregnant have a deep bed with straw. Alot of straw. There they sleep and eat util they is about to give birth and then we take them to the box full of straw.

Pigs bite if they afriad. Some bite just bc they can, and then jump around after like if they wanted to play. Order baby pig do that alot, bite and then run or jump like a game.

never, like they're indoors their whole life?😭
it's good that their space is comfortable n u take good care of them, but ahh
