Mini Pig Enrichment: Outdoor Adventures

Who said pools are only for humans? Swimming can be a great enrichment activity for your four legged and hoofed friend as well as great exercise! Pools are GREAT! Inflatable pools or hard plastic pools work unless your pig is a destructor. Many vegetables will float in the water. This is a great way to introduce your pig to the pool and make it rewarding. A pig can enjoy her pool in many ways, cooling off, splashing, flopping, having a floating salad, etc.If your pig is particularly fond of the water you can even SINK treats and she will snorkel around the bottom of the pool!! I find pigs like traction, so the inflatable pools work great for that. If you have a hard plastic pool your pig hesitates to enter, try using a rubber bathmat with suction cups. It'll give her peace of mind and make her adventures more adventurous. Snacks in the pool are a great way to cool off, hydrate by drinking more water, and make that lunchtime salad last a big longer.
