We have 2 'rescue' pot belly sows. When we first got them they would barge down the fences and walk down the road and terrorise (well, maybe a bit strong a word) the neighbours, but now (a year later) they have settled in just fine and are in a fenced paddock with 3 ewes and 1 ewe lamb. They get scraps whenever there is any and a pot belly pig feed (that we get in 15 kg bags from the feed mill - oh, how long should this last?) twice a day.The sheep will try and get in on the food but the pigs eventually show them whos boss. As the days are now getting hotter i was wondering if we could take out one of their daily "pig feed" feeds and replace it with dog food that has been soaked in water for a few minutes. I read this somewhere (cant remember where) but just wanna check if its safe. Also, reading other posts here, people are saying how they are aggressive and will eat chickens etc, these pigs *i think* were brought up as "pets" and are now quite "tame", although they dont like being touched or moved all that much, they will come when we call them for their feeds and have never bitten etc also the eating chickens and new borns thing, our lamb was born in that pen and is a very small breed, they didnt take any notice. we also have a few spare roos that free range through that paddock and they dont take any notice of them either.
sorry this is so long, just wanted to share my situation and see if it is suitable etc
