Pot Bellies and other Miniature Pigs,
By Becky R. Myatt (Franklin, NC United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pot Bellies and Other Miniature Pigs (Paperback)
I have been looking for a good book about Pot Bellied Pigs for a long time, and I belive this book to be excellent. It is packed full of useful information and has the cutest pictures you will ever see. I recommend this book to any PBP owner if they are new to this wonderful pet or if they have had one for years. I don't believe that you will be disappointed.

Great Book for beginning pig parents.,

This review is from: Pot Bellies and Other Miniature Pigs (Paperback)
Having just acquired our first piglet, we were looking for all types of information about these animals. We found this book answers just about all of the questions we have had to this point. In fact, this is probably all the 'pig book' we will need for a long time. We highly recommend this book to anyone just starting out. Lots of information in great detail for beginning pig owners.

Very Disappointing Pig Book,
By Q. - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Pot Bellies and Other Miniature Pigs (Paperback)
This book is so not what its title suggests. I was looking for some basic information on pot-bellies in general- what it's like to live with them, how to choose one, care for one etc., in order to determine whether or not a pig would fit into my life.Unfortunately the book told me next to nothing about any of this. It reads like the author was just trying to fill up the pages with no regard for the usefulness of the information. There is a section on pig illnesses for example that is just ridiculously long, listing every possible pig infection, rash, hoof problem, disease, etc. but without telling the reader how to handle the problem, what the symptoms are, or whether a vet should be called or not. I also learned nothing about how to choose a pig, about different pig personalities or about general pig behavior. The photos in the book are cute (because how can a pig not be cute?) but the clothing the people are wearing looks like it is from the 1970's, which further confirms my suspicion that the books itself it just a quick throwing together of old information from other pig books, rather than a well-thought out, well-written, up-to-date book on pot-bellies. If you're looking for information on pot-bellies, there have to be better books out there. Don't waste your money on this one. 12 of 16 people found the following review helpful
