PIGS CAN BE TRAINED TO USE LITTER BOXES. THE SIZE OF THE BOX WILL BEPEND ON THE SIZE OF YOUR PIG. DON'T BUY THE PLASTIC KIND OF LITTER BOXES. JUST USE A CARDBOARD BOX, MAKE SURE PIG IS ABLE TO GET IN IT. PLASTIC BOXES SCARE PIGS BECAUSE THEY ARE SO SLIPPERY. ALWAYS USE PINE PELLETS. THE CAT LITTER ( CLAY PELLETS ) CONTAIN ALOT OF DUST. IF PIGS INHALE THE DUST AND IT GETS INTO THEIR LUNGS THEY CAN EASILY DEVELOP RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS. AT 1ST MY PIG LOVED TO TIP HER LITTER BOX OVER, TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM SIMPLY PUT A LARGE PUCK IN THE BOX. ~ GOOD LUCK
