Until recently I've had all female pigs. I have to learn about the boys now. I know one person that has a neutered male potbellied pig and his tusk are long. The owner says it's not a problem. I've read that they can hurt you accidentally if their tusk are long. I can't see me trimming teeth so is this going to be a problem for me? Maybe I could invent some plastic or rubber covers for them that would come in different colors. :)
