“Every Experience, Good or Bad, is a Priceless Collector’s Item..” –Isaac Marion

If you research online, you are guaranteed to find yourself quickly bombarded with information on various topics regarding mini pigs. You will find opinions from multi

ple different suppliers, breeders, and just individuals who feel as though they have some information to provide. While a lot of this information has proven very valuable to me, it took the experience of personally being a mini pig parent before I began to figure out what types of things worked well, what worked somewhat, and what didn’t really work at all. Throughout my experience I have wasted a lot of time, which is something most of us seem to have very little of, researching these things. I have also spent an insane amount of money on products, only to find out that my piggy wanted absolutely nothing to do with them, or to find out that the products were poorly made and didn’t hold up for very long. My experiences led me to the decision that I wanted to create a place (FOR ALL THINGS PIGGY) that pig parents could come to as a ONE STOP SHOP; a place created by and operated by a pig parent; a place that sells products that are the exact same kind as those used and loved by other mini pigs; a place that you will want to keep coming back to. While deciding upon the specific items that I wanted to stock my online store with, I started thinking back to the day that I brought Wilbur, my pet mini pig, home and the things that I needed immediate access to. I then thought about the things that I have needed as I have watched Wilbur grow. I now plan to carry these items in my store, and will be listing them as quickly as I am able to. The items can be purchased individually or in bundle packs. I will be providing additional details on the bundle packs very soon! While I intend to continue to build my inventory & stock my store with several items, this all got started with the production of our rugs for rooting (Keep em' Busy™ Mats), which was later followed by the creation and production of our Balls for Rooting & Rolling (Root'n'Roll™). Each of these items can be viewed in our photo albums and can be ordered by sending us a message. I learned a lot about rugs and mats for rooting/enrichment/treat dispensing through purchasing 3 different rugs for Wilbur to find out that each one was cheaply constructed. It was very disappointing to watch as the material got all stringy and balled up. After feeling as though I had completely wasted my money as I watched the rugs fall apart within a short amount of time, along with that fact that I had spoken with several individuals whose pigs and dogs had completely demolished rugs and mats in the past due to the poor construction of the product, I decided to toss what was left of the mats I had purchased and personally make a rug for my special little piggy… I decided, after learning what a time consuming process it was going to be, that if I was going to make a rug, it was going to be one that was going to last. Therefore, I researched what would be the best mat to use and finally discovered a heavy-duty product that has worked very well! Wilbur uses his rug a lot and isn’t very easy with it, but yet it still looks as good as it does the day that I gave it to him. After I constructed Wilbur’s rug, it sparked the interest of several people who saw photos of it, as well as those who saw it when they stopped by my house. Several friends began to ask what I would charge to make one for their pet. I made a few and continued to receive more interest so I decided that I was going to start making them to sell and things continued to grow and progress from that point forward. So far, I have received nothing but positive feedback from all of my customers and they have expressed extreme satisfaction with my product. It always warms my heart when they send photos of their piggies using my rugs! After this adventure, on came the Root’n’Roll balls…

I hope that we can be of help to you and your pet. Further information can be found on our page and/or by sending us a private message. Thanks so much for stopping by and we hope to be working on an order for you very soon!
