I have two pigs, about six months, they're very fast and lively.
I adopted two older pigs in the summer, both said to be 2 years old - but I'm so sure they're older pigs.
I've had pigs till 8 years, and they grow to get sluggish and slow, and one in the end lost a lot of weight, looked really scruffy.
The eldest of the two newest pigs is so sluggish and stays in her house all day everyday. She eats fine, she's a monster compared to the six month old pigs. She never runs, not even to evade being picked up, she doesn't popcorn, just sleeps all day (with her head resting on the floor). But I don't remember my previous pigs seeming so..old...at just two years old.
She's one of the largest pigs I've seen, but her behaviour and temperament lead me to believe she's possibly much older than two. You know when animals are obviously OAPs? I'm curious, what are your two year old pigs like? Maybe it's normal? I know there isn't a way of knowing, but it is something I wonder every day!
