I'm guessing that was probably due to unsanitary living conditions in the shop or beforehand at the breeder's or broker's. There is plenty of evidence linking foot problems such as bumblefoot to pigs being housed on mesh flooring, not to mention the obvious risks Ly has mentioned of their little feet or legs getting caught in the mesh. I've housed my pigs on shavings for nearly 4 years and the biggest foot problem I've run into is spurs. And if you keep their cage clean, they won't be dirty. Only last week I brought my Shakira in to the vet and he commented on how clean she was, and asked if I'd bathed her lately. She hadn't had a bath in months!They have the softest pink pads on their feet that looks very healthy - while they used to have crusty feet when they were on flat surfaces in the shop.
