'Potbellied Pig - Behaviour and Training by Priscilla Valentine'
Not my any means the normal type of pig book we would recommend but Priscilla Valentine has probably forgotten more about training Potbellied pigs than most pet pig keepers ever knew. With a 'Ten-Step programme for behaviour' and an 'A to Z Potbellied Pigs problems' section there is certainly plenty to keep avid Potbellied pig fans happy.
