While I think they are cute as heck and would be fun to play with, we couldn't have one on base housing. Even if we could I'm not sure if my husband would go for that. A pig is not an animal I am familiar with. I'd have to seriously research how to take care of one. Like a puppy, I'm sure they are cute while small, but a huge responsibility when they get bigger. We currently only have enough room for a cat and barely have a yard. If we had lots of land I'd go for it though!
