[Sarah Michelle Virginia DeRosier · Rating 3 out of 5]

Really cute short and simple book about potbelly pigs obviously for younger kids. But fairly informative I didn't realize they needed as much yard space is they do, so I understand why it is that local breeders that I've looked up locally ask that you either own a home or plan on owning one.
As somebody that works in the veterinary field I always encourage people to go out and do research on any kind of pet they want to bring home. because so many people just don't do the proper research that they really need to do. we(vet techs) are constantly encouraged as students or as fully certified technicians that a good bulk of our job is to educate the public on pet care;whether it be on general pets or exotics just so people know how to properly take care of a pet like this if they do want to bring in their home so information that educates adults or kids is probably always going to be very encouraging on my part as long as it's accurate
