    when i bought my first pig the total was 120. then i went out for a second one and it was 60. they go through about 15 in pellets and hay each month. about 20 in fresh veggies. They eat a lot of romaine lettuce and love apple peels. i stopped using shavings and switched to fleece, but the bedding cost about 13 a month. i spend over 2 hours a week cleaning up after them. They have vitamin c drops for their waters, the bottle was 8. They are very social and get upset if you dont spend time with them each day. They are not pets you can buy then just forget about..

    Cage, bedding, water bottles, etc. Will run about $100 to $150.

    Monthly food and bedding will run you about $20.

    Typically, it would cost $100, but if you purchase anything extra such as toys, treats, and other supplies, it will add up to more. Also, keep in mind that you will need to restock supplies such as bedding and food overtime, so the expenses will continue increasing.
