Pigs are omnivores and will eat meat, including other pigs if given the opportunity. This behavior is more common in wild or feral pigs rather than domesticated pigs, especially if they are not being fed a balanced diet.

Are pigs herbivores?

Pigs are omnivores, and are happy eating either plant or animal products. More or less, yes. I say that because pigs will eat just about anything! If you are keeping a pot belly pig as a pet for instance, you should not feed it meat as it tends to make them aggressive. Pig feed, some fruits and veggies are good.


Do potbelly pigs eat straw?

It is a myth that pigs do not eat hay or, as a well-known jingle claims, they they do not know how to eat hay. Pigs eat hay fairly regularly and digest it thoroughly. Pigs raised on farms are not "mostly fed grain and protein supplements" for two primary reasons: 1) pigs will pasture forage like horses and cows; and, 2) grain and protein supplements are expensive. Pigs do not digest hay like cows and deer. Neither do horses. However, pigs graze like cows and horses, eating hay, grass, alfalfa, clover, etc. On farms during winters, pigs are regularly fed hay fairly exclusively. Because hay has a relatively low caloric value, pigs' manure in the winters is fairly "clean" -- high in cellulose and low in "dirty" waste.
