Thanks for all the advice folks. Im not gonna keep him inside for too long, i'll build him a pen once i think he is big enough to get by on his own outside.

I will say this, he is one loud gruntin/squealin little thing, only time he stops is when he lays down.

they r some squealers. the 1 I brought hm from the bumpers tourney came inside for several wks. he still had part of his embilical cord attached. put him in a small dog cage and give him replacer and for the first couple days, he didn't drink. bout day 3 he figured it out. bout day 6, when I would come in from work or get up to go to work, he figured out that squealing till he got fed is what did the trick. he got so bad that when I opened the cage to pour his replacer/dog food mix in, he wouldn't wait for me to pour it before he was in the bowl. after a couple wks, he went out with the other piglets and he would NOT stop the squealing and got the other piglets and bacon to squealing for food. he didn't last much longer.
he became a whole fryer.  Grin

Why should I trade one tyrant three thousand miles away for three thousand tyrants one mile away? An elected legislature can trample a man's rights as easily as a king can!
