Bringing home a piglet is one of the most exciting moments for any pig parent—but it can also be overwhelming, confusing, and a little emotional. In this episode of The Pet Pig Podcast, Autumn takes you step by step through what to expect in the very first week with your new piglet and how to set them (and yourself) up for success.

Autumn shares practical tips for preparing your home before your piglet arrives, including how to set up a safe starter space that feels like a nursery, not a prison. She explains the basics of litter box training, why patience is key when your piglet seems skittish or squeals when touched, and how to avoid unintentionally reinforcing whining or destructive behaviors. You'll also learn why teaching independence from the start is one of the greatest gifts you can give your piglet—and how ignoring attention-seeking behaviors actually builds confidence and calm.

This episode also tackles common struggles like accidents, fear-based squealing, and even early biting tendencies, with solutions that focus on patience, consistency, and understanding. Autumn emphasizes that none of these challenges mean you're failing as a pig parent—they're simply normal stepping stones in your piglet's adjustment period.

If you're preparing to bring home a piglet, or if you've just started your journey and feel unsure about the squeals, messes, or setbacks, this episode will encourage you, equip you with tools, and remind you that your piglet doesn't need you to be perfect—just patient. With the right start, you'll build a strong foundation for a happy, confident, lifelong companion.
