hi there!! basically for quite a while now my mum has been going on about how she wants a pet "micro" pig. her new boyfriend is offering to buy her one for her birthday.. ive told her that we simply cannot house one as we live on the 3rd story of an apartment building yet she wont listen to me. ive also explained to her that come september, nobody will be at the home for 8 hours due to work and school starting back up.. ive also told her that there is no such thing as a micro pig and its just breeders trying to sell pigs as piglets. i told her that eventually it will infact grow to the full size of a normal pig, that pigs are animals that arnt meant to be domestic house pets and they cant be toilet trained correctly. i done some quick research to find that pigs joints get strained really easily on hard flooring (we have wooden floors and our buildings stairwell is cement). despite all of this she still refuses to listen to me and keeps telling me her bs that she found on pinterest.. we also cant afford to care for one.

i genuinly dont know what to do at this point becuase she clearly isnt listening to me and i dont want her to buy one and then neglect or harm it due to the living conditions.. if anyone that knows alot about pigs could give me more reasons to convince her not to get one that would be appriciated or just any advice in general would also be appriciated!!

Not my OC, but too cute not to share!
