Little Boy's Snuggle Session with Pet Piglets Is Giving Major FOMO
Life with pigs is just as much fun as you'd think it would be. Or so we're led to believe by an adorable video from Tiffany Hudson, which showed her son having the most adorable cuddle with their three baby pigs.
Hudson heard her son calling her from the couch and got the cutest surprise when she went over to see what he needed.
In the clip, the little one was lying on their couch with a gray blanket thrown on top of him when he asked his mom to come over.
"Mom help me with these pigs," he said in the footage. Pigs? We don't see any pigs.

"Show me," his mama instructed.
That's when the boy whipped the blanket back to reveal that not one but three piglets that were lying on top of him under the blanket. Surprise!
It's a baby holding three other babies. Honestly, we can't even imagine there being anything wrong with the situation — and people in the comments section had to agree. "The way they were laying there all lined up, too cute," wrote one person. "At first I thought he meant his toes not actual pigs," a second person joked. "Not me thinking he was talking about his siblings," kidded another commenter. "Pigs in a blanket," one woman teased.
Do Pigs Make Good Indoor Pets?
Pigs are smart, inquisitive, and social animals — it makes sense that humans would want to keep them as pets. But it should be noted that pigs aren't like cats or dogs. They have different needs.
Even those teeny tiny mini pigs have special needs that might not be able to be met in a house. In general, pigs do best in an outdoor area where they have plenty of space to roam.
Outside is where a pig's natural curiosity can flourish. They'll have plenty of room to explore. Pigs love to root (aka, dig around with their noses), which is best done outside. If not, they can become destructive. Getting your pig some good toys can also help express that instinct.
Temperature regulation is another reason why it's best to keep pigs outdoors. In the summer pigs need a wallow (or a muddy area) and shelter from the hot sun. In cooler times, pigs need warm, straw bedding and to be kept in an environment that's draft-free.
If you are going to keep you pig outdoors, make sure you build a strong fence to keep predators away. You'll want to keep them safe! Caring for pigs takes a lot of effort, but any pig owner would tell you that it's so worth it.
