I miss the neighborhood piggy

There used to be a piggy at the bottom of the neighborhood outside my treehouse.  I fed him lots of vegetables to recover seeds.  Then one day he was gone.

Did I kill him by overfeeding him?  Did he get old and die?  Was he pig-napped?

I've taken to cruising the other blocks in my neighborhood to find piggies who can convert my crops to seeds, but the piggies never seem to stay in one place very long.   I found one piggy up in a tree outside some dude's house.  Can pigs climb ladders?

  • I'm guessing he was pig-napped. :(

  • Piggies can die of starvation, or be pig-napped.

    If you want another piggy in your favorite spot and you don't have the skills to hatch or hogtie one yourself, you can get a piglet or hogtied piggy at auction, and release the hogtied piggy or feed the piglet some crops while you're standing in your favorite spot.  (Using a piglet will actually increase the population of piggies in the world, a hogtied piggy ultimately came from somewhere else although that somewhere else might be the seller's yard.)  But someone might move it, and if it can't reach a tasty tree (I know that egg, spice, fruit, bean trees work, I'm not sure about bubble or gas, and wood doesn't), you'll need to feed it regularly. 

    Piggies don't climb; some players like to rear or release piggies in unlikely locations.

  • I think I might join the quest to repopulate (repiggulate?) Ur. Well, at least in Salatu

  • Hmm, it could be the lack of access to a tree that caused him to disappear, although pignapping seems just as plausible.

    Someone was nice enough to mail me a piglet, but I want to make sure it survives.  I don't have the RHK skill needed for a piggy feeder.  How long can he survive at my house between feedings?  12 hours? 72 hours?  The wiki is not specific.

    I could release him onto the street so he could be fed by others, but I'd like to know a little more about their feeding schedule.  I'd rather carry around a piglet until i learn RHK than release this onto the street and have him die because he went 18 hours without a nosh.

  • I don't have RHK yet, so instead I just throw massive amounts of crops on the floor for my piggies. It lasts them quite a few real-days and they're happily fed. :)

  • I'd be happy to give you a piglet (or even a few) of your very own if you want one :)  I haven't actually managed to sell anything yet, but I'm having a great time giving things away!  Just pop me a mail in game or prod me however's easiest.
