Do pigs need exercise?
Exercise is important as pigs tend to overeat and easily gain weight. They have been bred to be quite lazy if given the chance. A house pig will need to be walked daily. Daily grazing gives them a chance to move around and get plenty of roughage at the same time. It is easy to train them to wear a harness and walk on a leash. Even though just the action of standing and grazing is better than sleeping all day, outside pigs should be encouraged to wander around or taken on walks.
