Do you think it could handle a pig and if not any suggestions?

It is heavy duty. but it depend on the pig size. It handles two 5lb chickens

I think the maximum it would handle would be around 30lbs or so although I tested it with about 20 lbs very comfortably. There are motors available that are certified for 100 lbs and I think that will be more suitable

I think 40 lbs is about the limit. We did av17 lb turkey for Thankgiving and it worked great

The rod seems strong enough but I doubt this motor would do it. Maybe a suckling pig.

In my opinion it could jump start a dead cow back to life. Hasn't failed me yet.

Yes, IHave a potbellied pig and it's great. Keeps him inside when i need him contained, but he isn't alone. Easily moved from inside to out. We take it with us when we go camping, out in the yard, and we use it at night to keep him in, rather than a kennel, and clean up is a snap, if there is an accident. I would purchase this again. I have been using mine for 8 months. Piggy uses a litterbox at night, so this is going to be a permenant fixture here. Color hold up graet, too.

I guess if you beat it over the head with the airgun you might. I don't think it is powerful enough to kill anything larger than a rabbit (maybe) or a squirell. I guess you could shoot its eye out and then run over it.

It will be a tight fit. We caught a pretty good sized ground hog (for relocation) and it was packed in the cage and when we opened it to let it out it had a hard time.

I have 2 guinea pigs and they have tons of space, I'd say it could hold 3 smaller-medium or 2 larger pigs comfortably.

Might be a little tight but I think it would work. I fixed a ham in mine that weighed 9 lbs.

Greg, sorry for the delay. On this paticular model, I'm not sure how well it would handle a chicken. None the less, even with perfect heating elements, given the size of the inside of the over it would have to be a small chicken due to height restrictions.

It is heavy, so if he/she would be able to handle it yes. Otherwise it might be overkill.

Absolutely, yes. We use it for dog food and it works and carries around beautifully. Just make sure the side locks are properly snapped into place and you're good to go.

Its not flat on the inside. also I don't think a plastic wagon is probably a good play spot for a pig

Honestly, I would not use it for a guinea pig. It's a big cage, so I get why you would want to, but this cage is not meant for modifications. I love the cage, but I have found it pretty difficult to make minor modifications for my bunny.

not sure, the top metal part might be too hard for their feet. personally, my piggies prefer sitting in the carefresh.

Pretty sure it will be fine. It's at least a foot wide with an even taller swing plate. A horse could get food from this thing.

I would say yes it would be nice to have around. I used it to make sausages and move things around. The hydraulic lift is fantastic, you do not have to bend over to do work and it's even possible to line it with a chair. Excellent quality!!

Do not use for pigs because they will rip the rubber "snouts" off both feed ports the very first night and feed will begin to soak up moisture and come out faster than it was designed to. No more than a couple hogs can eat at a time which leads to feeder getting knocked around hard and more feed than you want gets knocked out, 100# a night easy. Both problems can be solved easily but who wants to buy something and start working on It! Would be great deer feeder though or stake down with better stakes and restrict feed port output somehow and I'm sure it would work ok.

For small guinea pigs I think it would be fine and it does not have a bottom, so I had to buy some wire to put under it.
