Sorry  Trebor.


  You can treat a pot belly just like any other pig.  Dont overfeed, keep 2 unless its indoors as a pet.  Although if you do keep your pot belly indoors the following link might be very helpful. 


http://www.lacef.fr/postbox-contents/contents.html             scroll down to second article Buying your Pig

Otherwise  "Keeping Pigs" by Andy Case a cheap book which has become invaluable to us.  I think he even has a section about feeding potbellies.  Mine has been borrowed so cant check at present.

Hope this helps.

Best of luck though,  :)
