i have had two both were female. the males rut alot but it don't matter either way. you can keep in the house or out side. you can litter train them like a cat. i fed mine pig food from tractor supply and veggies just not lettuce but anything else is fine they love tomatoes and potatoes. my last was in the house and she would steal the potatoes. if you keep them out side makes sure you lots of hay for the winter and plenty of water they drink while they are eating. in the summer time mine had a small kiddy pool

we have them at our zoo you mean pot belly's correct?

A pellet food called mazuri is good here is a link
shop.mazuri.com/mazuriminipigyouth.aspx

Also you can feed a variety of fresh vegetables to make up about 25% of the pig's diet.Celery, cucumbers, peppers, carrots, potatoes and some greens are good choices (but try to limit the starchy vegetables like potatoes). Some fruits can be feed as well but only in moderation due to the high sugar content. Most pigs love treats like apples, grapes and raisins, but these are good to reserve as treats to be used in training. They train pretty easy haha they are actually pretty smart :P
some extra fiber can be provided by feeding hay we use Alfalfa.

Also here is a link that has a little more info i just googled that but the rest is from working at the zoo hehe im in a bit of a rush but goodluck!!
