Meet Gertrude, the mini pig that likes to be fed like a baby.

The footage, captured at a home in Vancouver, shows Gertrude being fed some butternut squash with a spoon.

The filmer writes: ''Gertrude wanted a little extra attention and I could tell that spending time with her and feeding her would be just the thing she needed.

''I remembered I had steamed some butternut squash for dinner the night before so I ran to the fridge and grabbed the container of squash, grabbed a spoon and sat back down with Gertrude.

''She immediately knew what to do and took one bite at a time and she loved it.''

The clip was filmed on March 26.

This is Gertrude, my mini potbelly pig. We call her Gerdie for short.
This video was filmed on March 26, 2018 in the afternoon.
We were at home in our living room.
My husband and I are preparing to adopt a newborn baby so we’re also getting Gerdie ready by training her and working on her behaviour. We even got a professional trainer. She has been doing so well and is very obedient and friendly! On this particular day Gerdie was wanting a little extra attention and I could tell that spending time with her and feeding her would be just the thing she needed. (I am a therapist and I do a lot of behaviour & emotion coaching with my clients, so I can easily recognize the signs of someone needing validation when I see them.) I got her to do some tricks and praised her for it. I then asked her to sit. I remembered I had steamed some butternut squash for dinner the night before so I ran to the fridge and grabbed the container of squash, grabbed a spoon and sat back down with Gerdie. She immediately knew what to do and took one bite at a time. She loved it! She often communicates with me by nodding to tell me she’s ready for some more food or water, so you’ll see us, in this video, nodding at each other.
She’s a very sweet piggie and we love her so much. She is definitely ready and well behaved for our newborn baby to come home.
