    How to get the pig depends upon which one you want. I am assuming you are playing as a Venomancer, based on your avatar. In that case, there's really no point in getting the "baby" piggy unless you just want to sell it, since baby pets really don't do anything except make you look rich if you are a class other than Venomancer. They look the same but can't battle, basically.

    Either way, you are going to have to obtain at least one Windwalking Piggy Egg. He happens to be "rare", so he only shows up once every twelve hours. I've never tried to tame one myself, but a lot of information can be found here. As for time, I guess the rare pets usually show up starting five hours after server maintenance, and then every twelve after that? I know this is the case for Frogling and Tabby Plumdrop, at least. And then it changes even more depending upon when he got captured or fainted, so, uh, it gets very complicated very quickly.
    You could buy an egg, but they tend to be a bit pricey, coin-wise. So I guess it's all about preference.

    Um. If you want the baby piggy, then you'd have to do the above until you get five of the aforementioned eggs. So, uh, yeah. D:

    Er, I didn't mean to discourage you, sorry. I kind of rambled and didn't answer your actual question. o__O
    The piggy you can tame looks exactly the same as the baby one, but it is a combat pet, so it can level up and learn skills. Baby pets look just like the non-babies (at least all of the ones in front of Mrs. Zoologist), but they are a lot harder to get, and they don't do anything.
    Also it seems that I greatly overestimated the difficulty in obtaining "rare pets", since I just tamed one of the more popular ones a few hours ago, and it really wasn't as difficult as people say. So yeah. Don't let crankyfaces like me discourage you. b:shy
