What's time to a pig?

Hola, yo aprendo español y necesito ayudar por favor.

In Spanish how would one say :

"What's time to a pig?"

¿Cuál es el tiempo para un cerdo?

O

¿Qué es el tiempo para un cerdo?

O

¿Qué es el tiempo a un cerdo?

Muchas gracias ????

In Spanish, you could say something like, A un cerdo, qué le importa la hora del día?

I'm glad I don't have to answer the philosophical question.

And although I agree with Poli that there might be other ways to be interested in what the pig thinks, here are explanations for your three alternatives.

¿Cuál es el tiempo para un cerdo? If you ask this, the answer needs to specify the time for the pig.

O

¿Qué es el tiempo para un cerdo?

O

¿Qué es el tiempo a un cerdo? This is grammatically incorrect.

Muchas gracias ????

Out of your proposals, I have indicated the best one.

In addition to poli's excellent suggestion, I would like to add that the indirect object («a un cerdo») may immediately follow the verb or it can be placed at the end of the sentence. In context, you may also use «el tiempo», instead of «la hora».
