This is it. You are looking for that unique pet for your home and children. Maybe dogs and cats don’t turn you on or you are looking for something special. Maybe the idea of fleas and shedding hair is a turnoff. (Many consider pigs hypoallergenic) You heard about teacup pigs and you want to find out all you can about them. You have come to the right place. Let us help you in learning about the “Teacup Pig”.
First, let me explain that the term teacup pig is a marketing term used by breeders who will not actually fit in a teacup after a couple of weeks old. However, they are a lot smaller than a regular farm pig and are becoming quite popular as house pets. Imagine the size of a Cocker Spaniel if you measure their food and a Bulldog. If you don’t measure their food then you can get a bigger pig. You will see that I personally use the term teacup pig on my website. I do not do this to lie and say that a teacup pig will fit into a teacup, but to optimize the site for a word that gets over 90K searches a month. Miniature pigs are smart, clean, generally non-allergenic, odor-free, flea-free, charming, and inexpensive to feed. Miniature pigs are social, bonding easily with humans
They’ll readily roll over for a tummy rub, as well as snuggle with you. They don’t bark, prowl the streets or spread rabies. Compared with dog droppings, mild-smelling” pig berries” are a breeze to clean up. While pet pigs are highly trainable and can learn at a faster rate than dogs, teacup pig behavior is vastly different from dog behavior. As eager as a dog can be to please his master, a teacup pig’s respect, trust, and cooperation must be earned. If the teacup pig had it his way, you would be pleasing him. Pet pigs are unique animals and a pet of a different sort.
They are similar to many of the regular pets you find in a home and yet different. Like dogs, they can learn tricks, go for walks with a leash and harness and believe it or not, if a stranger comes to your house they will often bark at them. They are possessive of their family and occasionally may have to be put into another room when company comes because they don’t want others close to you. See the similarities to dogs? Pigs will use a litter box like a cat, ignore you when they are pouting just like a little child, and play with string or empty box such as a kitten would do.

Pigs are highly intelligent animals that can be trained just like a dog. In fact, their cognitive abilities are similar to those of a 3-year-old child. They are known for their problem-solving skills and ability to master complicated tricks, such as counting by honking a horn, sitting, spinning, and ringing a bell to go outside to use the bathroom. Pigs can also be trained to walk on a leash and harness, ride in a car, and respond to over 40 different commands. However, it is important to note that pigs are not for everyone and it is essential to check local zoning laws before deciding to get a pig as a pet, as they are not allowed in some areas. When it comes to their personality, pigs are very affectionate and will often sit with their owners on the couch or lay at their feet just like a dog. However, they can be slow-moving and will take their time checking out their surroundings, so be prepared for leisurely walks with your piggy.

Choosing a teacup pig for your family can be hard. It doesn’t help that small pigs are called all kinds of descriptive names like teacup pig, micro pig, and nano pig and you can even hear them called pocket pigs, but nothing there to tell you the actual size. Now, if you believe that you can carry a pig around in your pocket, then you also believe that a teacup pig is the size of a teacup Yorkie. They are not. Yes, they are a lot smaller than a regular hog and even a lot smaller than the original potbelly pig but they are not teacup Yorkie size. Each breeder you talk to will describe their own pigs by different names and unfortunately, there is not a standard among breeders to a set definition.
Micro pigs were first used in the biomedical research field because they were easier for the lab techs to handle and don’t eat as much.
My smallest is called Micro’s and I estimate 30-50 lbs when fed correctly. My teacup pigs for sale may be 40-60 lbs. A breeder in Texas, states his is 75 lbs, so you would need to know each breeder’s definition of their pigs. Be sure you ask the breeder you are talking to what they mean by their size.

I am tired of reading on some other breeders’ sites that you have to pay $3500.00 for a teacup pig and that anyone that sells you a piglet cheaper is scamming you and selling you a huge pig. I offer my piglets at what I feel is a fair price so that families can afford them not just the elite. Pig for sale. I would imagine since I have been breeding for quite a while (2005) and often keeping the special babies out of each litter that I have a lot more breeders than most farms. That allows me to have more volume and lower prices. When I started I invested over $50 K in quality stock so I am not a run-of-the-mill backyard breeder, plus I love my pigs, they are not little dollar signs running around to me. As an ethical breeder, I will always allow you to come and see our pigs and property and I will ALWAYS take our animals back should you not be able to keep them no matter what the circumstance!
Pigs and cats frequently become fast friends and bedmates. Dogs, however, are another story. We recommend that you separate your pig from your dogs whenever you will not be there to monitor their activities. While your small or even large dog may get along with your piggy, they must always be supervised. As tame as your dog may be, keep in mind that dogs are natural predators of pigs and can turn on pigs even years after living together. Don’t leave your pig and dog unattended. They love the company and the snuggling. Just like children, they can play too rough. Little dogs can tear a piglet’s ear or worse.
Pigs are very clean animals and the fourth smartest animal in the world. If you have a pen with several pigs in it they will all go to one location to go to the bathroom. Think a pen of dogs would do that? Not hardly. Teacup potbellied pigs and mini pigs are becoming more popular as the new household pet. Because are much smaller than the standard farm pig and even the original potbelly pig. Do they fit in a teacup? Of course not except when first born. But a regular pig can be 600-800 pounds or a full-grown potbelly pig at 120-200 pounds. So you can see when they weigh in at 30-65 lbs they seem like a teacup size, like comparing a teacup Yorkie to a Great Dane.
The teacup pigs are relatively low-maintenance pets, requiring similar care as a dog. However, they do not navigate long stairs well but short flights of stairs are doable, the Mini Juliana breed navigates stairs the best. Pigs should get some exercise whether you let them run back and forth through the house, take it on daily leash-led walks or let them play in the backyard or they will gain weight. If your piglet is getting too fat, you can switch it to the Mazuri elder mini pig food which has fewer calories, increase their veggies or cut back on their feed pellets. Pigs eat like pigs which means they will eat endless amounts of food if you let them. They particularly like high-carbohydrate unhealthy food, (so do I), so it is vital to restrict your pet’s access to the food it craves. They will constantly search for food like little Hoover vacuum cleaners searching the floor for crumbs or other pets’ food dishes. They absolutely love dog food which is like Miracle Grow fertilizer for them. I think I can actually watch my pig grow after it steals dog food. Mini Pig food can be purchased in pet stores or special-ordered. One of the most popular is Mazuri Mini Pig food. Pigs are omnivores, which means they like all kinds of food (Gosh, I must be part pig too). They are not picky eaters they would just as soon eat a green bean as they would some corn so feed your piglet the healthier choice of foods.
While in your house they will want your attention just like a two-year-old child would. Give them toys to play with or a rooting box to play in. This keeps them stimulated and active and will give you hours of amusement. You must pig proof your house just like you would child-proof your house for a 3 yr old. They are very intelligent and spend all their time trying to figure out how to get more food. Teacup potbellied pigs and micro pigs make good pets because they are loving and very intelligent. You might be surprised to learn that they are the fourth smartest animal in the world. However, like many animals (people included) they are prone to laziness and aggression if not properly exercised and socialized. Occasionally, an adult pig may challenge their owner because in a pig family there is always an Alpha pig and in your family, you are the Alpha Pig. But just like in a group one of the lesser pigs will challenge the Alpha pig so it can be boss. It is up to the alpha pig (you in your family) to put the lesser pig in its place. They will need to be reprimanded gently yet strongly and taught to respect the owner’s authority. They take well to positive reinforcement when they are behaving well, but should not be physically punished. They can be well trained if properly motivated by food and other rewards, and have been used many times in shows doing tricks like playing golf, riding a skateboard, sitting on command, and many other tricks.
Looking for a new pet? — think about getting a pig. Known for their devotion and happy silly pig dances, pigs can take a big bite out of isolation. Just hanging out with a porker friend can have a revitalizing effect. Some benefits of pig ownership.

Please take a yardstick and place it on the floor by your leg. Then look where the estimated height of the piglet is on the yardstick. This is the estimated height of these piglets at maturity. Their weight if healthy and lean should be around 35-55 lbs. depending on the inches estimated. Pigs are very dense balls of muscle similar to a bag of sugar. Not bulky like bag of dog food. If you overfeed or feed a poor choice of diet just like our children they will become obese. You can have a pig the size of a cocker spaniel, or the size of a bulldog this depends on you.
