Becoming the owner of a teacup potbelly piglet requires a commitment to gain the animal's trust, which can be done with a little patience, by offering food rewards for good behavior, along with scratching and petting. Belly rubs go a long way in bonding with a pig. These piglets will grow to an average of between 30-45 pounds with proper feeding and care, a fraction of the size of the larger traditional Potbelly Pig. Mature Teacup Potbelly Pigs are 12-14” from hoof to shoulder, about the height of a stout medium size dog.
Prices for piglets start at $300 and are based on size and color. Shipping is extra and available within the continental U.S. via Delta Air Cargo. The cost to ship a piglet is $360 and includes airfare, taxes, kennel, veterinary services (health certificate, laboratory tests, identifying tattoo) & state importation permit.
These gentle, intelligent animals are excellent indoor or outdoor family pets. Since they are by nature a clean animal, litter box training a piglet is easily done in about a week's time or they can be trained to use a pet door to go outside on their own. Is a Miniature Pig the right pet for you? To find out, check out the Advantanges and Disadvantages listed below.
This Little Pink/White Baby Boyl Above and the Black/Tan Baby Boy Below are from the April Litter and are available to reserve.
