Pet ‘micro’ pigs have been selectively bred over many generations to produce a pet pig that is much smaller than a typical sized farm pig. Vietnamese potbelled pigs that grow to be 150-200 pounds were sent to zoos in western nations in the 1960′s and were later selectively bred for smaller scientific research. In the 1980s miniature pigs, generally weighing less than 150 pounds, were introduced into America as pets and have been bred down in size ever since. Nowadays pet pigs are even smaller.
Micro pigs are a great addition to the family costing anything from £299 to £800 they are very cost effective and a low maintenance pet to look after.

I am intelligent, very affectionate and will reward loving owners with many years of companionship. Depending on my generation I will be 14’’ – 20’’ high when I am fully grown. I will always remain tiny compared to a farm pig and be smaller than any other pigs you are likely to meet. I am happiest being the only piggy of the family but do not like being alone. I really enjoy time indoors with my owners and will not leave fur or hair on carpets and furniture, many people with allergies think I make the perfect pet. I am a pet pig and I need my own space, outdoor space where I am free to root and be myself. I will be lonely and bored without your company so if you cannot be with me, please let me have a piggy friend to play with. I do not smell and I am extremely clean. I can be litter trained quickly and will learn more tricks than dogs and cats because I am smarter. I can be taken for walks but feel equally content staying at home. I am cheap to feed and will live over 10 years if you look after me. I like being fit and healthy and do not want to be fat.
I am a pet micro pig
Oink, oink
