Many people who come to us on open days and to view the micro pigs ask us whether they are expensive to keep and the answer is no. An adult micro pigs main diet is of specialist pig nuts will cost around £3 per week. Additional weekly costs may include treats such as apples, carrots, cheerios, bite sized shredded wheat and a large bag of barley straw if you choose to use this as bedding.
You can choose to feed them other nutritious treats and meals but this is what we would usually advise on feeding your pet micro pig.

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
