Mini pigs make great companion animals! They are clean, almost odor-free, litter box trained, like to play, love belly rubs & affection, can be leash trained, are extremely smart, and love people and most other animals!
Our goal is to share the love of these amazing, sentient beings.. and break the stereotype that they are simply dirty farm animals
Mini Pigs As Pets
Having a pig as part of your family is beyond rewarding. The personality and love they bring are priceless. They strive for approval and constantly want to be loved. Pigs are one of the top most intelligent animals, right under dolphins and above dogs. They get along great with children and most other pets. You do however need to introduce everyone slowly and with supervision. Additionally, we must advise to never leave a potentially aggressive dog home alone with your pig.
Pigs are extremely clean and prefer neat and scheduled order to their life. They are easily litter box trained and love to sleep in fluffy dog beds in the house with you! Additionally, you can harness train them to go places or on walks with you! They are so unique and special for so many reasons. With proper care, a pig can live 12-15 years! Pigs are social animals, so if you work a 9-5 and have no other animals to keep your pig company, or if you live in an apartment where there isn't an attached, enclosed yard, a pig is most likely not a good pet for your living situation. Pigs like to be around their owners and or other animals for companionship and need space to be a pig freely off leash.
​
Purchasing a mini pig is a commitment, not something you want to gift to someone as a surprise. It takes preparation and research before jumping in to owning a pig. See our Prepping for your piglet page to get an idea of what you will need for a pet mini pig. Understand your pig can live possibly 15 years or more.

Mini pigs when fully grown (around age 3) are comparable in size to an English Bulldog
​
Mini pigs do exist and are bred to be smaller versions of the typical 700-1000 pound farm hog. Often called "teacup" or "micro" pigs, these terms are just marketing terms some breeders use to trick customers into thinking they stay smaller. However this is false information. All mini pigs grow to a similar size, usually comparable to a medium to large dog, Beware of breeders who promise pigs that stay tiny; (under 50lbs) this is misleading and can lead to severe health issues for the animal.
​
Mini pigs have been selectively bred since the 1940s to reduce size, focusing on traits like personality, color, and conformation. Unlike purebred Vietnamese Potbellied Pigs, American mini pigs are mixed breeds with distinct builds, typically standing 12-18 inches tall and 20-25 inches long. Weight varies based on genetics, bone structure, and diet, but they are generally very dense and can weigh more than they appear.
Healthy mini pigs should have a proportionate and streamlined body. Overfeeding can be just as harmful as underfeeding, potentially leading to early death and organ failure. While sizes do vary, just like in humans, some healthy adult mini pigs may mature at around 70-100 pounds by 3-5 years old.
We don't say we have the "Premier pet mini pigs" lightly!
1. We put the needs and health of our pigs first! This is why we do not keep our pigs in cages, they have land to roam freely. Sadly this is NOT the case for a lot of breeders farms I have personally been to. (you'd be shocked and surprised).
*Additionally, we are HUGE believers in the detrimental effects of non-organic and GMO feed. Corn and soy are the main ingredients in most feeds for pigs. We invest double the cost (per bag of feed) so our pigs and piglets get 100% organic, non-GMO pig feed! This ensures you are getting QUALITY in your investment for your future family pet. There can be hidden, underline health issues that pigs on non-organic feed suffer with. This won't show itself for months, or years maybe, but it will be to the detriment of your loving pet.
2. Our farm is our priority. We don't just breed mini pigs on the side with limited time to dedicate to these amazing creatures… we dedicate everything we have into making them an amazing pet for you!
3. Our piglets are weaned from momma slowly.. and at the right age. Some breeders will sell piglets at far too young of an age who didn't get adequate time with Mom, or all the nutrients a piglet needs from Mom. These breeders are selling piglets that they call "Bottle Babies" claiming you build a deeper bond with the animal because you nurse them from a bottle. This is not only absurd and unhealthy.. but a ploy to get your money!
4. After piglets are weaned & taught how to be a pig from Mom, we spend countless hours socializing them with us, children, other animal species.. as well as an introduction to potty training. Your piglet will leave here exposed to everyday life things. We want our piglets to experience all the things he or she may encounter with you, so that when you get your piglet.. it's an easy transition and you are bringing home a well-rounded pet.
5. We have small mini pig breeding lines. Our mini pigs range in age, but it's clear to see our older pigs are small pigs. We welcome anyone serious about getting a piglet out to our farm. To meet our pigs, to see sizes, and to see how well they are taken care of they are.
6. Want to feel confident in your choice to get a pig from us? Just read our yelp reviews!! Previous customers have been kind enough to leave really positive feedback about their experiences with us.
7. We care deeply about our pigs and want you to have a great experience. Once you adopt a piggy, we are always here to help in any way we can and answer any questions you have about your pet pig. We offer lifetime support for your new piggy!
Steps to adding a pet mini pig to your home
It is imperative to check with city government regulations before bringing a pig into your home as a pet, as they are considered to be livestock according to the USDA. Many cities do not allow pet pigs inside the city limits. So people who ignore these rules usually are forced to get rid of their beloved pet at some point. It's devastating for the owner, and even more so for the pig who will most likely end up in a shelter. It's simply not fair. So be SURE you are zoned before you inquire about getting a pig.
Contact your local city office or look on their websites for animal ordinances keeping in mind that a pet pig will most likely fall under their livestock regulations. www.municode.com
