Facts about Mini Pigs
* "Micro mini","micro", "pocket pigs", "tea-cup" or whatever other imaginary term used to sell mini pigs, you guessed it ,fake news!!! sorry folks but those pigs live in the land of nod where the gnomes and trolls who ride their unicorns that toot rainbows live. they don't exist! Mini pig basically means that over time pigs have been bred down to the size we now know as a mini. which also means a pig that stays under ........300 lbs. so with that being said that is why finding a good honest breeder comes into play. we do not guaruntee that our pigs will stay super small b/c that is impossible, what i can guarantee is that mother and father hammie will be on site and are of appropriate age so that way you have a better understanding of your hammies future size.
*no one can ever EVER guatanee that your pig will stay 20-30 lbs. pigs are dense animals and can look small but weigh a lot. When people ask me how big they will get, the dog groomer in me comes out and i describe them as an english bull dog.
*mini pigs are smart! and when i say smart i mean they will get into whatever you leave out and do it before you can blink an eye. it is wise to give them a space of their own while you are away and not give them full roam of the house.
​
* you can train your pig just like a dog. it is a proven fact pigs are one of the smartest animals in the world. Our hammies are started on a training program at a young age that you are more than welcome to continue after purchase with our amazing trainer!
​
*yes you can potty train your pig, pigs are creatures of habbit and are very easy to train, you can do litterbox training or outside potty time.
​
*pigs can live anwhere up to 15-20 years
​
*pigs love to eat......anything......all of our pigs eat Mazuri pig food along with grazing time everyday and fruits and veggies. you can overfeed your pig and they will always act like they are starving but they are fine. just like us a healthy diet is the way to go
​
*pigs are very affectionate animals and get attached very easily. be kind to your hammie b/c he loves you
​
*Never leave dogs and pigs unattended. we have 3 crazy dogs and our pigs are raised with them but there are times when one gets annoyed with the other so never leave them alone together
​
*Yes you can walk your pig on a leash, if started early just like dogs you can walk them
​
*every pig is different! like people all pigs have different personalities, some are lazy and just want to cuddle and others want to party all the time!
​
*Male pigs have tusks. these need to be trimmed once they come in, you can get this done by a vet
​
*Keep pigs away from dog food. if you have a dog at home, please keep the food out of hammies reach, for some reason they are drawn to it but the salt content in dog food is very harmful to your hammie
