Pig Info and Care:
Advantages: Long Life Span (10-18yrs), Clean and Odor Free, Non-allergenic in most cases, no fleas, no shedding, easy to train, no barking, low maintenance, affectionate, clean, highly intelligent (4th smartest animal in world)- can be trained for litterbox, tricks, harness and more!
Disadvantages: You may not be zoned to own a pig, check with the city if you are in city limits, finding a vet who treats mini pigs can be hard-be sure to have the name of one on hand, Pigs can become spoiled and manipulative, they require a commitment of time and energy, they can become aggressive if they get away with bad behaviors and need to be reinforced, aggressive behavior cannot be tolerated as well as any biting

Size full grown: The babies from Pigglesworth should mature somewhere around 25-45lbs full grown and 11-14" tall, so a cocker spaniel or bulldog size and the ones from Jazmine should be 25-55lbs and 12-16" tall. These are micro mini pigs, normal potbelly pigs are 80-150lbs or more. This is a very manageable size to be an inside house pet and part of the family.
Diet: It is easy for a pig to get fat, they are pigs! Especially a pig of this size that remains very small. A baby pig up to 4 months old should be getting 1-1.5 cups of feed divided into 2 feedings a day. As an adult, they only need 1/2 cup per 25lbs divided in 2 feedings. This amount is a guideline and should be adjusted based on your pigs body condition. If your pig is developing rolls around the face and you have a hard time feeling the hip bones, your pig is getting obese and should be fed less. On the other hand if your pig feels skinny then it needs more feed. The feed I recommend and use is Mazuri Mini pig feed YOUTH for babies under 4 months old and Mazuri Mini Pig Active Adult for over 4 months that is at most feed stores in the US, please get this before your pig goes home in case your store needs to order it for you. Another website for great pig food is www.healthypigs.com which has an amazing selection of skin/hair products, shampoos, vitamins, harnesses and more.
As well as having pig food daily, they also need to be supplemented with some fresh vegetables that should be about 25% of their diet. Things such as cucumbers, celery, peppers, carrots, potatoes, broccoli, cabbage, frozen peas, eggplant, squash and green beans are good choices (but try to limit starchy veggies like potatoes). Some fruits like peaches, apples, pears and plums can be fed as well but in moderation due to the high sugar content. Most pigs love treats like apples, grapes and raisins but these are good to be used as treats and reserved for training purposes. Do not feed your pig dog and cat food, it is much too high in protein for them. Also do not feed them chocolate or salty things. They love plain air popped popcorn as a treat, just no salt and also raw unsalted peanuts are a good training treat as well as frozen peas.
Extra fiber can be added to their diet by providing them with alfalfa hay and bran. I feed mine orchard grass hay daily and they love it but it is messy in the house so as a snack outside maybe..;)
I also feed my pigs one children's chewable vitamin daily which is great for them and their skin.
Pigs should be allowed the opportunity to root in soil and graze on grass (not treated with chemicals). Even if it is a 10x10 area fenced in your yard just for the pig to dig up, they will love it!
Make sure your pig always has fresh water available. They love their water and I often have two bowls for mine since they go through it so fast.
Do not feed your pig directly from the fridge or your pig may quickly become an expert at opening the fridge..:)
Do not give into begging or your pig is likely to become a pest and beg constantly.
Care: They are pretty easy to care for but need some maintenance. They should be bathed every so often to clean their skin. You can do this in a kid pool in the summertime or in a tub in the winter. You must feed them the whole bath as they do not like them much..;) you can use dog or baby shampoo on them. If they have dry skin you can put human alpha hydroxy non scented lotion on them or baby oil.
On a hot summer day put a kiddie pool out for them with a step to help them in until full grown. Fill the pool half way or so, they will roll and play in it to cool off...:)
The worming medicine helps with the dry skin very well so be sure to worm your pig every 3-4 months with liquid ivermectin wormer for pigs and cows. If your pig is ever itching like crazy on everything then it needs to be wormed. Ask your vet if they can do it or I can tell you what to order for them, it is very easy to give to them orally.
Their ears may become crusty and this is somewhat normal as their skin by their ears and neck does get flakey. You can clean them with a washcloth and lightly scrub them if they allow. Q-tips can be used but please be very careful with them. It wouldn't hurt to use ear cleaner on them every now and then, I like the epi otic cleaner for dogs. Don't squirt it down in their ear, just put it on cotton swabs and gently rub their ears. I try to do this when they are eating so they don't get upset..:)
Their hooves do not grow too fast but they may need to be trimmed twice a yr or so. Just check to make sure they are not getting too long on the edges and if they need trimming use some sharp garden shears to trim the hoof edges, there is info online about this as well.
Make sure your pig has enough exercise. They should be able to run daily either in a large room inside or out in the yard. They need to burn off energy. You can also play with them to get them exercise or have them learn tricks to keep their mind occupied.
Vet Care: Should see a qualified potbelly pig vet once a yr for a general exam and fecal test to make sure they are healthy. If you want a list of potbelly vets in the area, e-mail me. They can get a yearly shot, but just ask the vet what they recommend.
NEVER Ever Hit your pig for any reason, they will never forget and may never trust you again, you must train them to stop the bad behavior, hurting them does nothing, they are very sensitive animals. You may tap their nose firmly and say no though-effective
This is a good website on care and has videos on training them click HERE
Bedding: Pigs love to sleep! And nothing is better to them than a nice clean bed. Mine love soft fleece blankets. Sleeping bags are ok if opened but they can get stuck in them if left closed. They love to burrow under the blankets and sleep. Be sure to wash your pigs bed every week or so, your pig will love it!
Litterbox bedding- use white shavings or wood pellets for their litterbox, do not use cat litter as they will eat it. You will need to scoop their box daily and be sure to get a litterbox that is low enough in the front for a pig. A lot of people use a rubbermaid plastic bin that they cut one side out low so they can step in.
Recommended Reading: If you want to know what to expect with your new pig, house train and how to understand them, you must get "Potbellied Pig Behavior and Training" By Priscilla Valentine. I would order this well before your pig arrives, it is really a must have for a new pig owner. I also recommend getting some general potbelly pig care books. The mini's care is the same as a bigger potbelly except the food amounts.
