I want a pet pig but my favorite thing in the world to eat is anything from pigs.

I want a mini piglet now. IDK if pigs are legal in AZ

micro/mini/teacup pigs do not stay little forever! they can grow to the size of a labrador. that's the main reason why there are so many abandoned pigs because they aren't tiny and cute anymore. they grow to around 100 pounds. research!!

i have a question about pigs how long can they stay at home in the house by themselves?

I get it you feel bad for eating meat

my little sister LOVES pigs but she still eats bacon. She is a bad vegan!

Awwww it's bebe & the fat ones will make good bacon and ham

I really want bacon

If my dad got a pig he would call it breakfast because that's what it would be

i hate pigs

Will they cuddle?

Yeah, pretty crappy scam if you ask me. Advertising that a creature that is healthy at 100 pounds to only grow to weigh 35. It's crappy for the owners to not do research, but it's also crappy for breeders to take advantage of the customers and the pigs like that.

pet police officers?

I have a VERY big garden, and I'm thinking of getting a pot bellied pig, but I wonder can I still train a pig even though there very large?

There is no such thing as a micro/teacup animal. Animals are small when they're born, but they grow; especially pigs. I know from experience as three or so years ago we bought was was supposed to be a teacup pig. She turned out to be a potbelly. People with no experience with pigs aren't aware that the pictures of supposed micro pigs are just newborn piglets who often still have their umbilical cord. If you're looking to own a pet pig, know that these animals take lots of time, training and money; not to mention they're among the five smartest animals and can easily grow aggressive and destructive if you're novice. Pigs take alot of work, but grow to be very affectionate if cared for correctly. Make sure you truly want a pig as they bond with their owners and constant re-homing will only depress them.

I can't believe there are people in the comments that can't handle others being different, either there are the stupid type of vegans calling as us meat lovers monsters, or it's the stupid type of meat lovers who can't handle that other people don't eat meat, can't you all just fucking grow up and realize that everyone is different?? I eat meat, you don't, great! Let us all get along and learn from our differences instead. I love pigs as animals but I also need the meat, it's just how predators do, and if you choose to not eat them, that's awesome dude, just don't call me a monster, cause I do not support animal cruelty just because I eat meat.

Cute, but I like bacon, so.... I'm pretty conflicted.

I had one raised by a bulldog. He kept trying to bark - no joke! 😂

pet and food .. nice !

There isn't such a thing as a 'forever teacup' pig. Sure pigs can fit in teacups when they are piglets, but there is simply no such thing as a pig staying 35-40 pounds. Unless you give your pig a literal starvation diet. So, for all of you people looking to buy a pig, please consider their size.
