Teacup Pigs

Teacup pigs, also known as miniature pot-bellied or micro pigs, are a more sensible option for people who want a pet pig because they are considerably smaller and require much less attention than normal-sized pigs. Teacup pigs give pet owners a very intelligent and affectionate pet that can provide years of enjoyment if taken care of properly. Like a young child, teacup pigs require attention and toys to keep them active.

If you are interested in purchasing a teacup pig, you need to make sure you know as much about them as possible. Contact your local Austin Veterinarian Clinic today and speak with a professional.

Advantages of Owning a Teacup Pig

Before purchasing a teacup pig, you should make sure you have the time to take care of it, as well as a veterinarian who will treat pigs. If you live in an apartment complex or community, you should also make sure you are allowed to keep a pig. There are many advantages to owning a teacup pig, including:

• Long lifespan (Average 12-20 years)
• They do not cause allergies
• No fleas or barking, which you may have to deal with if you have a dog
• Typically clean and odor free if taken care of
• Very intelligent pets

Teacup pigs are typically 14.5 inches and 35-40 pounds when fully grown and require daily leash walks to get the exercise they need.
