If you are looking for a pet that is smart, playful, and clean, a mini pig just might be a good choice. It may surprise you that pigs are clean, but it is true. With some room to roam and dig, mini pigs make great pets.
Pigs, along with chimpanzees and elephants, are some of the smartest . Because of this, you can train mini pigs to do all kinds of things. You can teach them to use a litter box, take walks on a leash, and do tricks.
Mini pigs form lifelong bonds with their owners. Many even like to cuddle. Pigs may be nervous when they first come home with you. With proper training and lots of attention, they can quickly become part of the family.
Mini pigs belong to one of 16 of pigs. Other species include wild boar, warthogs, and farm pigs.
Mini pigs are about one-tenth the size of a farm pig.
Mini pigs are not as small as you might think. They are little when they are born but do not stay that way. This animal weighs 50 to 150 pounds (23 to 68 kilograms) when fully-grown. It may be 14 to 20 inches (36 to 51 centimeters) tall. Mini pigs are fully grown by 5 years of age. They usually live 15 to 20 years.
A baby pig is called a piglet.
Sometimes pet mini pigs grow much larger than their owners expect. The pigs become too big to handle. Unfortunately, some breeders let buyers think that this pet will stay tiny. The owners then take their pigs to animal shelters. More than 50 pig adoption and rescue centers are located in the United States and Canada. These centers have become overcrowded with mini pigs given up for adoption.
Mini pigs come in a variety of colors. They can be different shades of black, brown, pink, and white. Some are speckled or spotted. Mini pigs look fuzzy, but stiff hair, not fur, covers their bodies. The hair often changes color as they age. Mini pigs have four toes on each foot. The middle toes form a hoof. Mini pigs have small ears and a long snout.
Pigs have about 15,000 taste buds. Humans only have about 10,000.
Mini pigs have a strong sense of smell. They use their snouts to sniff out food. Mini pigs have a natural need to dig. This is called a rooting instinct. Mini pigs root for different reasons. These include looking for food, communicating, or soothing themselves. Pet pigs need a place to root, such as a patch of dirt or a pile of blankets. If they are not allowed to root, they may destroy carpets or gardens.
Mini pigs are social. They like being around people and other pigs. Mini pigs are noisy animals that communicate with grunts, oinks, and squeals. They make these sounds especially when they are hungry, happy, or angry.
Pigs are loud. Their squeals can reach 115 or higher. That is about as loud as a police car siren or a leaf blower.
Over time you will get to know what your mini pigs sounds mean.
Pigs are are different from farm pigs. Farm pigs are much larger. They can weigh up to 1,000 pounds (450 kg). They have longer snouts and bigger ears than mini pigs. Mini pigs have shorter legs and narrower bodies than farm pigs.
Several celebrities made the pet mini pig a big hit. Singer Miley Cyrus, soccer player David Beckham, and actor George Clooney have all owned pigs. Clooneys pet pig, Max, lived for 18 years.
Mini pigs include a variety of pig breeds that have been developed to be smaller in size. This is why mini pigs come in so many different colors.
People began breeding small pigs in the 1960s. The Vietnamese potbelly pig is one of the first small pig breeds. Todays mini pigs are a mix of many different breeds. These include the Vietnamese potbelly, the Kunekune pig from New Zealand, and the Gttingen pig from Europe. Mini pigs first arrived in the United States in the 1980s, mainly for use in zoos. There, people fell in love with them and wanted them as pets. The mini pig trend caught on. Mini pigs are now popular pets in North America, South America, and Europe.
Caring for a pet is a big responsibility, especially a pet that can grow to the size of a large dog. Mini pigs need daily attention. Talk to your parents about owning a pet pig. Answer these questions to help decide if a mini pig is right for you and your family:
- Do you have the time to care for a mini pig, including feeding, cleaning, and playing with it?
- Who will take care of the mini pig, feeding it every day and cleaning up after it? You or your parents or siblings? Or will you all share in the responsibility?
