How much do our teacup pigs cost? Typical Range: $1,500-3,000

The cost of our teacup piglets varies based on factors such as color, age, and expected size (whether it's micro or Super Micro). The term "teacup" can be a bit misleading; these little companions can range in size from 15 pounds to 40 pounds. While some grown adults may end up weighing only 8-15 pounds, such cases are extremely rare and unpredictable. It's crucial to note that unneutered or unspayed piglets tend to grow larger, so we highly recommend having your piglet spayed or neutered. Breeder teacup pigs also have the tendency to grow larger. Additionally, certain colors, like pink, are more desired and may cost more. Juliana and Chocolate are also highly sought-after colors.

Size is a significant factor to consider when selecting a teacup piglet. Many competitors advertise piglets for $800-1,500, using pictures of piglets just a few days old. Not only is it unhealthy for piglets to be separated from their mothers at such a young age, but it's also unethical for breeders to misrepresent their piglets this way. Be cautious of breeders attempting to predict a piglet's adult size based on its few days of life; this is merely a sales tactic. True teacup piglets won't be mature enough to be safely weaned and rehomed until they are at least 12 weeks old. Avoid purchasing a teacup piglet online if the breeder doesn't provide current pictures of the piglet over 12 weeks old. Some breeders may sell potbelly pigs as teacup pigs, so be wary. Pampered Piglets has a longstanding reputation for providing the smallest teacup piglets and offering support throughout the adoption process. We even provide financing options to assist you in bringing home your new companion.

Unfortunately, some pigs are starved by owners who were misled into thinking they were purchasing a teacup pig from an unethical breeder when, in reality, they were getting a normal potbelly pig. This can lead to severe health issues for the pig. It's crucial to purchase from a reputable breeder. Real teacup pigs will stay small if kept on a proper diet, but potbelly pigs subjected to the same diet will become malnourished and may die.

The difference between a Super Micro pig, Micro pig, Mini pig, teacup pig, and Juliana pig lies mostly in breeding practices and the size of the parents and grandparents. Super micro pigs are the smallest and are more likely to remain on the lighter side of the 15-40 pound average weight as adults. Juliana pigs, on the other hand, are an actual breed known for their spotted appearance.

How much do teacup pigs weigh as adults? Our teacup pigs typically weigh between 15-45 pounds as long as they are maintained on the proper diet. Most teacup pigs continue to grow until they are 4-5 years old.

Can teacup pigs stay in apartments? Whether a teacup pig can live in an apartment depends on various factors, including the apartment's layout and whether you have the time to take the pig on daily walks. Additionally, providing a non-slippery surface for the pig to walk on and a designated area for relaxation is important.

Can teacup pigs be housebroken? Teacup pigs are highly intelligent and can be trained to use a litter box from a very young age. Patience and positive reinforcement are key during the training process.
