How much do our teacup pigs cost? Typically, prices range from $1,500 to $3,000.

The cost of our teacup piglets fluctuates based on various factors including color, age, and anticipated size—whether they're micro pigs or Super Micro. While the term "teacup" might sound diminutive, these delightful creatures can weigh anywhere from 15 pounds to 40 pounds. We've even had the pleasure of witnessing rare cases where fully-grown adults tip the scale at a mere 8 to 15 pounds, though such instances are exceedingly uncommon and unpredictable. It's important to note that if piglets aren't neutered or spayed, they have a tendency to grow larger. Hence, we HIGHLY RECOMMEND having your piglet neutered or spayed. Additionally, breeder teacup pigs often exhibit more substantial growth. For those involved in breeding teacup pigs, it's crucial to provide extra nourishment since they're eating for both themselves and their piglets. Different colors also come with varying price tags, with pink ranking among the most coveted hues and commanding a premium over more common colors like black. Juliana and Chocolate are also highly sought-after colors.

When considering teacup piglets, size reigns supreme. Many competitors advertise piglets priced between $800 to $1,500, often displaying them when they're just a few days old. Not only is this detrimental to their health and unethical, but it also leads to misrepresentation of the piglets. Genuine teacup piglets aren't sufficiently mature to be safely weaned and rehomed until they reach at least 12 weeks old. Exercise caution when encountering breeders who attempt to predict a piglet's adult size when they're only a few days old; this is simply a sales tactic. True teacup piglets must be weaned at an older age. Avoid purchasing a teacup piglet online if there isn't a current picture from the breeder showing the piglet at over 12 weeks old. Some breeders market pot-bellied pigs as teacup pigs, resulting in pets larger than expected. While these pigs can make wonderful companions, it's important to be aware of the size difference.

Are teacup pigs starved to stay small? Unfortunately, some pigs fall victim to starvation at the hands of owners who have been misled into believing they're acquiring a teacup pig from an unscrupulous breeder, when in reality, they're getting a standard pot-bellied pig. This can lead to serious health complications for these poor animals. Consequently, it's imperative to only purchase from reputable breeders. Authentic teacup pigs will remain small when provided with a proper diet; however, placing a pot-bellied pig on the same diet will result in malnourishment and potentially fatal consequences.

What distinguishes a Super Micro pig, Micro pig, Mini pig, teacup pig, and Juliana pig? Super micro pigs are the smallest, typically falling within the lighter end of the 15-40 lbs average weight range as adults. However, many of these distinctions are based on breeding practices and the sizes of parents and grandparents. Juliana pigs are an established breed, often featuring distinctive spotting. On occasion, we engage in crossbreeding between Juliana piglets and Super Micro pigs to produce unique color variations.

Are teacup pigs legal in Louisiana? Teacup pigs are now legal in most cities; however, it's advisable to verify local ordinances. If your city expressly prohibits swine, you may wish to consider a different pet or relocating to a different area.

How much do teacup pigs weigh as adults? On average, our teacup pigs weigh between 15-45 lbs, provided they're maintained on a proper diet. Most teacup pigs continue growing until they're 4-5 years old. We take pride in offering the smallest teacup pigs in the United States, with our piglets shrinking in size with each successive generation.

Can teacup pigs thrive in apartments? The feasibility of keeping a teacup pig in an apartment hinges on factors such as available space and your ability to take the pig for walks regularly. Pigs require a dedicated area for relaxation, such as a bed or pen. Many urban dwellers have successfully welcomed teacup pigs into their homes; however, it's imperative to ensure they receive adequate exercise and a suitable environment.

Can teacup pigs be housebroken? Teacup pigs are highly intelligent and can be trained to use a litter box from a young age. During training, confine them to a smaller space until they consistently utilize the litter box. Employ patience and positive reinforcement throughout the training process.

What's the simplest method for distinguishing between a regular pig, a pot-bellied pig, and a teacup pig? Examine the ears; teacup pigs typically possess straighter ears compared to the floppy ears of standard pigs. Additionally, exercise caution when encountering breeders who showcase very young piglets, as this is often indicative of unethical practices. Authentic teacup pigs must be weaned at an older age. Request updated photographs from the breeder prior to making a purchase.
