How much do our teacup pigs cost? Typically ranging 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. There is even a Facebook group of pig enthusiasts where their average mini pig grows to over 100 pounds. The breeders do love pigs and to them, a 150 lbs pig is still adorable. You can easily find one of these larger pigs for under $1,000. There are other breeders you can find online locally that sell their pigs for $1,000-1,500 range. Most of these pigs in this price range will get 80-150 lbs.

This can cause major health complications for these poor little pigs. This is probably one of the scariest things that can happen if new pet owners buy a “teacup pig” from someone in the classified ad section or someone selling them very cheap online. Therefore, you want to only buy from a reputable breeder. Real teacup pigs will stay small if they are kept on a proper diet however if you put a potbelly pig on the same diet it will become malnourished and may die.

Teacup pigs are very smart and just being a few days old they will jump in and out of a litter box to go to the bathroom. When a piglet gets to a new place it will most likely need to get use to the new place and where you want it to go potty. You can either train the pig to go to the bathroom outside or in a litterbox. When you are first training, the piglet make sure that you keep them in a smaller place and not let them roam a

bunch until they are using the litter box. Be patient with the piglet and remember teacup pigs respond better to positive reinforcement rather than negative reinforcement.

What is the easiest way to be able to distinguish between a regular pig, a pot belly pig, and a teacup pig?

There first thing to look at is the ears. Normal size pigs have floppy ears while teacup pigs have more straight ears. That is will weed out normal pigs from potbelly pigs and teacup pigs. Next thing to look at is the pictures on the website. If a breeder is putting on piglets that don’t have a lot of hair or look very young than you should avoid buying from them. Most people like the look and cuteness that piglets have when they are just a couple days old. Some breeders take advantage of this by taking pictures and taking the piglets away from their moms at a very young age just so they can sell the piglet and make a few bucks. True teacup pigs must be weaned at an older age. Make sure you ask the breeder to send you an updated pic before you buy a piglet from their website.
