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

The pricing of our teacup piglets varies based on factors such as color, age, and anticipated size—whether they're micro pigs or Super Micro. Despite the term "teacup" being somewhat misleading, these charming creatures can weigh anywhere from 15 pounds to 40 pounds. While exceptionally rare, some grown adults may weigh as little as 8 to 15 pounds, though such occurrences are unpredictable. It's crucial to note that if piglets aren't neutered or spayed, they tend to grow larger. Thus, we highly recommend having your piglet neutered or spayed. Additionally, breeder teacup pigs often exhibit more substantial growth. For breeders, providing additional nourishment is essential as they're eating for their piglets too. Different colors also command different prices, with pink being particularly desired and fetching a premium over more common colors like black. Juliana and Chocolate hues are also highly sought after.

When selecting teacup piglets, size is paramount. Many competitors advertise piglets for $800 to $1,500, often showcasing them when they're just a few days old. Not only is this unhealthy and unethical, but it also results in misrepresented piglets. Genuine teacup piglets must be mature enough to be safely weaned and rehomed, which typically occurs at around 12 weeks old. Exercise caution with breeders who attempt to predict a piglet's adult size when they're only a few days old; this is merely a sales tactic. Authentic 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, leading to larger-than-expected pets. While these pigs can make loving pets, be aware of the size difference.

Are teacup pigs starved to stay small? Unfortunately, some pigs are starved by owners who have been duped into thinking they're acquiring a teacup pig from an unethical breeder, when they're actually getting a normal pot-bellied pig. This can lead to severe health complications for these poor pigs. Thus, it's crucial to only buy from reputable breeders. Genuine teacup pigs will stay small if they're kept on a proper diet; however, if a pot-bellied pig is placed on the same diet, it will become malnourished and may die.

What is the difference between a Super Micro pig, Micro pig, Mini pig, teacup pig, and Juliana pig? Super micro pigs are the smallest, typically staying within the lighter side of the 15-40 lbs average weight as adults. However, many of these distinctions are based on breeding practices and the size of parents and grandparents. Juliana pigs are an actual breed, typically spotted. At times, we crossbreed Juliana piglets with Super Micro pigs to produce unique colors.

Are teacup pigs legal in Missouri? Teacup pigs are now legal in most cities, but it's still wise to check local ordinances. If your city specifically mentions no swine, consider a different pet or moving to a different city. In most cities, you won’t have anything to worry about.

How much do teacup pigs weigh as adults? Our teacup pigs weigh, on average, 15-45 lbs as long as they're kept on the proper diet. Most teacup pigs continue growing until they're 4-5 years old. We pride ourselves on having the smallest teacup pigs in the United States, with our piglets getting smaller with each generation.

Can teacup pigs stay in apartments? It depends on the apartment and whether you have time to take the pig for walks and ensure the floors aren't too slippery. Pigs need their own space for relaxation, like a bed or pen. Many city dwellers have successfully adopted from us, but ensure you provide them with exercise and a suitable environment.

Can teacup pigs be housebroken? Teacup pigs are very intelligent and can learn to use a litter box at a young age. When training, keep them in a smaller space until they're using the litter box consistently. Be patient and use positive reinforcement.

What's the easiest way to distinguish between a regular pig, a pot-bellied pig, and a teacup pig? Look at the ears; teacup pigs have straighter ears compared to floppy ears of regular pigs. Additionally, be wary of breeders who showcase very young piglets, as this is often unethical. True teacup pigs must be weaned at an older age. Request updated pictures from the breeder before making a purchase.
