Is a Piggie right for you?

Mini pigs are adorable. That’s just a fact. But there are a lot of things to consider when thinking about getting any animal as a pet, so we’re outlining why you need a mini pig.

Mini pigs are very trainable, as they are very very intelligent! Pigs are like 3-year-old children - intelligent, curious, mischievous and sometimes manipulative. They are sensitive creatures that can be playful, and even humorous. In the intelligence scale, they are only two species away from the intelligence of humans! Only the monkey/ape family and the dolphin/whale families are more intelligent.

Mini pigs don’t have coats, so they don’t shed dander like cats and dogs. That means they tend not to aggravate allergies in people with pet allergies
You can litter train them, and teach them tricks just as you would a dog. They are clean, generally non-allergenic, odor-free, flea-free, charming and inexpensive to feed. Pigs are social, bonding easily with humans. They’ll readily roll over for a tummy rub, as well as snuggle with you. They don’t bark, prowl the streets or spread rabies. Compared with dog droppings, mild smelling “pig berries” are a breeze to clean up. Mini pigs are motivated by food, so treat-based positive reinforcement training is best. You can take them for walks, and you can usually use products made for dogs, including leads, bowls and adorable little jackets and outfits.

Mini piggies are "special" animals and owners who take the time to understand the psychology of piggies bond very closely with their piggies. Many owners sleep with their pigs, travel with their oinkers, dress them in costumes and share every aspect of their lives with their piggy companions. Piggies love to have their tummies scratched, and to snuggle with their owners.

Pigs don’t have sweat glands, so they don’t generate their own funky smell. The males only begin to stink because when they mature they develop scent glands that smell awful. Neutered males and female pigs don’t develop these glands, so they never really smell bad.

Mini pigs are very sociable, and they get on well with other household pets, especially if they are introduced to other animals at a younger age.
Mini pigs love to be in fleece blankets, and not just during winter holidays. They love their blankets all the time. Digging around in blankets helps alleviate their rooting instinct, and when they do that, you’ll have a pig in a blanket.

when you pick up your piggy. owners will receive educational handouts on this and other important piggy topics.

Piggies enjoy time outdoors, in a fenced yard (secure from hostile dogs) and/or taken on daily walks.

Mini pigs need access to water.

We are a farrow to wean farm for mini pigs, mini kune, and Kune Kune pigs. We also have Nigerian Dwarf goats, chickens, and ducks here on the farm we breed and sell.

*We have a small full time farm, we also give our animals and customers lots of dedication and always there because we care.
*We socialize our pigs and goats with adults, kids and other animals including dogs and cats.
*We have small breeding lines with our tallest mini being only 17" at 3 years old.
*our prices ....
Why are our babies cheaper than most ??
We are asked this question so many times!!!
Well here's our thoughts...
We enjoy our piggies
We enjoy what we do
We love our herd
I think it's ridiculous to charge $1000's like others do to be completely honest
The money we make goes right back into our herd here at the farm.
*Our piggies are never caged they have acres of pasture to roam, and warm straw waiting in the barns when they need naps.
*Our pigs come from a loving home and we want them to enter into loving homes
*While the babies are still with us we start their litter training, receive deworm and anti parasite shots, make sure they are healthy and eating solid foods, receive iron shots and as always pre-spoiled.

Piggies can be super pets. If our family did not believe this we would not breed them! We have lots of happy customers who love the pigs that we have sold them and they would agree that they are great pets. These are people who have been shown how to take care of these animals properly and they have been given our good advice from the beginning, we are always here if you have a question for the life of your piggie.

We will always be huge fans of the irresistible miniature pigs. We have had pigs as family pets for years. We have found these special animals to be wonderful pets with a fun and quirky personality. Their personalities are highly entertaining! People who have not owned these wonderful pets are surprised to learn that these mini pigs are ranked as the planet’s 4th most intelligent animal. Piggie owners, however, are surprised they don’t rank higher!

Mini pigs are easily litter box or trained to go outside for their potty just like a dog. Despite what many people hear, pigs do not like to be dirty. They keep their bathroom (litter box) completely separated from their eating and sleeping area. They do not have a scent if neutered. They do not get fleas. They are wonderful for animal lovers who are allergic to cat or dog hair. They are a ‘hypo-allergenic’ pet!

Most of what you think you know about miniature pigs is probably false! Well, maybe not everything – they really do ‘eat like pigs’. They are clean, funny, personable, highly intelligent and affectionate.
