Does a Mini Pig Exist?

What is a mini pig? There are many misconceptions about pig size. There are also those that say that a mini pig does not exist. So what is the truth?

Does a mini pig exist? What is a mini pig? How can you know if the pig you are bringing home is a mini pig?

A mini pig is technically any pig under 300 pounds. There are breeds out there that are under 300 pounds so a mini pig does exist. The problem is that a mini pig is not a breed. The term mini is a classification for pigs. The average size for a healthy mini pig is between 75-150 pounds. If you compare a dog that is 75 pounds to a pig that is 75 pounds they look completely different.

If you find a breeder that will guarantee that your pig will not get above 40 pounds, you have found someone who is either lying to you or they are feeding their pig miniscule amounts in order to keep them small. I am against underfeeding pigs just as much as I am against overfeeding them.

How can you know that you are getting a mini pig from a reputable breeder?

You want to see the parents.
A pig grows until they are 5 so is this pig 6 months old or 5 years old. Scroll down on their social media and look at their pigs to figure out how long they have had their pigs.
Look at their reviews and see if they have references.

Key takeaway: Yes a mini pig does exist but not in the sense that mini dogs exist. But more in the sense of a mini cow. It is very small compared to the full size animal but it will not fit into your handbag.
