What’s the Deal with Teacup Pigs?

Today we are talking about a controversial topic in the pig world. Teacup Pigs.

In this episode of The Pet Pig Podcast Autumn explains:

  • What are teacup pigs?
  • Terms used for tiny pigs and where did these terms come from?
  • What is the lure of teacup pigs?
  • What do bad breeders do to keep their pigs tiny? 
  • What physical effect does this have on pigs?

So, when it comes to teacup pigs, let’s try to gently, and kindly educate others.  No healthy pig stays tiny.  My hope with this podcast is to empower the pig community with correct information.  I want those interested in a pet pig to have the tools to make an informed decision.  I also want to support those who already have a pet pig to help them understand them so they can enjoy them even more.

 

Key Takeaway: Teacup pigs do not exist. So let’s stop perpetuating this lie and supporting breeders who do that.
