Why You Should Be Careful When Choosing a Mini Pig as a Pet: The Breeder Might Be Playing a Pig
The issue of choosing a pet should be approached with all responsibility, especially when it comes to mini-pigs, or dwarf pigs, which have become popular recently.
First of all, it is worth noting that, contrary to popular belief, these animals are very clean. Just like dogs, they are quite easy to train for walking.
Another piece of good news is that pigs can win over anyone with their affectionate, playful and obedient nature, and they also get along well with other animals.
What could be the problem?
The thing is that, although it is believed that the average weight of a mini-pig does not exceed 15 kg, no one can predict how small or large the animal will grow.
Therefore, anyone who is determined to raise a piglet indoors should only purchase a future family member from trusted breeders in special mini-pig clubs.
However, even in this case, it is quite likely that the pig will reach a weight of 80 kg. What is important: pigs become sexually mature at about a year, but continue to gain weight for a couple more years.
Therefore, if you buy a piglet from young parents, it is unknown what kind of pig it and its “ancestors” will grow up to be.
