Sales Policy

Welcome to A LITTLE PIG… home of little micro mini pigs.

I raise Micro Mini Pigs, which are not Pot Bellied pigs. These little pigs do not have a sway back or potbellies. They range in weight from 20 lbs to 35 lbs, height around 16 inches, length around 30 inches. They are the size of a small dog. These pigs are very affectionate and love attention, are easily trained, and can be manipulative. They can be litter boxed trained in a matter of days.

RESERVING PIGS: You can reserve a pig with a $50.00 deposit. We will send pictures of litters and you can pick from pictures or you can visit our farm to pick out your pig.

All our pigs will be house broken, leash trained, and socialized. Our pigs will be weaned at 6-7 weeks.

SHIPPING: We can ship our pigs to to you by an Animal Shipping Company at extra cost to you. It ranges from $150.00 to $250.00, depending on where you live.

Care and Feeding

Although these little pigs are very smart and can be trained to do tricks, they can be lazy if not properly exercised and socialized. They respond well to positive reinforcement when behaving well, but should not be physically punished. You can train them with praise and treats, but keep the treats to a minimum.

You should walk your pig daily on a leash or allow it to run through the house or yard for exercise or they will gain weight. If you find that your pet is gaining weight, increase their veggies and cut back on grain. They will eat nearly endless amounts of food, particularly high-carbohydrate unhealthy food; if allowed. So it is vital to restrict your pet’s access to the food it craves. They will constantly search for food, and should be kept away from other pets food dishes. You can purchase your special mini pig feed at Tractor Supply or check you local feed store for Mini Pig Food. Pigs are omnivores, equally interested in vegetables, meats, sweets, and carbohydrate-based food. They will eat almost anything. So be very careful of your pigs diet and do not feed them junk food. You want to have a healthy pig, so think healthy foods.

Worming: You should take your pig to a licensed veternarian for a check up yearly. They should be wormed twice a year with 1% Ivomec orally which is the easiest and best method. An alternative wormer is Dectomax (is a pour on and it comes with a measuring bottle so you do not make a mistake). I would alternate them for better effectiveness.

You can get the Ivomec at some feed stores or ask your vet to give you enough for two doses. Tell your vet you want to give it to the pig by mouth instead of in shots; he will needs to give you a little more than what would be in the shot. If you cannot get it from your vet or find it at your local feed store then you will need to shop on-line. Check for KV vet supply. You are looking for Ivomec for swine, the 1% solution. Remember: Pigs do not handle shots very well so ask if it can be given orally. Some use 2/10th of a cc per 10 pounds if given by injection. Others give 1cc per 50 pounds of body weight. Ivomec is safe and very hard to overdose so do not worry.

Also remember that pigs can build up immunity to Ivomec so it is good at times to alternate with Dectomax. You can order Dectomax from Jeffers Catalog (1-800-Jeffers). It is as good as Ivomec for up to 7 different kinds of parasites including mange.

Vaccinations: If they are required in your area, first check with your vet. Vaccinations should include Erysipelas, Bordatella, and Pasturella on a yearly basis after initial double dose at 6-10 weeks and 12-14 weeks. Be careful: Reactions to Lepto vaccinations are common. Using cat or dog vaccines are unacceptable! Vaccinations can be given either in the butt muscle or in the neck 2-3 inches behind the ear.

The preceeding information on care and feeding of Micro Mini Pigs is for those who are just getting started with this wonderful hobby. I have listed some considerations and information for basic care and described the methods I use with my herd. This is my personal opinion based on my experience with Micro Mini Pigs. I am not a veternarian so therefore if you are unsure of a topic related to Micro Mini Pigs health or care and/or administration of medicines and vaccinations please check with your veternarian as I do not attempt to prescribe or take the place of professional veterinary advice.
