  2. Miniature & Pot-Bellied Pigs Miniature pigs (especially Vietnamese Pot- Bellied Pigs) are becoming common household pets. These animals can range in size from 40 to nearly 200 lbs. Vietnamese Pot-Bellied Pigs (VPBPs) were first domesticated in Southeast Asia around six thousand years ago. Recently, they have become quite popular due their intelligence, friendliness, and small size. However, there is a significant amount of false information on the internet with regard to care of miniature pigs. This article explores important things to know in order to keep your mini-pig happy and healthy.

  3. Diet Obesity is a common problem with VPBPs. Overweight pigs are prone to joint problems, metabolic disease, and “fat-blindness”, which occurs when the fat pads over the eyes become over-large and impair the pig’s vision. It is important to feed your pig feed that has been specially formulated for miniature pigs. Housing & Handling Mini-pigs can be housed indoors, outdoors, or in a combination of the two. Indoor pigs need a space to call their own with a bed of blankets, food and water, and a litter pan.
