Micro Pigs

Fun and games don't have to stop once you've grown up. Because we believe in playfulness at all ages, you'll find a new friend in your micro pigs. We are adding new information all the time to arm you with as much information as possible to make the right choices as to whether a micro pig is for you or not. One huge benefit to having a pet pig is that people with allergies shouldn't have any problems as they have hair not fur!  We have had around 3 customers with allergies wanting to buy a pet pig but worried about allergies, one of them very severe, none had a reaction or asthma attack upon touching and playing with piglets, having said this we can not guarantee it, so it is always best practice to visit and see how it goes.

Please remember that micro pigs need constant companionship.

We want you and our piglets to be happy please think seriously about pigs as pets and understand the commitment before you buy.

Pet pigs are very CLEAN animals, they do not like mud, mud is purely for their survival, our pigs outside of very hot summers will steer clear of mud at all times, even when they are in mud they do not look content, they look hot and uncomfortable just as we are when the thermostat hits 30c. They are there purely to cool themselves off and stop sunburn/overheating.  This is their only method to cool down, ours have both mud and water, but they will only use it when temperatures rise so high it is hard for all animals to cope.  The point here is that pigs should have access to mud when it is hot and they need it, during the winter and cooler times we dont let ours live in mud. They will love you for allowing them to live a clean, healthy and happy life. 

Micro Pigs have taken 15 years to reach the small size they are now, our lines of micro pigs are exclusive to us and a handful of breeders who hold full provenace, this is so important as there are many out there breeding what they might think are micro pigs, but if the genetics are not understood the potential to have a "throw back" is increased and therefore without provenance you could end up with a very large pig.

There is no such thing as a teacup pig, they simply do not exist.  The name Micro is a name generated by media interest and they are Micro Pigs when compared to their ancestors of huge size. Defra has a statement on micro pigs and it means they have been breed to be smaller than normal sized pigs.

We recommend Micro Pigs live outside in suitable accommodation, this could be in the form of a shed, wendy house etc.  They will need barley straw to keep warm.  By all means let your Micro Pig wander in and out the house during the day, they do like to come and say hello, not to mention a tummy tickle!! 

We will be transparent on our site and put loads of pictures and videos of our micro pig parents, we are adding to our parents all the time and also building our own lines with the help of an expert. 

When you visit to choose piglets you will meet our parent micro pigs.  We hope you will see from our website we are a very family and animal orientated team and this will show when you visit us.

They will grow to the size of a medium breed dog and become quite round as pigs do, so they will be heavy further down the line, it is better that you know all of this before you choose a micro pig from us.  They can be like puppies so watch them when they are allowed indoors or house them somewhere safe whilst they are not being supervised.  Access to a garden is an absolute must our recommendation is always that pigs should live outdoors with limited access to the indoors, they love the outdoors.  If you are worried about mess  or smell you can fence off a pen with bark wood chip in, this will keep it pretty clean and they wont mess in their bed area whether that be indoors or outdoors. 

A micro pig is a similar commitment to having a dog, although they do not need walking, can you spare 15 years to love and care for your new piglet
