I love what you said about "They'd be just as lovable" regardless of their size. So true. Sure, harder to have in your house... but just as lovable for sure.
I'd say for about 20 years I've wanted a pig. I haven't procured one because I'm not positive I can care for one long term.
Be responsible!
This!! Absolutely!
Well but thinking you’ve been wanting one for 20 years and they live about 20 years I think you’re responsible enough!
I kind of impulsively rescued my 10 week old pig only a week ago. It was life changing. Much more work than I ever expected, but ... I am incredibly luckily. I love him with all of my heart. I certainly wasn't prepared but I got there quickly! He's my forever family.
We just got our first mini pig. She is smart amazing and we are so happy to have her for life...
She is going in and out with our shit zu they are best buddies...
She has a "pighawk" mowhawk cutest thing ever
Loves to run outback
I love the hawks 😜
And how?
Pigs are my favorite animal I’m obsessed I want one so bad
Your passion for animals is absolutely beautiful ♡ and your mini pigs are adorable
She is 100% spot on about pig sizes! My mom and I breed minis. We have one BIG mama, a kunekune/potbelly cross that probably weighs around 200lbs and one little mama that weighs around 50lbs. We also have one piggy that weighs maybe 35lbs at one year old that will have babies someday! This chick has got to be like my long lost sister or something lol
You called her a chick but shes wearing a piggy costume... 🤣
Saying that a pig under 50 lbs doesn't exist is normally the uneducated response from passionate animal rights advocates that talks before they can think because they've seen what these pigs or dogs or whatever other species have been through and they want it to end.You seem passionate about these pigs and you do have some educated information that I cannot argue with. You have a beautiful home and space for these pigs, I think the world could use someone like you to advocate against pig breeders. I haven't watched all your videos and I don't know all your pig's stories, but it seems like you have a passion for rescuing them. You should do some extra research and learn that genetic diversity in pigs is very important. The way some of these pigs get to be only 15 lbs is if they're inbred constantly. It's not normally a healthy gene pool and saying that its similar to dogs is correct, but not necessarily in a positive way. Dogs were bred for so many different reasons over several hundred years, they're overpopulated now and come with a slew of health issues. Many people are just now realizing that rescuing a mutt could be the best option, and to me, it seems like you're here rooting for this breeding of pigs saying its real and implying it is okay.
She is a breeder...lol Not that I care. But she has admitted it
Idk some of those pigs looked pretty skinny. They certainly can be smaller than 100 pounds. Mine is about 90 pounds. He's a potbelly. My brother in law raises potbelly pigs. His smallest adult is 65 pounds. Ours is the largest from his litters
I love pigs so much xox
I just got the same pig onesie for my birthday, and wore it to school on PJ day! Everybody was staring at me!!! It was great!! ;)) I LOVE PIGS!!!
Lol you are absolutely adorable! !! Keep up the excellent work 👍👍👍
Thank you so much!!
Awe your so sweet
She’s like the barn version of TaylorDean, please continue with the content!!! I can’t wait to watch your channel grow
Thank you!!
Also, ASMR puts me to sleep every night :P
You're adorable seriously. LOL 😝 🤪 sitting in the 🐖 pen dressed as a pig🐷Girl, your personality rocks! People who are different are what gives LIFE meaning! My daughter is 14 y.o. & she has consistently since birth been obsessed with animals. She NEVER wanted Barbie dolls or toys most little girls play with~only stuffed animals or real animals. And she used to pretend that she was a real 🐅🐯 tiger or jaguar, & I had to play along or she would be mad LOL!😂🥰
She sounds adorable! She'll probably grow up to be some great animal advocate and save endangered animals!!
Omg. Your first pig, Marge had piglets after you rescued her. My rescue dog, Marge, had puppies the day after I rescued her.
That just made me freak out a little lol. I want a “mini pig” so much! Thanks for your info :)
How funny!!
Hi, we have two grown up Micro- Pigs. In Germany the definition of a mini-pig is "any pig with a weight of 120 kilo or less". Since a few years there is the kathegory Micro- Pig. The average weight is between 18 and 25 kilogramm. The pigs are healthy and sporty. There are currently two possibilities to buy them in germany. One race is called "Bergsträsser Knirps" . And the other race of pigs has no name, but the pigs can purchased at Farmer Korte ( Bauer Korte) in Menden in Germany. Kind regardings
So interesting to learn about how they differ in other countries!
I am a new pig mom and I now can't picture my life wife without my girl. She makes me so happy and your videos are helping me make her life even better.( She is really spoiled right now, but she is loved and very well taken care of) btw she is a cuna/ new Guinea hog
What's her name?! 🐷
@@courtneyraiyn-eshaiyn7815 Her name is Freya. Like the Norse Goddess. She has a tiktok called life of Freya. Thanks for the interest
@@ashlynhoudek6645 yes, I am knowledgeable on Norse. My ex husband was Norse. And I am Norwegian. LOL funny thing...we had a great Dane named Freya. She was beautiful but unfortunately she got cancer at 4 years old & died. But we loved Norse names. My son is named Kael Asbjorn. (Little bear who is strong) and it was a good name for him because he was born very sick but he was a great fighter! Today Kael is doing fabulous! Love that name Freya tho! Sorry for the life story. Lol
I'm so glad you started this channel bc of the lack of knowledge people have of pigs and you're amazing and so are all of the beautiful pigs you've rescued and raised, Thank You
Thank you!! It's been so encouraging to see how many other people love pigs :D
how you carry your pig without them squealing? I cant pick up mine, she screamed so loud lol although we have good relationship, I can rub her belly, she like to come around and play with me but does not like being pick up from the ground?
Pigs instinctively HATE being lifted off the ground. They have a lot of natural predators and being scooped up like that from above makes them feel attacked. I've never met a piglet that didn't start off hating it.
The absolute worst thing you can do when getting your pig used to it is to put them down when they squeal. They are so smart and they will instantly learn that if they scream they get what they want (put down). It means the first few weeks with your pig will be loud and require a lot of patience! Hold her as much as you can, all the time, let other people hold her, wrap her in warm blankets, scratch her belly while you hold her, give her treats while she's being held. Eventually the persistence will pay off. My pigs actually BEG to be picked up and chase me around the house yelling for it! Lol
Adri Rachelle Informative, thank you.
Mine does the same unless I carry him a certain way. I have to basically rap my arms around him evenly where his legs dont hang and have him really close to me
Tho I've trained some of our pigs to be held without squealing, there are some that just HATE it. And kick, throw their weight around. It becomes dangerous for me and the pig. So we just don't pick those up anymore unless it's was a dangerous situation (which so far hasn't come up) like a dog tried getting them or something.
I have others who LOVE to lay I my lap, be held, etc.
Bless you for sharing your heart with us about these animals. If we had passion for all animals that “we eat,” maybe we would have more respect for “commercial food animals.” They way we treat them is sad :c Thank you for sharing your love of these animals! :)
Thank you for taking a moment to appreciate all of my animals :) I’m overjoyed they are now making other animal lovers happy as well!
Adri Rachelle Happy and conscious! As a medical student I cannot praise enough the plant-based diets (and the mostly plant-based diets) that encourage a sustainable and cruelty-free future. I used to say that if everyone had to raise or catch their food, everyone would be vegetarian! 😆 Thank you for sharing your cute home & piggie pets and your love and respect of nature & God’s creatures 💙
ahhh i have a “micro” pig and she actually just turned 5 months old yesterday! i haven’t even weighed her yet because she’s just so adorable i can’t even be concerned about her size. we have her on a feeding schedule that she seems to be super happy with and seeing that score chart made me so happy because her little rump looks just like the “ideal” size! i did so much research before getting her but other than that, kind of went into this hoping for the best and not knowing what to expect. but like you said at the end of this, she really is my best friend. she loves to cuddle and root and MY GOSH can piglets sprint! she brightens my day every day and i’m so happy i’m not the only one crazy obsessed with my piggy! also, i NEED this onesie!!!
I love that you haven't weighed her. People become obsessed with it and literally nothing else about their pig matters. I understand why ensuring you aren't going to end up with a several hundred pound pig as indoor pet is important, but beyond that, who cares! If you pig is a great pet and you've committed to giving them a home it shouldn't matter if they exceed the 25lbs you hoped for...they're still as amazing at 50lbs+! Thank you for being the best kind of owner!
Thank you for being an advocate for animals. It appalls me how many people in this world treat their animals. We need more of us and with the dawn of social media, we can place increasing pressure on those who do not give their animals at least the bare minimum of care.
I completely agree. To be honest, it gives me some hope to see how many people are actually just ignorant about the needs and care required for pets, versus malicious and intentionally causing them to suffer. Thanks in part to social media people are becoming more aware of what they're doing wrong and an inspiring number are apologetic and fix any errors immediately! I'm among them...reflecting on how I kept my pets as a child sadness me, but both my parents and I THOUGHT we were doing right by them! Education, and the desire to keep learning and improving, can make such a difference.
So cool!! That kigu is adorable. I love your herd!
This video def makes me feel better 🙏🏻 some people just don’t realize mini pigs can literally reach 400lbs and be much bigger than the piggies you own. I just get so concerned because everyone this day and age wants a pig & it def is a gamble on what size they will be💓 all so cute !
I'm a new mini 🐷 owner. I'm so in love with him. I use your videos for learning. Like you said every pig is different and what you do might not work for mine. The only thing I seem to still have an issue with is bath time. He is 4 months old and still won't take a bath I have only been able to wipe him with a wash cloth. I did just watch your bath time and I felt better his screaming meaning he's still OK. And thank you for letting me know that I can't show him I'm stressed.
Baths are always a challenge, especially if it's not something that's been done since they were very young. to be honest, I often take just hold my little ones in the shower with me, so they still feel secure and safe while also realizing the scary waterfall isnt going to hurt them at all.
I will try that cause sitting in a kids pool in the middle if my kitchen just make a mess.. Lol
Our "mini" is about 90 pounds. 90 pounds of tantrums😂😂
Very informative. My piggy Cheerio is 8 months old, I hope she doesn't get too big but if she does....oh well....she's family now. 😊
Hi Cheerio!!
That's exactly what I love hearing from pig owners - unconditional devotion!
how do you get them all to get along from different places? my lil guy would fight with my kunekune piglets and it was too brutal so I had to remove him. And the piglets were smaller than him! But they beat him up. I've been thinking of starting a pig sanctuary too and don't know if you need to have all your housing separate or not?
Im obsessed with watching pigs.
Omgoodness they are absolutely adorable!! Your adorable!! The whole setup is adorable, your my new best friend now..yup! We're friends
😊 Lol! Thank you!!
You deserve way more subscribers!
You're sweet :) I'm overjoyed about every single new one I get! Totally overwhelmed by the support.
My whole room is full of pig pictures,pig stuffed animals and a pig lonesome of course
You sound like me!
Your pigs are the absolute cutest! Thanks for sharing a bit of your life with us :) I randomly came across your videos and my boyfriend and I have been enjoying them thus far!
Thank you (both)! I'm so glad people are getting to share in the joy my pets bring me!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE mini pigs im 10 years old and im begging my mum to get me a pig my life is pigs I love pigs I would do anything for a pet pig and im a pigaterian as I call it I dont eat any pork I really support you and your channel because I love pigs🐷too and I think you awesome
Pigaterian, lol! I love that!
I've always loved pigs.
I am getting a mini pot bellied pig on Tuesday and I CANNOT wait to pick him up!!
That’s so exciting!!! Feel free to come back with any questions you have after bringing him home 😊
Adri Rachelle I definitely will!
Awe hows it going 😭💙
Rachel Crybaby same I want to know
You know damn well that pig didn't stay mini lmao
I have pigs on my farm but they are big and I have a cat so my parents won’t let me have a potbelly pig like I have always wanted one
Maybe some day. I had to wait until I was on my own to get my first one
Adri Rachelle omg I have never got to talk to a RUclipsr! I hope someday
How are pigs as pets when there are no other pigs or any animals for that matter? If outside and I am gone for a few hours, are they likely to be noisy? Lastly how are pigs with young children...what are things to watch for with the kids? Thanks for your videos, loving your positivity!
At my age I can't dictate the weight of my girlfriends or my mini pig. She loves the day old bread from the Mega Walmart across the street, the pig, I mean.
Thank you for this! Im always getting scolded about how my pig is not going to stay small she’s going to get 200 pounds or that she’s not big enough for her age. She’s about 7 months and 27 pounds, after taking her to the vet for her consultation for her spay the vet said she is absolutely perfect weight & so well behaved we just feed her more veggies then pellets like some other pig moms. Love your videos! Was such a relief to see we did everything right with our little princess!
I hear it every time someone who doesn't know me sees my pigs or a post I make with them :P It comes with the territory - every pig owner deals with it. The best thing you can say is that it does not matter to you. You love your pig and that is not contingent on their size. Then just live with the satisfaction that you know not EVERY "mini" pig is a scam and not ALL of them get to be 100s of lbs.
I just love your videos! I lost my sweet potbelly to cancer when he was 21 and he was the sweetest and best pet ever.
So sorry about your baby. It sounds like he had an amazing, LONG, life though. Thank you for loving pigs like I do.
im sorry for your loss:c
There is a pig a city away from me in Ohio a guy has a mini pig and he abuses it. The only reason I know this is because my mom is a dispatcher and got a call about it. He leaves it in the snow in the cold, rarely feeds and he hits it and mom said she saw how the pig looked and it was heart breaking we are trying to get the poor baby. We tried yesterday but the guy refused, we are going to keep trying and have been feeding it and giving it blankets. I named it Button.
Ugh, this is so sad. Thank you for trying to help! Good luck!!
Where can i buy that kind of pig😂
I love pigs but I can’t afford one😫
You're welcome to enjoy mine here any time you'd like!
You can rescue one from slaughter
Adri Rachelle ohh we can visit?! 😊💕
Look into SoCalMiniPigs or Adopt which would be wonderful since a lot of ppl only got the piggies 🐷 thinking they would stay little & got rid of them when they noticed there was no such thing as a micro pig even though they are in fact a mini pig but don’t fit into a teacup.
I have wanted one for forever and I finally convinced my mom to let me get one and im so excited
That's awesome!
Are there any common health issues people should be aware of before getting a pig?
"Common", not necessarily. Generally speaking they're a fairly healthy species. But, as with any animal, there are potential health concerns to be aware of and watch for.
They are prone to skin issues - dry, itchy, flaky skin. They need to be wormed on a regular schedule to prevent intestinal parasites and topical mites. They need to have regular hoof trimming and some need tusk trims as well. They can develop pneumonia and other respiratory issues so making sure they aren't exposed to extreme weather conditions is important. Some small pigs will suffer from blood sugar issues which is why it's important to not skip meals. Hip issues are a problem in overweight pigs. Access to water at all times is crucial to avoid salt poisoning (when a pig is deprived H2O for a period of time, then gulps large quantities it causes swelling and pressure on the brain).
Food, water, warmth and annual vet visits basically eliminate a good portion of those concerns :)
I love your personality!!! Keep up the good work❤️❤️❤️
Thank you 😊
I LOVE your pig onesie. I would wear it. I have a pig mask & tail that I wear for National Pig Day March 1. We had a big pig party this year, 2020, bc my husband gave me a mini pig for Christmas 🐽💗! I’m so glad I found your channel; we want to learn all we can about our pig; we “know” dogs much better. So far, Bentley is 14 lbs (and we paid over $2,000 for him!).
Thank you. It’s fun to wear.
Congratulations! What a great gift! I’m glad you found my channel also and I hope it’s helping. I’m sure Bentley is worth every penny.
Just curious. Which type of mini pigs do you find to stay the smallest. I have two. My one year old juliana/pot belly cross is probably 70lbs maybe 80. And not really sure what little norman is but hell be 8 weeks on feb 5th and hes 10lbs so probably potbelly
All of mine are mutts! I would say juliana is the most prevalent breed among them though.
Adri how are you? I seen a video u had where you made some kind of frozen treat with a silicone mold, do you have that info how to make that?
Do kune kune pigs grow the same size as a full grown mini pig, or are mini pigs smaller?
How can you tell the difference between a mini pig and an actual farm pig?
Thank you for starting a RUclips channel!!! It’s so hard to find honest videos online and I haven’t been able to find videos with mini pigs that are older at a real full grown size. I’ve had people talk me out of getting a mini pig for the last 10 years because they say there is no such thing as a “mini” pig.
I’ve heard pigs older than 6 months get increasingly harder to bond with your family which is why I haven’t tried to rescue a mini pig. Do you know of a reputable breeder? I’ve checked online but it’s hard to get perspective on size of the parents.
Also, is a 100lb pig the same as a 100lb dog living in your house? I could accommodate a 100lb dog but I have no idea about a pig 🤷♀️.
The uneducated mockery at the mere mention of wanting or owning a mini pig was a big part of the motivation behind this video. I was a little nervous to make it, due to all the criticism, but the lack of real information was too overwhelming! I’m still constantly having to defend REAL mini pigs against the stereotypes.
I feel strongly that at least 75% of pigs that are acquired under the pretense of being a “mini” are a complete lie. This is what has created the “there’s no such thing” and “it’s going to be 100s of lbs!”.
If you are careful and do ample research on a breeder you absolutely can find a real mini pig! Make sure the breeders pigs are over 3 years old. Ideally they will have multiple generations of pigs so you can see the size their parents are creating. Their piglets should spend a lot of time indoors and socializing. The nationally well-known breeders are generally reputable, but also very expensive. Your best bet is to try and find a great one close to you!
Rescuing them is very challenging, unfortunately. They bond so closely with their owners and pick up the routines of their previous home which can be hard to break. Not impossible, but best for a seasoned pig owner.
Honestly, I’m my opinion, a 100lb pig is easier than a 100lb dog! They’ll be much more compact, no shedding, no jumping on you or high energy levels. The hardest part is they can push your furniture around and squash couch cushions 😆 as long as their otherwise social, trained and friendly they’re quite easy.
Adri Rachelle Thank you for your reply! This is very helpful information.
Your so beautiful and amazing and I hope to be like u one day 💖 ur amazing
You are way too kind - but this comment made my day :) Thank you!
Omg u just replied ilysm 😭
You are beautiful inside and out... I think what you are doing is awesome👍
Kunekune are my breed of choice. They get over 100 lbs. but I don't care. They have their own house and a really secure pasture. I also love American Guinea hogs. They, like all pigs are really lovable.
I love Kunekune!!! Such sweethearts and soooo cute!
Hi I just found your channel and subbed. My daughter wants a pig. Can you tell me where you are located?
Glad you’re here :)
I’m in Georgia!
Your pigs are beautful and so are you please keep making videos thank you 😚😙😗😍😘
Thank you :)
im going to meet with a breeder pretty soon to buy a mini pig and theyre charging 800$ canadian... is that a scam or just average pricing?
There really isn't an average price that I've seen...anywhere from free to thousands! Making sure they're a reputable breeder is really the most important thing!
@@AdriRachelle ill keep that in mind and thank you so much for responding! ❤️
I want a mini pig and for the last 4 years I’ve been trying to convince my parents
My mom doesn’t want it to get big so this was very helpful
I hope it won’t get too big to the point where I can’t carry it around but none the less I will still love it like my own
I never was able to convince my parents :P
They always have the potential to be bigger pigs. It really comes down to doing your research and locating reputable breeders with small pigs, AND still being prepared to care for it regardless of it's size :)
Adri Rachelle
I’ve been doing research for he last 4 years but I think ur videos give me more information because it shows their actual behavior
And ur able to show what to do and not to do
Thank u :)
I'm so glad I can be of some help!! Sharing what I know with other pig lovers has been great!
Great video!! I am researching all about teacup pigs and everything you need to know and trying to convince my parents to let me get one!!
literally same
Me too!!!😂🐷❤️
SAMR
Me as well, they might get me one this year! 🐷🐖🐽❤❤❤😄
Adri, my mini got a small cut on her snout tonite, and although its not big at all im scared of infection. I put triple antibiotic ointment on it but is there something else i should do?? She is an out door piggy. :( Ive done nothing but cry that she got hurt
I'm so behind in comments right now between holidays, family visits, and the move so I'm hoping the little girl is okay!
@@AdriRachelle she is good :)
I have a question they told me i was having a micro pig supposed to be 35 lbs
He is a pot belly and now about 300. I feed him spich and fruit, applesauce is that bad? His name is Hamlet
Oh so is min mine it 300.
Love big pigs :) Just make sure he's getting some grains as well.
Love the pig onsie!!! I wear onsies all the time. 😆
I am so overjoyed they're acceptable for adults now! Lol
@@AdriRachelle i know!
omg❤so so socute🐷❤
大きくても可愛い❤
I have soo many questions!! I myself have always loved pigs an have always wanted one! I saw this whole thing about mini pigs for 1000s of dollars an almost bought into it! Is there anyway i can contact you with the rest of my questions an to get more information on how to possibly adopt? Please let me know thanks!
Of course! I try my best to answer all questions I'm asked..it just might take me a few days :D I'll also be sharing everything I know here over time.
Just want you to know I think your awesome! 🤗
So you can have have adult pigs under 25 pounds!? Where do I get one?!
It's not totally impossible, but it's insanely rare and in many cases can indicate some health issues...so I never tell people go out seeking one with that expectation in mind, to be safe!
I'm trying organic spearmint added into my pigs yogurt since it has been shown to significantly reduce testosterone levels and it has natural antibiotics present in them there have been test for using it in pigs but it was inconclusive. Nevertheless if it has a chance of keeping him smaller by lowering testosterone, and improving his temperament from that same result as well having medical properties I don't see why I shouldn't give it to him. He was neutered and it was like his behavior took two steps backwards. He also started humping his blankets when he has never done it before
That's wonderful to know - I haven't looked into it myself but absolutely will. I love more natural alternatives for both my pets and myself!
I love your videos it helps me a lot. 😘😍
i have some questions!!! 1. do you sleep with your pigs? 2. do they sit on the sofa with you, or any seat... we have a 5 month old juliana who is about 12ish lbs.. and her feet are like daggers! my 5 year old screams that "ruby's dagger feet are stabbing me!" obviously as she gets older... its going to hurt more! or maybe since her feet will be bigger... less? im not sure... 3. is it normal for them to shed allot?? thank you! i love your channel! im from toledo ohio area...so not far from your home state!!
I definitely sleep with them. Not ALL of them, obviously :P They also are welcome on the couches/chairs but generally they all prefer the big bean bags I keep in most rooms of the house. Hooves are always going to be uncomfortable, and definitely get worse the bigger they are.
Some of mine totally blow their coats in the spring, and some hardly shed at all! As long as it isn't caused by excessive scratching it isn't too alarming.
@@AdriRachelle oooo, ill have to get some doggie beds or something for when she gets older, but she just LOVES to snuggle 💗
I HAVE ONE JUST LIKE THAT!! (the pig onsie) 😆❤🐽🐷🐖
I love pigs so much as well, you remind me of me 😊 because you're so obsessed with pigs. I am to 😂 your videos are so helpful thanks so much!
That's awesome! I can't believe how many pig lovers are finding my videos :) So glad I get to share my pig family with you!
Isn't the size of any porcine dependent upon what it's fed? My understanding is that pigs/hogs/boars are some of the rare animals with this trait. Am I wrong?
Their diets can alter their size, but only in the way any animals can. You can certainly stunt or stimulate their growth, make them skinny or obese, etc... based on what they eat. However, it always has repercussions when they are over or underfed.
Where do you get these pigs? I want one!!!
I'll be getting one shortly, she's being potty trained, something the breeder does to help the learning curve of owning one. I seen her already, black with white Sox. Can't wait. Nice channel 👍 subd
That's fantastic! I always love when breeders spend time socializing and training them. I've done it before and know it takes a lot of time and dedication on their part - so good for them (and you)! :)
Fields Family Where are you getting your pig from?
UGH SQUEEE!! Theyr'e so freakin cute!!! Am i the only one who wants a *BIG OINKER* of a pig? Why does everyone want animals to be smaller and smaller these days? If you want a small pet then get a small pet. I have two jack russells and theyre itty bitty to my eyes and without gross amounts of inbreeding to deform them. Teacup is a fashion term, there is no such thing as a teacup anything. If you paid 5grand for a teacup chihuahua you got screwed and it's a sticking point with me because in my opinion no matter how common the animal before you get a pet you should have done enough research on it to know what its breed group is and its needs. Before every animal i have ever adopted i did months of research. This is why i like animals better than people.
I want a huge pig SO MUCH!!
yaasss
Hey thanks for this info. My buddy Squeakers, who is a 4 year old "micro mini pot belly" also thanks you. We will be watching. 🐽
Hi Squeakers ☺❤!
how can you tell the difference between and kunekune and a juliana in their younger years... i think i was scammed lol... not that i would get rid of her but i want to know what she is so i can tell people when they ask! do you know of any where that does dna testing like they do dogs?
Kunekunes are much harrier, normally, They also tend to have larger ears. It's hard to tell when they're younger though, as normally their hair isn't fully grown yet. On the plus side, they're known for having wonderful temperaments!
May I ask - how much space would a mini pig need? As in assuming it might grow to 50-60 pounds
The nice thing about them is they are fairly lazy. They like to be socially entertained and have their brains stimulated, but they don't need play or exercise like a dog. If the space is big enough for a 50-60lb dog, it's adequate for a pig as well. Keep in mind, I don't personally consider a standard chain link pen suitable for a dog or a pig. But the average size backyard or an apartment space is enough.
I think you are so cute and loving and just a wonderful girl. I do have a question; when I bought my mini-pig Darly the breeder told me to feed her nothing but corn and I didn’t listen to him. When I got her home, I started to feed her homemade salads and Mazuri youth pig food. (Am I doing okay with her diet ? )or should I just give her corn.?.She seems to not like the corn anymore since I’ve been feeding her salads and the Mazuri youth pig food. She 4 months and I’m gonna say about 5ibs. Maybe less. Am I doing okay with her?
The breeder sounds awful, to be honest. Corn isn't BAD for them exactly, but it isn't good for them either. It doesn't have any essential nutritional value. It's just a carb with sugar basically. Mazuri and fresh veggies is great!
I know right, I read that waiting for your input. now she eats so good and I even think she eats better than I do 🤪. So far I taught her to make a circle and come and give me kissies. And I stoped the corn two days after I got her. I have had her for a month now and it’s never ever a dull moment with her. I’ll keep up on tour videos it’s like having pig 101 all day. Love it. Thank you so much 😊
I want a pig but that’s not stopping me from eating bacon that’s like one of the best foods in the world
I have a Juliana Chipmunk mixed pig. He is wonderful 🐷
there are sooo cute no matter how big they get
Yes!!
Please respond. I would love answers
Do you let your mini pigs live in your house? I am almost 12 and I don't want my future pig to take up too much space (my family would go crazy)
How did you figure out the person you buys your pigs from wasn't a scam?
Some of my pigs live indoors, some prefer to be outdoors. The ones I've rescued tend to not enjoy human interaction much and normally haven't ever been inside before. I actually have a whole video about how to find reputable breeders!
Can I paint my mini pigs hooves!!!! If so what do I need to know
You can! They actually make a nail color specifically for pets. I do it in one of my other videos (pig spa day)
I want to live at your house so bad! I miss working at the zoo and being hands on at my Ag college... being surrounded by so many amazing critters ☺️
It's incredible. There's never a boring day for sure :P
Excellent points 👍
What is the height and weight of Grover, Bri and Fran?
Been researching getting a pig and your videos are super helpful! Just trying to sus out the actual size associated with a healthy weight. :)
The only one I'd consider to be full grown and a representation of what an average, TRUE "mini pig" size should be is Fran. Bri, Scarlett, Grover etc.. are exceptionally small and shouldn't really be referenced...they're still growing!
Fran is around 20lbs and a foot tall. Still very small, but also really an ideal height/weight for her. They're all different, her healthy weight wouldnt be right for a lot of my other pigs, that average about 30lbs. Some pigs "ideal" weight is 50lbs or more, there's no one size fits all.
My sister got a mini pig. It gets me girls.
Can you raise young mini pigs in the house and when they get too big or maybe big enough to go outside can you raise them outside?
I know a lot of people who've done this. As long as you have adequate shelter (pigs don't like the cold at all) and they still get plenty of interaction from the humans they've grown to love it can definitely be a viable option.
Adri Rachelle thank you, I’m planning on getting a mini pig soon, to be exact, I’ve got a pig just haven’t bought it home yet, we will in about two months and that’s just something I really wanted to know
how long do mini pigs live for? compared to a normal pig?
They're generally around 13-15 years!
Omg let the endless video watching begin, you gained a new subscriber! ;)
Yay! Welcome :)
I live in Mississippi. Just got my first pig. Well got her for my daughter
Congrats on the new baby!
Thank you
I love pigs.
Only thing all adris vids i have to forward 2 mins b4 she gets to the point
I have been reading and reading- I don't know how to trust a breeder-ugh ! We are ready for a piglet.
If I got a pig would it be ok to live in my house and go run a round my yard for 2hours a day
Absolutely. They are generally pretty content indoors, but getting outside a few hours a day also helps keep them occupied, allows them to root around, and they get to obtain essential nutrients from the soil!
I love pigs! I'm also a pig in the Chinese Astrology. Don't know if that has anything to do with it, but I like to think it does...lol!!
I love that! I wish I was also :P
How do I know it's going to stay small or at least smaller ?is there any way for me to tell that?
There is definitely no way to guarantee it, unfortunately. Seeing multiple generations of fully grown parent/grand parent pigs, all at least 3 years old, can give you a great idea of how big a piglet may be. However, I've seen 20lb pigs who's parents were 80, and 80lb pigs who's parents were 20! Diet and lifestyle play a big factor as well!
Do some very short vids too, like an out take where you are sitting in the pig pen dressed as a pig 9:10 and add 10:10 to it. Great short shot. "Hog wild?"
Lol! That's an awesome idea.
That's my favorite part of the video, personally :)
i’m just wondering bc those pigs look huge... how do they only weigh 10-45 pounds each???
None of them are huge, though I suppose that's relative since everyone has a different idea of what that means. It's hard to give an accurate perspective though...I can tell you none are as tall as my beagle if that helps. I'm sure some weigh 10 or so more lbs, but the average is definitely right around there!
We are looking for a Juliana pig breeder in Florida and we can’t find any at all! Do you have any suggestions of breeders
I'm sorry I don't. Finding a reputable breeder is difficult. I wish you luck!
@@AdriRachelle that’s ok thank you. We ended up finding one and we just bought a pig on Tuesday. She is the cutest!
