Things to consider before purchasing a miniature pig
If you are looking for a pet Micro Miniature Pig, you may want to look at several factors before you make an "impulse" buy and bring one home.
Make sure that pigs are allowed in your area-usually city zoning does not allow pigs and does not consider them as a "pet" even if they are tiny.
Miniature pigs are smart animals and learn fast. You can put a kitty litter inside the house and teach it to go potty there. Your piglet should have a place where it can play, eat, sleep and go potty. Or if you have a fenced backyard you can make it use a dog door. Because of their inquisitive nature, pigs can get themselves into trouble so never leave your mini pig unsupervised. Predators such as stray dogs, hawks and coyotes will attack an unguarded pig.
Be sure to have a good miniature pig veterinarian, as pigs require regular shots, and have a good pig-sitter on standby in case you have to leave for any overnight trips. Pigs do not require that much exercise but exercise and the proper diet are important to keep you piglet in good physical shape. Never feed your pig "human" food or scraps and do not feel them dog or cat food. There are many brands of Miniature Pig food on the market to choose from and they are specially formulated to keep your pig in good shape without getting obese.
