Pocket Pigs: Sweet Companions For Pet-Lovers!

They have wrinkled little nose, large ears compared to their body size; appealing color, funny tricks…I am talking about little pigs which are grabbing people’s heart rapidly. “Micro-pig is a perfect pet”, said Jane Croft, a breeder at Little Pig Farm

Whatever you call them…piglets, mini pigs, pixie pigs, pot belly pigs, pocket pigs…one thing is certain…These are the cutest pigs you will ever glimpse!

Small is Beautiful

As the name suggests, these are tiny creatures, much smaller compared to regular pigs .In height, they can grow around 14 inches and weigh around 30-65 pounds. They attained their full growth in 2-3 years and have an average life expectancy of around 15 years.

These pigs are exceptionally clean. Even people who are likely to catch allergies easily will not face any difficulty with tiny companions. Reason being their skin is similar to ours only and it is near to impossible that they will carry and pass-on allergies.

Intelligent Companions

Believe it or not, these pocket toys are very intelligent also. Some people consider them as competitors of dogs in intelligence level! Keep in your bedroom; they will never make it a mess. Their affectionate and highly social nature is bound to surprise you. Can you imagine any pig enjoying TV and FM with you? Take these pigs at home; you will get this unique experience also.

Things to Take Care

You need good pet care to maintain their activeness and social nature. Play with them, keep them active. Else they would become lethargic, lazy and a bit aggressive also. At times, you may feel that they are challenging you as an owner by doing against what you say or by other such activities. But there is nothing unusual in it. Initially many pets behave this way. You need to train them properly how to respect their owner and others. Make sure you don’t punish them physically. After all, they are animals only and may take time to learn and understand. Instead, it’s better to keep them motivated by providing healthy food and involving them in some tricks like playing with ball, sitting on order etc.

Having a tiny pig at home is similar to having a little kid at home. They require special attention, especially when it comes to food. They are very fond of food and have the capacity to eat endlessly, so it’s your duty to take care of their diet. After all, maintaining pet health is your foremost responsibility. To prevent them putting on excessive weight, they should be kept away from kitchen and their favorite dishes. You should also provide them proper space to run else they will become obese!

Lot of celebrities including Paris Hilton, Victoria Beckhem, and Rupert Grint have purchased these little animals to grace their homes. If their novelties have attracted you also, take a cute tiny pig at your home and enjoy with this unique friend!
