Her mom is about 40 pounds, dad about 60 - so she will be in that range as long as she is on a healthy (no junk food, low fat diet)

I have seen pigs run races for oreos.:eek: I take it they can have a sweet tooth if you let them?

wow, only 40-60lbs? I had 2 Vietnamese pot bellies and the bigger one was around 200lbs and the smaller one around 150lbs. And no, if you are wondering, I didn't feed them donuts except as a very occasional treat:) They were actually very lean and muscular and hard as rocks.

the standard size do get to be that big, but from what I understand the true minis are smaller - her parents were fully grown too.



and yes! they have a sweet tooth - she only gets fat free animal crackers as a treat and the mini pig pellets in the morning/evening and fresh veggies at mid day - so far so good except for those carrots :cool:


she has learned that I keep the cookies in my pocket and will try to root in there and help herself :lol:

She is a little doll, and you will so enjoy her! They are very intelligent and I loved my boys very much. I can't really remember anything they wouldn't eat. One of the nice things about pigs is you never have any produce go to waste.
