We had a house pig and it got quite big (still mich smaller than regular pigs) but we never ditched it. Why should someone even do that.

Because a lot of people don’t do research and a lot of pot-bellied pig breeders lie and say that they’re ‘teacup pigs’ (which don’t exist) that are going to stay tiny and cute.

PSA that all mini pigs are just baby pigs that will become big huge pigs that weight 100lbs+ and as much as a 1000lbs.

Because when it gets large it just becomes impractical to treat it like a dog. An adult pig is 6 times heavier than a Great Dane.

At best it gets stuck outside tied to a pole, watching the family through the windows.
