mini pigs

what are these new mini pigs

and do they make good pets

and is it cruel??

Don't know much about them, nothing at all really, but from what i've read you'll need at least a really well fenced garden which you're really not all that concerned about as they can and will root up the entire area, as well as making every effort to escape. As cute as they are and as small as they'll stay I wouldn't recommend having them as house piggies at all.

Looking at pics though they are unbelievably cute, but I'd assume they are very high maintainence,and if you live in a town and should you need a vet for them at any stage, would your average vet know anything about pig husbandry?

Personally I'd stick to just looking at piccies of them.

The old minipigs I am aware of is those used by the Geodisians to keep warm and initiation outsiders. They stand in a circle and throw the minipig to one another shouting: "minipig!"

I am unable to find their wiki page, but I will, it is very rare for me to be able to speak of the Geodisians.

All the best,

Another money making scheme at the sad end of animals,they are charging £700 a time.After the publicity it will more than likely reach £1,000.

According to one article I read, they need enormous amount of attention, nearly 24/7, and their max. approx size is 35#. They were'nt recommended for someone who has a day job.
