Cute little pigs that can fit in your hand. Just a fantasy? Nope. See the piglet on the left? He's Tetley and he's no bigger than your standard tea cup. He's part of the Pennywell miniature pigs recently born on the Pennywell farm, which is famous for breeding these ultra small pigs. Catch more of Tetley and his siblings in the video below (made by Richard Austin, who also photographed Tetley above) and at PHOTOS: MINI-PIGS: POCKET-SIZED PETS @ ABC News or Meet Tetley, the little piggy the size of a cup of tea @ Daily Mail.

are these teacup pigs for sale?
if so how much are they?
kayley: They are for sale at £150 (about 300 USD) each. That's what British TV celebrity Jonathan Ross paid for his pair at the Pennywell farm. In fact, they are bred to be sold as pets.
The Pennywell farm website is currently overwhelmed by visitors flocking to buy/see the pigs. However, I was able to get this piece of text: The new litter of piglets at Pennywell Farm have been delighting the visitors and love to be cuddled.
We have received thousands of enquiries from all over the world from people wanting to buy a piglet for themselves. At the moment there is a waiting list of up to a year and due to the huge volume of enquiries we are no longer able to reply personally.
If you are still interested in owning a Pennywell piglet, please recontact us in about six months time and keep an eye on the website for further updates.
Thank you for your patience.
If you're in the US, you could try contacting this seller. Not too sure if the seller still has the pigs for sale. This seller claims to be located at Osteen, FL 32764.
do you no of anymore sites that sell these pigs?
danny: Sorry, these are the only ones I know of. I suggest looking at the Pennywell farm website if you really want to get one, since that's where the pigs come from.
YOU DOONTTTT WHANT ONE! LOL i have had one and trust me they look cute theyr but wohhh tthey grow as big as a bloody springer spaniel wich is .. wel u can find that out for ur self if u rlly want one lol ....OKEYYY THEYR ABSOLOUTLYYYYY LUVABLEE N I LOVE THEM BUT THEY WONT STAY TINY AND CUT FOR EVER!! but still loook in to itt!!!!
byby thanks
anon: Lol, you speak of them like they're miniature devils in disguise.
wher can i buy one of there little piggies any how much are they??
I've got to be honest - this is a load of crap. Yeah they're really cute NOW but pay attention, they're just piglets and they're going to get bigger and then you have alot of complications on your hands. You bring back a sweet little piglet that you can cuddle and look after but in a year or so they grow up and consume everything in your kitchen, then ofcourse it's "just not cute anymore" so you get bored with it, your kids lose interest in it and you get rid of it. Then there are thousands of homeless pigs being sent god knows where and probably ending up being killed. For one thing - look at the SIZE of those piglet's mother! She's HUGE, and they'll grow just as big as she is now, so think about it.
They are not piglets, if you actually pay attention, it says they are the SIZE of piglets. The farm has been breeding these miniature pigs for 9 years, dont you think that if the miniature pigs grew to be huge, someone would've noticed by now! And not to mention that if a celebrity bought a miniature pig that turned out to be huge, they would definately mention it, esp someone like Jonathon Ross.
I must chime in! I am the owner of a "tea-cup" pig. She was as small as those pictured when I got her - the parents were prettu small too. It turns out that the parents were only 3 months old when they had the babies. Miniature Pigs grown for 3 YEARS. My tea cup pig is 4 years old and 125 pounds.
She is a wonderful pet - but don't buy one unless you are willing to accept the fact the chances are your pig will weigh between 70 and 150 pounds as an adult. My pig lives in the house and is housebroken. Much smarter than a dog. Ask the breeder for references of people who have bought pigs three or more years ago - visit or call them.
I have wanted one of these little piggies for our family. Everything I read says that they will stay little and that they wont weigh more then 20 to 50 lbs and the I get on here and people say that they will weigh up to 100 lbs what is true.Plaese someone tell it how it really IS
i am realy interested in buying 4 teacup pigs, we also have dogs cats and chickens, could you tell me how much it would cost and when they would be available, thank you for your time, ms a perkins.
hi, i'm lookin 1 of them teacup pigs. do u no if there is any at the minute. leanne
I have 2 pennywell pigs. They come from a farm in devon uk.They cost £250 each. The waiting list is now closed due to it being to long. They grow to the size of labardor dogs. I've seen their parents. Their head are much bigger than the dogs with short legs with long backs. They can be house train my girl is. My boy wets everywhere at the moment and has wrecked my laminated floor. They both chew everything look for food all day or sleep. They learn tricks very quickly which is fun. I love them to bits but they do need watching.
Can you ship one to the united stated?? If so how much & how long would it take to arrive here??

how big to teacup pigs get
HOW BIG TO TEACUP PIGS GET
HOW BIG DO TEACUP PIGS GET?
People who are fussing becasue the mini pigs get big are being dumb. Of course they are gonna get big...everything grows up. Kids get big, puppies get big, and people still have them. CHILL OUT!! Treat the mini pigs like dogs and cats and get them fixed and only get one. Not that hard.
are there any smaller pigs when they grow up other than teacup pigs?
are there any teacup pigs that their parents weren't big so they probably wont get as big as a normal teacup. how big do they get? how much are they?
check out this website, http://www.hiddenvalleyrabbitryandfarm.com they have some tiny Mini Pigs, they get between 30-60 lbs, as adults and are awesome we have bought several and so have my family and friends.

Hi i would love to buy one of your teacup pigs. I live in new york and was wondering if anyone in the U.S was selling one or if i could have one shipped in from out of the states. PLease get back to me if you have any information so i could contact you further.

These "teacup pigs", which are so cute are equivalent to a potbellied pig. If you are so interested in buying one, make sure to do your research, so the pig has a good home. Make sure you have the appropriate housing for when you are not at home and it is rooting, because that is what all pigs do. There are quite a few breeders in the US that breed smaller pigs that are even smaller than the "teacup pigs" shown above.
Jaclynn said, "There are quite a

Thank you Jaclynn! Yes. There
definitely are. We are one of
those breeders. I'm not trying to
be unkind or rude or drum up
business for our farm. I'm trying
to keep you from being ripped off,
taken for a ride, bamboozled or
whatever you choose to call it. If
someone is trying to charge you
$1000 - $6000 for a piglet you
better think long and hard about
what kind of person you might be
dealing with. It doesn't matter
what kind of piglet it is. Micro
pig or tea cup pig or any other
fancy marketing name they throw
at you. We have an organic
homestead in SE Missouri and have
been breeding and raising true
minis for going on seven years now.
We have adult mini Swedish White,
Old Spot and hybrid miniature pigs
on our farm. When babies are born
they weigh about 6oz. and fit in
the palm of your hand, but they all
will grow to the range of 15lbs. -
40lbs. That is just the way it is,
and I defy anyone to show me an
adult miniature pig that is any
smaller than that. If you have
questions and want *realistic*,
*honest* answers, please feel free
to e-mail us P.A.B.'s Farm at
angelamcnelly@yahoo.com. Take care
and happy piglet hunting,
Angie. ( : !
Hi, my name is Kathryn and I currently have a minature pot bellied pig. Her name is finley and she is 3 months old, weighing 13 lbs. Her coloring is considered to be extremely rare - the top of her coat is red with white stripes, her underlying belly is pink, and she has black spots covering. She is potty trained and very lovable. I am 16 years old and recieved her as a birthday present. I have a very busy schedule and am not able to take care of her at the pace needed. My mom and I have decided to sell her for $500 - we originally paid over $1000. If you would like more information please e-mail me at dansawoah@yahoo.com.

Anybody who has purchased these pigs three, five or more years ago, please e-mail "real live CURRENT photos" to info@scampp.com so we can get this straight; that's if these teacups lived that long due to being undernourished.

Now do these Mini Oinks actually Eat Granola? I heard that somewhere...
i've been feeding my mini oinks granola for years. This is the secrete to keeping your piggies really really tiny.
hey my name is nytashia. i am looking into getting a pig and had a few questions about their socialization, diet, training, are your pigs, because of breeding them smaller and smaller, prone to any certain health conditions? what their final weight would be? current costs and registration, if needed. i live in Canada.
I had a pig as a pet myself and cute as can be when babies - look like typical pigs in a smaller version when grown. Very smart - I had mine housebroke in a day - not litter trained - house broke. But even though they are smaller than domestic pigs they still can get to be 75 lbs or more. If I had a farm or had one that would truly stay small would get one in a minute - great pets.
hi im lucy and im looking in to getting a mirco pig pet but not sure if i have to have to have a special lience for one or not and if it has to have injections to be able to take for a walk if you could let me im very interested in them

Hey
I am seriously thinking of getting a mini-pig, and just wanted to clear up a few things before I make a decision.
How long can I leave a mini-pig alone in the house for? Luckily I have flexible working hours, but I would still be interested to know
Also, I travel to see family once every couple of months and wondered how well a mini-pig would cope with a 3 hour car journey?
Comments appreciated x

I purchased one of the mini pigs from Pennywell Farm in 2009 for 350GBP and was told he would not grow bigger than a cocker spaniel over the following 18 months. He is now the size of a large labrador, weighs around 15 stone and is still growing! BEWARE, THEY GROW VERY BIG!
nice post..thnks
I just started breeding these little guys in Canada. It was a long painful process to get them here, but they are here. My teacup pigs came from Hidden Valley Rabbitry in West Liberty, Kentucky (www.hiddenvalleyrabbitryandfarm.com) which was featured on the Tyra show and on MTV. She is referring her Canadian customers to me. I am in Saskatchewan and I can ship anywhere in Canada and the US. You can visit my website for much more information at: www.valleyblossoms.com. You can contact me at ashloverin@hotmail.com.
I breed mini pigs, I have some that look like the one pictured above. My parents are all 3 years old and weight 30-40 pounds. I live in southern, IL USA. I have babies for sale now. If you are interested in buying one, you can email me at microminipigs@yahoo.com

i am looking to buy a miniature pig. im looking for a place around the chicagoland area. if anyone know of a place plese email at wwf_kel@yahoo.com thank you!!
I'm a veterinary technician and a potbelly pig owner. There's a few facts people should keep in mind when shopping for a pet pig. First, piglets sexually mature at the age of six months. Second, pigs do not reach mature size till 4 years of age. Third, ALL piglets are tiny when newborns, even the large breeds. I mention these facts so anyone shopping for a piglet doesn't get "taken in" by the numerous unscrupulous breeders who breed very young, still small, immature pigs, then convince unsuspecting individuals that these pigs are micros and teacups, etc...by pointing to the small size of the parents as well as the tiny size of the piglet. Sadly, after a few years most of these pigs reach mature sizes of 80lbs or more and eventually wind up in pig rescues. There are breeders out there who breed Vietnamese pigs, which are the true miniature potbelly pig. Healthy, well bred miniature pot belly pigs will reach a mature height of up to 15 inches tall and weight between 35-70lbs, depending on genetics and diet. My suggestion to anyone who's serious about a pet pig is to go the breeding facility and ask questions. Be sure the breeder can verify the age of the pigs being bred. This can be readily done through veterinary records and vaccine history. Also credible breeders will usually have several generations of pigs for you to examine. Unfortunately, there's more unscrupulous pig breeders out there than credible ones, so do your due diligence.
I'm not trying to talk anyone out of getting a pet pig, I have one and I love him dearly. Pigs are intelligent, clean, and loyal pets. My pig Chester lives in the house, follows me everywhere, loves car rides and belly scratches. I wouldn't give him up he grew to 200lbs. It breaks my heart every time I see one of these wonderful animals sold at auction or left at a shelter, its only crime was growing larger than anticipated. One last comment, for what its worth, I know of 3 people who bought royal dandy pigs, all 3 paid approx #3,500 each, all 3 were piglets were from different litters, all 3 piglets died within the first year from unknown causes. I paid #200 for my mini from a local private breeder, he's surpasses the 1 year mark, he's healthy as can be, and weighs 15lbs
Pig? Lol. Yeah, they're cute. But, they're expensive to buy and care for AND you don't get anything back from them (eg eggs, milk... well, you could milk a pig but it would be really really really hard, and not tasty at all). i have 8 chickens. We got them from an organisation that frees battery chickens. When they first came to stay with us they we unhappy and mostly featherless and layed very large eggs as they still had some of the egg-producing hormones that had been forced into them. Gradually, their feathers grew and the eggs shrunk before (temporarily) stopping, and now our lovely hens are happy and free and lay extremely tasty eggs. My advice- ex bats hens. They are very rewarding and also funny and they are so silly and have persnalities of their own.
If you want to see the mind blowing article with real facts and figures, this has really tremendous impacts on readers.
i really want a miniatue teacup pig or the smallest micro pig. Can someone tell me where the best place is and the cheapest but still a good place not trashy.
most of the breeders who have been mentioned here are not very good breeders froom everything i have read. the pennywell/teacup pigs are huge, the "best little pig house in texas" breeds unhealthy and very large pigs, dandies are also reportedly huge, and hidden valley rabbitry is reportedly in a lot of legal trouble for selling pigs to canada without having them vet checked and licensed. unfortunatly it appears all the pigs that went to canada will now have to be euthanized. There are true minis out there, but you have to make sure the adults are 3yrs old or more and check out multiple generations and adult siblings to the one you are buying before you commit. if the breeder hasn't been around long and is saying they have the smallest or if they refuse to let you see the adults, beware. I have been to a breeder in fla who has pennywell, wolfsden, texas pighouse, teacups, and hidden valley pigs and i don't think one of them weighed under 100lbs full grown and many of them weren't full grown yet and weighed that much. check out the facility before you buy. i do not own any of these breeder's pigs, so here are a few other people's opinions who have purchased pennywell and texas pighouse pigs.
http://thetruthaboutpetpigs-pigtruths.blogspot.com/
http://www.teacuppig.info/pigtures.html
You are very misinformed. I am a breeder in Canada and am in contact with other breeders here, and all of our pigs were imported and tested properly. None of our pigs have had to, nor will be euthanized. Our pigs are small and are staying small at well under 50lbs. and as little as 15 lbs. Have you been to any of these breeder's establishments before you decided to inform others on them ?
You got great points there, so I always visit your site, it seems that you are an expert in this field. keep up the good work, My friend recommends your site.

LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THE MOTHER AND THINK, GUYS.
Ok how much can I get one for? How big does it get?
Thank you for the magnificent post, it have lots of different information. Well done.
Custom made term papers
are there any kinds of pigs that stay small forever?
Hi Everyone,
I'm sure I'll get attacked for saying this, but I'm actually trying to help. Like many of you, I was really interested in getting one of these "little" guys - so cute and seemed like the perfect pet. Unfortunately, after I did a LOT of research, I found out that there have just been too many testimonies about the "micro", "mini", "royal dandie" craze - it's pretty much a scam. As others have mentioned, not only are these pigs sold at an exorbitant price (upwards to $5000), but the pigs advertised are always shown to be babies. Sure, they're teacup sized NOW, but in reality they don't stop growing until they are 4 years old or so. That's why you'll see some really cheap pigs being advertised...because people have bought them, realized they're growing too big, and want to pawn them off on unsuspecting people before its too late!
The ones you see in pictures are always the babies, and if you see that their parents are small too, that's because pigs can be bred at a very young age. So these "teacup" parents aren't full grown yet. You MIGHT get lucky and get a pig that stays around 60 lbs or so, but a lot of people have bought pigs (yes, even from "credible" breeders that have been working on this for a supposed 20 years or so) that can reach up to 200 lbs! Of course, 200 lbs is technically "miniature" for a pig when you consider that farm pigs can weigh up to and over 1000 lbs...
Also, one of the reasons that the pigs look so small is because they are malnourished by the breeders - of course something will look tiny when it's not fed a proper diet. Because of this, they often have a lot of health problems too. There have been a lot of accounts of people only having their "teacup" pigs for a couple of months (or shorter) before they die - these people are both left without a pet and with their bank account balance significantly lower. If somehow a miracle happens and your piggy stays small, it is likely because its been malnourished (those directions the breeder gives you about what to feed your pig is really how to keep it tiny by not giving it a proper diet - its basically being starved), and be aware that even if their size is stunted, their organs continue to grow and can crowd their insides, leading to a short life and a painful death.
Part 2 - Ran out of space
If you are still interested in taking care of a so-called "teacup" pig, check out pig shelters. Many actually exist, and they are absolutely TEEMING with these poor animals because people buy them when they are tiny and adorable and are promised to stay small, and then they are dumped when people realize they can't take care of a 150-200lb animal in their homes.
So please, please, PLEASE think long and hard about this - pigs can be awesome pets but you need to be aware that this whole teacup thing is pretty much a scam by breeders to get a lot of money for something that isn't what they advertise. (Yes, even these "reputable", well-known breeders. There's enough accounts of people who have been tricked by them too).
Say what you will about me being a "liar" or whatnot, and that you've got your heart set on buying one, but if you're going to buy one after you've kindly read my rant, please consider the well-being of these animals and make sure that you can take good care of them when they grow a lot larger than promised.
Here are some accounts of owners, shelters, and others who are concerned with this craze who tell what really happens when these "mini" pigs grow well over their advertised size:
