What really is the difference between a pot belly pig a tea cup pig a mini pig im thinking about getting one but before you do you want to be very very prepared you need to make sure it stays small?

A pot bellied pig grows to the size of a great dane. A tea cup mini pig grows to the size of a small labrador. You cannot make any pig "stay small". And just a guess by the question, you cannot keep them in a back yard or your house, they will wreck your house and dig up you garden, as well as it being way to small for a pig. They are fairly hard to look after and require training as a bite from a pig could remove a finger, or worse.

I know it sounds fairly grim, but don't get me wrong, I love pigs!

I love pigs too and I've done a lot of research on both the pot bellied pig and the teacup pig. The teacup pig is raised to be a house pet. They enjoy the company of people and other animals. They are also easily trained and friendly when treated the right way as a piglet. Teacup pigs do grow to be about the size of a small labrador. You can tell how big the pig will be by looking at the size of its mother and father. The female are generally smaller then the males. A fully grown teacup pig varies between 30-60 lbs. A pot bellied big is the type of pig you would see at a farm. No matter what pig you get, be sure to consult with your vet to ensure your pig lives a happy and healthy life.
