In this video, we discuss the 2000s phenomenon of teacup pigs. They're also called mini pigs and micro pigs. Many celebrities purchased mini pigs during the height of their popularity - but are mini pigs even real?

[@iregretthis]

My pig is around 40-60? (I haven’t weighed her in a while) pounds. She is roughly the size of a bull dog fully grown. She stayed small, and pigs can, but it is rare, and it is actually a form of dwarfism in pigs. Mini pigs (at least as far as I am aware) are any pig under 350 pounds, which is a big range. So the term Mimi pig is more of a marketing gimmick than anything, as they are only ‘mini’ in comparison to large meat pigs.

[@iregretthis]

I also just wanted to add on that she was found at a day or two old on the side of the road and brought in to my mom’s workplace (emergency animal hospital). They did not expect her to live (she still had the umbilical cord on and likely did not get and of her mother colostrum). So we took her home anyway and managed to keep her alive, and she is perfectly healthy now! She was not underfed so that wasn’t the cause of her size (she is in perfect weight according to the vet, their stomach shouldn’t stretch out past their hips. Usually pigs end up very overweight. Maybe the lack of pig colostrum made her smaller than her already small breed? We did give her goat colostrum and goat milk which is one of the best substitutes though). Anyway yeah, she is around 3 years old now and is pretty much done growing, and is healthy.

We had a smaller-than normal hairy pig on our farm some years back, he grew up to be about half of what you'd expect a normal one on my area to be, barely reaching our knees where most pigs reach at least half thigh or taller. Could have been a dwarf pig, but I'm more convinced it was due to his origins, since it came from a lineage of island pigs out neighbours where raising. It was still about 40kg at the end of his life!

The word ‘tea cup’ is misleading but mini pigs are real, an actual pig is huge, I don’t think people realise how large a pig really is. The ones people keep as pets are really small in comparison, however on their own they are still big animals.

[@crypticcorvid]

I feel like in shows, a standard pig looks like a small to large dog. In reality, as someone who actually had to take care of them, they're almost as tall as I am (I'm 5', they went up past my waist). They're HUGE and scary imo. They ate about 5lbs of feed a day too. When we butchered them, not even 4 grown dudes could easily pull it up on a pulley system. I could fit inside of one like a tauntaun if it were hollowed out, lmao.

[@teamninjabug8287]

The growth stunting is how the teacup pig is made to keep it the size of a piglet, it doesn't apply to the mini pigs as a whole. Mini pigs like the potbellied are as the association described; even when well-fed, they will stay that 70-150lbs size. They were bred that way and were not the result of neglect. The 'mini' comes from the fact that they're mini compared to actual meat pigs which are the huge 600+pound ones. Mini pigs are still big dog-sized animals.

[@zacharyhenderson2902]

I'm back in the '70s and '80s. Everyone wanted a pot belly pig. They naturally stay relatively small, compared to most farm breeds. There are also breeds of pigs, like the kune kune among others, which don't go bro. Quite as large as others. Having said that, they are still big, massive

[@citrus_sweet]

I've always lived relatively close to farms and I remember on one school trip they took us out and I tried to pick up a piglet. Couldn't do it. I asked one of the workers if he could too and he couldn't either. Once, a few years ago, I went to a rodeo and they had a piglet race and one of the pigs escaped the corral and I just straight up couldn't pick them up so I had to kinda push it back towards its buddies which took forever because they're so heavy and stubborn. And these were all babies. I'm not even going to mention the adults which are practically living mini-boulders. I can understand why someone would want a manageable little piggy because they're so intelligent and very cute but I think the best case scenario would just to watch the babies at the local farm run around unless you have a big plot of land and can afford a pig I guess.

[@prasetyodwikuncorojati2434]

So true. Pigs maybe look dumb and lazy, but they actually far smarter than they look and can be extremely dangerous especially for adult specimen. No wonder most pigs that used in live action movies are one that still piglet because it was much manageable

[@SharkNinjaBlueStar]

I would say the answer would be "kind of." There are breeds of pig that are smaller when fully grown than your standard barnyard pig, but that's not really saying much when your normal pig can weigh up to around 600 pounds.

[@prasetyodwikuncorojati2434]

Certain wild boar population from Southeast Asia grow no bigger than medium sized dog, only much plumper. But of course being a wild boar no one of course want to make it as household pet.

[@raccoontrashpanda1467]

Those pictures of fully grown pigs still look pretty small for a pig. I'm pretty sure they are mini pigs if they are really fully grown as regular size pigs get to twice that size or more.

[@scrunglenut6222]

kunekune pigs are actually legitimately bred to be small because the maori and other pacific island people have been breeding them for millenia to survive in small spaces. they are one of the recognized breeds of minipig. males can get up to 400lbs, but females are usually around 150 at full size and fed well.

[@MermaidMakes]

A key part of the puzzle to “are mini pigs real?” is knowing how HUGE regular sized pigs are. Pot bellies are “small” by domestic pig standards….. but larger pig breeds are GIGANTIC. I’m glad you differentiated between mini and teacup. I wouldn’t call any pig mini, but there are much smaller pigs than what you’d see raised on a farm for meat.

Why can we breed dogs to be as diverse as they are, but not other animals?

[@shoebill4902]

We totally can, but it's very hard

[@Clb9000]

We can. It just takes a whiiile. We have a variety of chickens, for example. Edit: It's just that, we domesticate dogs for a variety of purposes, and for a long time. Pigs are meant to be big meaty things, for food.

[@jaylcb]

Dogs were the first animals to be domesticated. They've been having their genetics changed by artificial selection for ~30,000 years. Pigs have been domesticated for less than a third of that time, and for the vast majority of that period they were bred for meat, so there was an incentive to make them large and fat. It is only very recently that many animals that were originally domesticated for other purposes (food, work) are being seen as potential companion animals on a larger scale. Unless we resort to literal genetic engineering, which is still in its infancy, the usual way of producing massively different breeds of animals requires millions of generations of purposeful breeding, and pigs are still far from that right now.

[@mhdfrb9971]

1. It's time consuming. 2. It cause more genetic mutation thus more health problems associate with it

[@darkblazeminiatures5819]

The thing is that we've been breeding dogs for specific task for milleniums as for pigs for example we mainly use them for food source so we just rescently started to try and influence their evolutions one example is a russian group of scientist wanted to breed domesticated fox it took about 50 years of intensive selective breeding so it is possible but you it takes time and dedication

[@childofcascadia]

In the 80s I know someone who kept real potbelly pigs called Lon I pigs long before the "minipig" craze. Full grown and fed a normal pig diet they were about 100-150 lbs. Smaller than a farm pig, but they werent house pets like a 50 lb dog. They were strong, solidly built creatures that can be kept on smaller plots of land than a bunch of farm hogs require. The person I knew was vietnamese and imported them from vietnam. Heres the kicker, they are all black and they have a very specific build. They also only stay small if they are actually purebred. 99% of "potbelly" pigs outside of vietnam nowadays are mixed breed and likely to grow huge. And today even in vietnam they are severely endangered so good luck finding one. But yes, they do exist.

[@megangreen271]

[@gabrielvincentelli1254]

To be double check: many mammal’s adults size depends on food availability. They will fatten up AND grow larger if there is lots to eat. Restricting a pet pig diet doesn’t mean starving the por thing. But more research is required.

[@artiomvv569]

Mini pigs are indeed a lie and a scam. Not to mention they're expensive. 1000 $ minimum for one of these is ridiculous, considering that for the same price you can get 3, 8 week old piglets of a regular sized breed of pig such as Large White or Hampshire and enough feed to make them reach market weight of 275lbs within 5 to 6 months , and I speak for personal experience .

[@TWequestrian]

Would there be away to naturally breed smaller pigs over time? Like how dog and goat breeders have bred tinier dogs and goats over time?

[@bellateef]

Well, that's how pigs got that big in the first place. They WERE domesticated from wild boar at some point long ago - they were just bred 'the other way', since the main reason for domesticating pigs back then would be for meat...maybe finding truffles. But that goes for most farm animals that people tend to eat. Dogs on the other hand have had many 'uses" for centuries - hunting all sorts of different animals in different places, herding, protection, law enforcement...simply aiding people in all sorts of ways. And while pigs are very smart and social animals that can also be trained fairly well, their size (and especially the feeding habits that go along with it) simply don't make them ideal pets for most people. Unless you have a huge outside area with plenty of place for them to waddle around and have mudbaths, they really don't belong in family homes. Which means they haven't been bred that way for centuries. The thing about pigs is that they'll keep eating (and growing). Their food supply is usually limited, but still very ample. The average pig probably eats more than is necessary but to get a 'teacup pig' you'd obviously need to drastically cut back, inhumanely so. And that won't change their genetics. Like some of the comments here say, there are instances of 'very' small pigs that stay small without people trying. Those animals probably wouldn't make it out in the wild though. If it's genetics, they could breed with those. But obviously that size is a defect, and is more likely to come with other defects, especially when you start breeding. I reckon the in a lot of cases it's a matter of having been underfed from a very early age or some birth defect that isn't necessarily caused by 'small genes', but something else. I know the same has been done with dogs and cats and lots of other animals. But it's not the most morally sound thing to do, especially with pigs being such intelligent and social beings. More morally sound than putting them in factory farms, I suppose, but still. I get the impression that most people that want a teacup pig really shouldn't have any pets at all, let alone a pig...

[@TWequestrian]

@@bellateef thank you for the info! I take it that you are around pigs alot or just randomly research about animals?

[@bellateef]

@@TWequestrian Oh no, don't take my word for it too much, I'm not an expert, just an animal lover. But from what I know, that's the way it more or less works. My guess is Kunekune pigs and potbelly pigs WERE selectively bred to be smaller and more compact over time. But they're still relatively large animals. I imagine that if there was a somewhat healthy/humane way to make those breeds even smaller...it probably would have happened by now 🤷🏻‍♂️ Look at domesticated cats - there's not nearly as much variety and contrast in them as dogs breeds. I think dogs/wolves have a very adaptable nature, whereas with most animals there are limits to that. Especially if you consider that pigs are clearly 'designed' to eat large amounts of food without much discrimination and grow according to their food supply. That's not the case for most animals, at least not to the same extent.

[@TWequestrian]

@@bellateef lol I get that, I’m an animal lover too! Though I will say that what you’re telling me makes a lot of sense I’ll have to look into pig breeds also, but thanks again for the fun info!

[@gawayne1374]

I suppose you could have wild pigs that are fairly small because they don't get the same amount of food as per pigs

[@bellateef]

Yes, the thing with pigs is that they can grow much larger depending on how much food they eat. Most animals will just get fat, whereas with pigs it will grow their bones and muscles. I'm not sure if that has any effect on their genetics though. And even if it did, it would take a long, long time.

[@randalalansmith9883]

[@darkdeifan]

I mean, they are mini. The dog won't stay a pupper for ever, it'll grow and so will the piggy, but the marketing of them is either misleading or false. Most people just aren't aware that a common adult pig is a MASSIVE beast, a non-neutered male pig can *easily* weight like 200 kg (440 lb). So yes, I guess it's okay to call something that weights half of the original a mini-version. Dude I wish there were 10 kg (20 lb) pigs, I so would have one as a pet.

Oh, yeah. I'm the behaviorist at a large open intake animal shelter, and I have a solid agricultural background. We get one or two "teacup" pigs that weigh 200-500 lbs annually, and I get to be the one that deals with them and arranges rescue for them. Most of them are tame enough, just really stubborn and slow. One was actually litter-box trained using a huge kiddie pool full of sand and straw. But there were two that were actively aggressive and tried to take me out, and I weigh 100 lbs soaking wet. Their bites can shatter your long bones, I tell you what. The concept that mini pigs need to be starved during development is true in my area, and breeders are open about this. Buyers are sent home with feeding instructions. But most of our previous owners fed them a healthy diet, and they became MASSIVE.

[@NapalmKitty]

They do exist, but they are very rare. Most mini pigs out there have been bred with other larger breeds. The teacup pig also has nothing to do with the pig fitting in a teacup. One of the first owners of a miniature potbellied pig in the US had a pig that liked to drink tea out of a teacup and that’s where it came from. What you want to look for is a foundation miniature potbellied pig. Always meet the parents, grandparents and great grandparents and ask for their age. Reputable breeders will show you the lineage, their living ancestors and give you weight approximations. How do I know for sure miniature pigs exist? I have a foundation miniature potbellied pig and she’s 1 year old and 16lbs. She’s not starved and fed the 2% amount of her total body weight according to mini pig feed charts plus her snacks. I met her family all the way up to her great grandparents and they are all under 25lbs.

There are actually several breeds of mini pigs, the pot belly, the gottingen, the Julianna, the Choctaw hog, and the kunekune, which vary in weight from 70-150lbs

[@mommachupacabra]

Kune Kune pigs are kinda small - sows at 60 to 80 lbs, boars about 125% of that. American Guinea Hogs are "small" but only in that the sows can do 75 to 150 lbs, the boars... we were raising that breed; Mr. Pig was probably 260 or more; Meyer and Oscar about 225 to 250. And they're considered a Lard Breed, which means yes, they're gonna pack on fat if you feed them with that in mind. The whole concept of "teacup pigs" means if you restrict the feed, you're gonna have pigs that scream like jet engines - literally, look up the decibel comparison - whenever they see food anywhere. Behaviorally they're a mess because their brains are developed most strongly around smell and taste, and rooting is what they do to relax and enjoy themselves.

@@raccoontrashpanda1467 Maybe do some research there friend! It's not just Tank size though, it's availability of food etc. But it is in fact true! Google it!

​@@raccoontrashpanda1467 yeah on top of the fact that goldfish need plenty of space and filtration, a lot more than the people at pet stores will tell you sadly 😢

My childhood neighbors had pet pig who wasn’t any longer or taller than most dogs. Was she special case?

80 kg is a small to medium size dog only if a bear is a large sized dog

minipigs are like bonsai trees... they are mini untill you plant them into real soil =)

[@BryceGarling]

I think it could be rephrased better. There are dwarf breeds but not mini breeds. Natural is subjective because you can use mutations to breed for smaller but it has to be done with people in charge and not natural selection.

Ah so like bonsai
