Oh yeah, he's still as smart as ever and loves learning new things.Bacon/Ham/Short Ribs is still looking tasty. Still keeping up with more tricks? From the word on the street, I hear "mini" is an understatement and that 500-600 pounds is not unexpected.
Well there is a lot of misinformation out there about what a minipig actually is, thanks to greedy breeders selling anything from potbelly pigs crossed with farm hogs, to any number of crosses and selling them as week old babies claiming they are 8 weeks, etc.
There is no such thing as a micro, a nano, or a teacup pig. Those are all just marketing terms to sell piglets. A minipig is any pig under 200-250 lbs. I added in the extra 50 because a lot of people overfeed their pigs and they wind up obese. And no, pet pigs are not supposed to be obese any more than they are supposed to be underweight. Some breeders tell buyers that if they follow a strict feeding schedule with their special diet, their pig will stay small. Those pigs are starved and stunted and it's the saddest thing I've ever seen. They have a hunched stance, and look awful! Prissy and Pop are examples of famous starved/stunted pigs. Anyways, most minis are mixed breed pigs that generally reach around 100 lbs. Some get bigger, some stay smaller. Truman is 43 lbs and is about as tall as the average outlet height in your home. LOL. Minis are short. Truman is 1 yr and 7 months old. He's a mini x juliana. He looks like his mini mama.
His parents.
And Truman.
