How Big Do Pet Pigs Get

The average that we expect a pet pig to grow is 100 pounds. However, we do have some that top the scales closer to 250 lbs. A small potbelly pig would be closer to 80 lbs. Still, it’s important to realize that a mini pig is any pig that is under 300 pounds.

Are there any pigs that stay small?

There is no such breed as a “teacup,” “micro” or “miniature” pig. It simply does not exist. … Many factors determine a pig’s adult size, and two pigs who are the same size at birth may attain radically different sizes as they grow.

How much does a pet pig cost?

Those cute piglets can cost between $1,200 and $6,500 a pop and can weigh a whopping 200 pounds once they mature. While they may weigh nine ounces at birth, true miniature piglets can grow to an average 65 pounds when adults — not the promised maximum 25 pound weight guaranteed by some breeders.
