Juliana Mini Pigs

At Countryside Farm, we specialize in breeding Juliana mini pigs. We take pride in our own unique breeding program to create the smallest pigs possible while also producing healthy offspring. We can not promise a certain size or weight as diet and exercise, as well as the overall health of your pig, plays a huge part. However, we can give you a truthful size for parents and an estimated size for piglets. Our average adult pig weighs 20-55 lbs. and ranges 10-16 inches in height.


Common names for these small piglets are teacup, micro, nano and even pocket pigs even though these are made-up names used to describe a mini pig.


Our mini pigs make great pets, emotional support and companion animals! They are clean, almost odor free, litter box trained, like to play, love belly rubs & affection, can be leash trained, are extremely smart, and they love people and most other animals! More so, pigs are friendly and get along well with cats, dogs and children, making them an ideal companion for families readily prepared to welcome an exotic pet into their home.


According to experts, pigs are one of the smartest and cleanest domestic animals. Pig cognition studies have proven that pigs are quick learners — as quick as chimpanzees — and can memorize routines, learn tricks (jump hoops, bow and stand, spin, roll, play video games with joysticks and more) and be potty trained.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Will a mini pig walk on a leash?

    Yes, you can use a harness on a mini pig and teach him or her to walk on the leash. It takes time and patience, but can absolutely be done!

  • How long do mini pigs live?

    A mini pig can live anywhere from 12-15 years if kept nice and healthy, assuming there are no underlying health issues.

  • Are mini pigs hypo-allergenic?

    Technically no. There is a small percentage of people who have reactions from mini pigs. However, most people, even if they are allergic to cats and dogs, do fine around mini pigs.

  • Can I come visit your farm?

    Yes absolutely! Our farm is located in Lakeland, Florida. Price depends on your group size; book your visit online today! Click here to RSVP!

  • Can you potty train a mini pig?

    Yes, our mini pigs come potty trained. However, you can read more about supplies you will need to instill that behavior in your new home here.

  • Who can watch my pig when I’m traveling?

    Mini pigs love being around their owners. Miniature pigs are herd animals and they want to be with their “herd.” But, the occasional vacation is no problem! We recommend that all our customers visit Rover.com to find a pet sitter in your area.

  • Do mini pigs make good indoor pets?

    Mini pigs make good indoor pets! However, they love to bask in the sun, root in the dirt and spend time outside. You should get a mini pig with the intention of providing both indoor and outdoor time. If a pig were kept strictly indoors, it would ultimately be a very unhappy pig. We need to fulfill them as a breed and give them what they truly need, not what we as people want.

Feeding

Click here to download our guide. This is only a guideline of how much to feed your mini pig by weight but not a personal recommendation for your specific piglet. Please keep in mind, not all pigs are the same. You will need to adjust your feeding as necessary. There are many brands of mini pig feed on the market, but if you are unsure of what to buy, we use Mizuri Mini Pig Food or Nutrena Mini Pig Food. In addition to a formulated diet, you can also feed a variety of fruits and vegetables. I recommend limiting fruits as they are high in sugar content. Treats are also encouraged, especially for training! Examples of treats used in moderation are Cheerios, peanut butter and unsalted popcorn. Please research what pigs can and cannot consume before feeding, as some foods can be harmful. Pigs will literally eat anything but it doesn’t mean they should!


Vet Care

Please do your research and find a vet in your area that will care for pigs. It is better to have a vet established, rather than needing one in an emergency. If you are local, we have some great vets we can recommend.


Piggy Care Guide

Click here to download our guide. We have put together a few important tips for your new journey on becoming a new piggy parent! As always we are only a phone call away if you have any questions or concerns. We don’t stop caring once the piglet leaves our farm. We will be here for you every step of the way. No questions are too silly or bothersome. We stand behind our lifetime pig assistance and are here for our customers and pigs for years to come.


Weaning

Our piglets are weaned around 6 weeks of age. All piglets are different and some need more/less time than others. We do not promote bottle feeding. It is important that our babies get the proper nutrients from their mother’s milk. We monitor our piglets after weaning to ensure they are eating on their own before they leave our farm.

Care Packages

Pig care package

We do offer pig care packages that provide everything your new pet piglet needs for a comfortable and stress free transition.


*Please note: Items in care package may vary.*

Spay/Neuter

We offer neutering for your piglet before they leave our farm. We do not offer spaying service at this time. Neutering is done by a professional and piglets are monitored for a minimum of 12 hours before leaving after surgery.

Vaccinations/Deworming

All piglets are dual dewormed with ivermectin and safeguard before going to their new home. Sometimes our piglets are also given a coccidia prevention. Vaccines are optional for each customer.

Pickup/Boarding

Once paid for, your piglet can be picked up at our farm or shipped. After purchase, we will hold your piglet for up to 7 days. There is a $25 boarding fee for every day after that. If you do not arrange to have your piglet picked up or shipped after 14 days, you will forfeit your purchase. In any circumstances under which we have to board your piglet, there will be a $25 per day boarding fee.

Size Guarantee

There is no breeder who can guarantee the final adult size of your piglet. We can, however, go off of parent sizes and get a really close estimate of what a piglets’ size will be. With this being said, once the piglet leaves our property; the way it is raised, fed, given treats, and exercised ALL matter. Our pigs have small genetics, yes, but if a new owner doesn’t allow for exercise and feed an appropriate, healthy diet, it can make for an overweight pig.

Note: It is important to check with city government regulations before bringing a pig into your home as a pet, as they are considered to be livestock according to the USDA. Many cities do not allow pet pigs inside the city limits. Please contact your local city office or look on their websites for animal ordinances, keeping in mind that a pet pig will most likely fall under their livestock regulations.
