Cypress Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 My girlfriend talks about her gay teacher that has a mini potbelly pig. Apparently they only get up to 25lbs. The main thing you can learn from what I've just told you is...he's gay. I'm just sayin' that if you bought a chihuahua then you'd automaticly be in the same group that carries them around in their purse. We have sterotypes for a reason.

Steve Butters Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 I don't know that I will get one was just trying to get some info from someone that is not trying to sell one...read the two links i posted....lots of info there....does she just want something "different" or is there a reason she wants a pig?

conn-e-rot Posted June 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 From what I found they range from 60-175lbs but there are some extremes in both directions 60lbs wouldn't be bad but 175lbs but I also just found a page that says a lot of towns have ordinances against pigs so it may be out all together. I don't know she's been asking and I just started looking for info this morning the more I read the less appealing they become Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypress Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 and cypress - everything im seeing says 100-125lbs is the average weight for a miniature potbelly pig....not sure where youre seeing 25lbs....(it says that a 100lb pig is about the size of a 40lb dog though)http://www.pigs4ever.com/PotBelliedPigInfo/size_weight.htm Oh...I have no clue, man. That's just what I was told. Maybe they meant it as his pig is currently that big? I know it's currently a baby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's currently a baby.oh ok...wasnt sure if there was a different breed and i was looking at the wrong ones or something lol....it says some people starve them and keep them little, guess thats why you see small ones sometimes....and yea they probably meant its currently that size who knows lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Butters Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 buy her something small that is "unique" like a chinchilla or a hedgehog or a snake or something....something easy to take care of that isnt gross like a pig lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
