I know that there is a mini pig breeder in Canada, who does ship to the U.S.
They have three different sizes : Micro, Teacup and Mini. I would check their site for more info. on prices, etc. They also sell Mini Pig supplies.
They are called We Wee Wee Mini Pigs (I just know this site, because I am from Canada and it is Canadian). Just thought that this might give you an idea on prices and sizing.
These little piggies are soo cute! Good luck!

I have 2 so-called mini-pot belly pigs. One is 56 weeks and one is 6 mos. I also have another pot belly that is 7 1/2 months. There is really no such breed as a mini or teacup pig. They are just pot belly pigs that have been bred to stay small. The smaller, the more expensive. The prices can range anywhere from $50 (for one from 6 mos. up) to $4500 for the teacup.

You can go to hoobly.com and the have pig classifieds on there. There are breeders all over the U.S. Some ship, some do not. I would suggest trying to find one as close to you as possible, as shipping is expensive and hard on the piglets.

There is different breeds of miniature pigs.

Kune Kune

Juliana

Miniature Mule foot

Miniature Pot belly

Regular Pot bellies.

The american guinea hog is also a fairly small pig to me is alot like a solid black kune kune without wattles and are about the size of a regular pot belly

There is also the ossabaw island hog which is also a fairly small hog.

A Miniature pig is most commonly mixed with several of those or just pure.

Teacup nor Micro is not a BREED it is a reference to how SMALL the piglet is when it is born.

Pot bellies can be 150 to 200 pounds in weight. A miniature should stay 65 pounds or under and it is VERY hard to find decent breeders who are not just out to make a dollar.

There are several breeds of mini pigs, and when I say mini they wont fit in the palm of you hand. to find our about the different breeds of mini pigs and pigs as pets visit littlejulianapigs.com and go to the pigs info and pigs as pets page. There are a lot of scams out there. Do a lot of looking around before buying a pet pig Make sure the owners will let you see there adult pigs and post photos of them on there web site. Someone who only shows photos of the babies and wont let you visit there farm for what ever made up resin is a sure sign that something is up. Also any responsible breeder should offer to take a pig back if you are not able to handle it. There are a lot of other considerations check out all of the information pages and get all of the info you can before making a decision.

X2. Heard this before. Where you think you are bringing home a Mini-Pig and then a year later you have a monster. Twice size of your home.

Excellent advise Dennis!

I am about eh an hour and a half North of you in WV. I have 3 smaller pot bellies available. You can come see the parents. They are NOT huge. I'm currently hand feeding the babies. Message me if you are interested. There is a $25 adoption fee because I am spaying the sow. These were dropped off in my yard about a month ago
