No, not really. The craze for teacups went wild in Europe. when those pigs got 140 pounds, people were shocked! large pot bellied pigs can get 250+ pounds. we breed mini pot bellies. Much time and effort has been spent to breed the smallest, yet healthiest of our pigs to get the smallest and sweetest dis positioned babies. You can expect one to be 50 pounds and up to 75 pounds, full grown. We tell our families to expect a cocker spaniel the first year and a Bassett hound in year 2, with the possibility of a small Lab in three years. our females are 20 pounds now, and are 8 mos. old. they grow 2-3 years. The teacup craze is carried over to Texas and California, where you can buy a "T-Cup" pig for $1000.00.
I know someone who got theirs from "Texas Tiny Pigs" and he, Hamlet is now 18 mos. and 75 pounds. Still got some time to grow, yet. I don't think she cares though, she is in love with him, and he's adorable.
