What is a teacup pig?

There is no such thing as a teacup pig; it was a scam that went way overboard in England, and when everyone there started to find out the truth, the scam moved to the US. Even (but of course not limited to) Animal Planet stated in their Pets 101 Pigs episode that there are NO SUCH THING AS A TEACUP PIG.

There are no such things as micro minis or tea cup pigs. That's not to say there arent gentically small ones, but "teacup" is a word stolen from dog breeders by pig breeders who want to command a higher price and sucker you into buying something that will stay small and they even go so far as to malnurish their piglets to stunt them. You can expect any pot belly pig to mature between 150 and 400 lbs.

When they're born, about the size of a teacup (hence the name). After 3-5 years, they grow up to be about 200 pounds!! In other words, much too big to be a housepet. That is the reason why the are called "miniature" pigs though-- the normal farm pig is a whopping 600-800 pounds.

Beware of unscrupulous breeders or sellers who claim they have teacup pigs. THERE IS NO SUCH THING.

How do you treat lung worms in pigs?

WORMER.... Many available but... I use panacur pellets (1.5%), Fenbendazole 15mg in 1g pellets. From Intervet, pellets are palatable and easy to administer and weigh out if you have accurate gram scales. FIRST: Weigh your pig. Can use heart girth squared (m), multiply by length (m) and then multiply by 69.3 to get weight in KG. ie length from between ears to top of tail, and heart girth round pig behind shoulders. Then weigh out 5g pellets per 15kg of pig weight ( 1g for 3kg of pig if you want to be more precise!) THEN divide the dose into 7 separate doses and feed over 7 days to break life cycle of the worm in the pig. HOWEVER, if your pigs live outside, they are likely to re-infest them selves by eating worms and slugs and snails, which ingest the eggs that your pigs have helpfully pooed out. Rotating pastures is generally helpful, but the worm burden can survive for years. www.thepigsite.com is really helpful for info on pig health and treatments/diseases etc. How do you know they have lungworm??

How do the limbs of a pig differ markedly from that of humans?

There are many differences. The limbs of a pig are of the same circumference on all four legs. The top portion of each of the four legs of the pig are in close to the body because the pig stands on all fours. Pigs' hocks are our heels, which we use as a part of our foot to balance ourselves on two feet. The pig's hocks, however are not on the ground like us but acts as a part of the pig's leg. Pigs also have hooves and dewclaws where we have dextrous fingers and toes. Our legs are more muscular, much longer and broader all the way down to the foot than a pig's is. There is no meat on a pig's back legs past the hocks. Also, the bone in the lower portion of our arms and legs have two bones allowing us to twist our feet and hand to 180 degrees. A pig's lower leg bones are fused, allowing no twisting movement of their legs.

How many nipples are on a pig?

Over the centuries farmers have bred up the pigs to have more teats so that they will be able to nurse more piglets. Pigs have two uteruses and are able to produce large numbers off offspring making them an ideal meat animal. The teats on a boar are an indication of his genetics and how well his daughters will nurse. Thus the old phrase "useless as teats on a boar" is completely wrong. A boar with 16 teats is very valuable, as is a sow with 16 teats.

Average pigs have 10 to 12 teats, some as few as 8 teats.

Good breeder pigs have 14 teats.

Superior breeder pigs have 16 teats.
