Vietnamese Pot Bellied - Sir Lancelot And Octaveous - Medium
Octaveous and Sir Lancelot came to Amaryllis at 6 months of age from a rescued sow who bore a large litter. They rode up from Kentucky on a horse trailer.
The brothers stayed on at the farm we rented through July of 2012 and aided in raising awareness of the absurdity of breeding tea cup pigs. Messing with Mother Nature is ridiculous. We have brought in an placed a few pot belly and tea cup pigs, most owners shocked that they retain their inherent farm yard habits. Rooting linoleum flooring doesn't go over well with your adopter parents, lol.
The brothers are neutered and are now going into their 6th year. Both will roll over to have their belly rubbed but neither is a cuddly pet. They are farm animals. They require pretty serious fencing and a specific diet. They also require protection from roaming dogs (we know of a pig who died a hideous death not from the first time he was attacked, but the second group of dogs who wandered into the person's private yard). Very scary. It happens often with mini animals of ALL species.
Their adoption requirements will be mature owner; large, protected and fenced yard they will be unable to root under or push through. They do not need other animals, they have each other.
We can supply the care guidelines. They do not cost very much, they do not eat a lot. Their tusks will have to be soon filed down and their feet require trimming but they are pretty happy guys with a full bath or two to drop in and a good size pen to roam in. Pigs are very clean. They drop manure in one spot only. They drag straw into their house when it is cold and push it out when it is warmer. They are extremely smart.

We wish for a Long Island home. Check with your town, I am aware Brookhaven and other towns have pretty hard core regulations on farm animals.
