Types of pet pigs:

1. Vietnamese pot-bellied pig - This small pig is probably the most popular breed today. They have an attractive appearance and a docile personality. Their exaggerated backs and pot bellies (signs of overfeeding in other animals) are completely normal and healthy. Their average height is about 35 centimeters and their average weight is about 45 pounds.

2. Juliani Pigs (Painted Piglets) - These little guys are really small, with an average height of 25-40 cm and a weight of 13.5-45 pounds. Like pot-bellied pigs, they are docile and like to play with toys.

3. African Pygmy or Guinea pig - a real piglet. These piglets weigh about 18-36 kilograms and have an average height of 35-56 centimeters. They are active, alert and intelligent. Compared to pot-bellied pigs, African Pygmy pigs have very straight backs. They like to be close to people they like.

4. Yucatán (Mexican hairless) pigs—these piglets range from small to quite large. The larger varieties can grow to more than 180 pounds, while the smaller ones only average 45-90 pounds. Their average height is 40-61 cm.

5. Ossaba Island pigs - average height 35-50 cm, weight 22.5-81 catties. They have a dreamy temperament, can get along well with people and are very smart. This kind of piglet can live for 25 years, so you can raise this kind of pig from when your children are very young until they graduate from college.
