I really really want one as a pet. I have been doing some research, but I am still not getting very solid answers.
1.) I would like to know how big they get ( both male and female ). Like what is their full grown size? Bigger than a beagle? Smaller than a Rottweiler?
2.) Are the expensive to keep? ( i.e. over 200$ a week on food? )
3.) What is the best kind? ( Vietnamese Potbelly or just a regular?)
And any other information that you would think necessary or helpful,Thanks!

What can I use to get rid of ticks? Are standard tick shampoos safe to use on a potbelly?
Well I actually just got him, he was raised in the house but had been kept outside lately. We’ve brought him back in the house (first time pig in the house, and I must say I’m very impressed with his manners!) but anyhow, since he’s going to be in the house a lot, I really just want to eliminate them right away.

My mom and i went to a pet store. We saw a sign that said we carry exotic pets. so we went in and they have the most ADORABLE potbelly pigs. small then a normal sized puppy. they are only 0 but i think it may be wierd if i had a pig. image it like this. a group of kids. one says i have a dog, another says i have a cat, another says i have a fish, and i say i have a pig? i think it may be kinda awkward.What do you think? would you get a pig?
forgot to add they dont grow much bigger than they are now. they are like teacups, but thats not what its called

I’ve really wanted a potbelly big, but I don’t know how big they get! I live in the city, so it can’t be very big. I’ve heard people say they can get up to 500 pounds! I really need to know the real size of theses pigs.

I really want a potbellied pig. And no, I am not an impulse buyer. I have done a decent amount of research. The only thing that faced me with a problem was that on one of the sites I visited, it said that a potbelly should never be near a dog. But other sites beg to differ. Anyone have any ideas?

And on top of that, does anyone have any reasons why you wouldn’t want a pig, so I can think about why maybe I shouldn’t get one?
