Mini Pig Keeping for Beginners

You saw the video. A tiny pig, no bigger than a Chihuahua, curled up in a teacup. It snorted, wiggled its ears, and your heart melted. Then you started reading the comments. Somewhere, someone said: "They don't stay that small." And suddenly, everything felt uncertain.
You have questions. Will your pig actually stay small? How do you find a breeder you can trust? Can you potty train a pig? What will it cost? How long do they live? The internet gives you fifty different answers, and most of them come from people trying to sell you something.
This book is different.
