Altering Potbellied Pigs

UNCONTROLLED BREEDING

At this time, there is an overabundance of potbellied pigs in sanctuaries and shelters. People get these pigs when they are cute and tiny and have been told by some breeders that they will stay cute and tiny, but that is not true (see: Myth vs. Fact). Another reason is because people get these pigs on impulse and have not done their homework nor become educated on proper care, feeding, housing or health issues of these pigs.

Also go here for an article on the so-called advertised "Teacup Pigs" (another MYTH!!).
