Hey Ya'll.. please ignore the people in the comments trying to educate you on what my pig is or isn't. Winnie is a Juliana pig. Juliana pigs tend to be around 50lbs when they are full grown. I have also seen her parents, neither are over 60lbs. Could she be larger than her parents by a bit? Sure. We are prepared for that should that happen. That is a reality that we're both OK with financially speaking and as far as our land goes. A "mini pig" is NOT a breed of pig, it is simply a descriptive way to describe how large they believe the pig will be based on it's BREED and how large it's parents are. For example. a "teacup" yorkie isn't a breed. It is simply a yorkie (who TENDS to be a smaller breed) that's bred from two smaller parents. Could that yorkie end up being a bit bigger than their parents? For sure. It's happened! Same with pigs. HOWEVER there are also people out there trying to sell baby pigs from a farm hog and call them "mini pigs" in order to make money. Many people try to keep their pig small by underfeeding as well, this is NOT OK. Also, on the flip side, people's pigs end up getting much bigger (obese) because they are not feeding them properly and/or feeding them too much. So if you're going to be buying a baby pig and you're hoping for one that will stay small...a few things to ask/consider: How large are the parents? Are they on-site? Can you see them/meet them? Are you willing and able to keep the pig outside should the pig end up getting too large to keep inside and/or if the pig chooses he or she loves being outside more than being with people? What KIND of pig is it? IS IT a Juliana pig?? americanminipigassociation.com/mini-pig-breeds/juliana-breed/

We absolutely need more pig content! Love her and love the name! I’m even down for pig content on your main channel lol.

Winnie is the cutest! I always know you will give us the real truth. Love this.

YAY! I finally got to watch this! She is so sweet! I love piggy eyes and their lashes~ They just look so darling ❤ I was saying to you how a grated litterbox will help (especially since you are using wood-based pellets. Piggies are "clean" as long as you keep up the daily cleaning chores (definitely like rabbits in that sense). How's the rooting? or flipping over water bowls? Lol!! That was something that happens too as they start to explore their space and find toys out of everything! Especially fluffy beds like she has~ The pigs I would care for would root so much on their fluffy beds until the seams busted open and then the REAL fun began!!

This person Toby is incorrect. Winnie is a Juliana pig. Juliana pigs tend to get around 50lbs full grown. Pigs don't just keep growing and growing like this person is claiming. If you are feeding them too much, or incorrectly or things they should not be eating that can happen. However, I have YET to see a juliana pig reach 200lbs..... a "mini pig" isn't a real breed of pig, just like a "teacup" yorkie for instance is not a real thing. It's a descriptive word to describe how large they THINK the animal will be, based on the breed and the animals they bred IE how large the parents are. There are people out there trying to pass off baby pigs of another breed as "mini pigs" and people buy them without knowing what they're doing and without ever seeing the parents are asking the right questions and they end up with a giant farm hog.

@@Sylentwulf Again - that's just not accurate information you're spreading. I'm guessing you do not have juliana pigs "around" there if you have a pig that's gaining size like that every single year, that's NOT a thing unless you're overfeeding. I have never once seen a juliana pig that's 200 pounds. Winnie's parents are both under 60lbs, the likelihood of winnie being over even 70lbs is highly highly unlikely. IF for some freak reason she was that large, I have considered all aspects and that's something we're prepared to handle. But to come on here and tell someone who's asking (they asked me btw - not you) that my pig is going to be 200+lbs full grown is not accurate, not true and based on zero facts and that random number you typed out is 150 pounds MORE than the average size of a Juliana pig.

You don't think k that pig could push that fence out

Ultimately pigs are herd animals. (Highly intelligent herd animals) Every member of the family. (Dogs cats kids ) will be sorted by the pig into an order. As such they will constantly try to move up the pecking order. Kids and animals will be seen as siblings and will try to set themselves above the pack. You and hubby will be alpha and beta. And pig will occasionally try to take the alpha spot. You have to be firm Pigs will bond to one member of the family. Generally the alpha. Just saying as a pig owner. Be watchful of kids and pigs interaction. Don't let em go unattended. Just fyi

Just wondering why winnie isnt outside, since she was outside at her other home, Winnie is so cute,

@KristenLeanneVlog

Жыл бұрын

Because she is a house pig... and does go outside daily. If she wants to live outside, we'll make that happen.

Whuts on youer neck?

Please remember, she is going to be 100-200 pounds when fully grown, and DENSE. Piggies are dense. Firm, round, and fully packed. Not like a dog. Maybe like the more sinewy cats, but much bigger. Make sure you learn how to trim her hooves and tusks, or find a Farrier who understands pigs. Also rip out the AstroTurf and grow a real pasture for her.

Treat her like you would your kids. At boundaries. Let her know you are the parents. Don't allow her to get away with bad behavior. I have an indoor pig named Ollie. He's fully potty trained, 4 years old. Never give your pig any meat... it changes their brain chemistry and makes them aggressive. Horse treats are great and cheap snacks... & no meat. Give her weekly baths to get used to water, and file/ trim hoofs weekly.. also to get used to it. Get her fixed to avoid attitude issues... as soon as possible. In the winter, a kiddie pool filled with bounce house balls is a life savor. Air popped popcorn is a healthy snack. We have also found that people food can make them highly aggressive.

She will push you the 1st year to see if she is the boss. 95% of pigs are surrendered in the 1st year because their owners don't set firm boundaries. If she's being bad, put her on a time out. Don't hit her.... but treating her like her momma (grab her ear) works wonders to get her attention quick. It's better to train her when she's little, then try when she's 115lbs and trying to run your house

Breeders should just drop the word “mini” and go by the breed name. “Juliana pet pig” for example. Mini is inaccurate and misleading.

Nothing about a throat tattoo is appealing to me. Someone who has no tattoos is more of an individual these days.

Oh, yay another person who picks up a ““ mini pig“ not understanding that there’s genetically no such thing as a mini pig. There are so many pigs that need homes because people go and buy or adopt them thinking that they are going to stay tiny there are no specific breeds of pig that stay small, any “mini pig” from any line or litter can grow to ginormous sizes

LOL you're WRONG in that you think I think a "mini pig" is a breed. You're WRONG that you think I believe our pig will 100% stay small. You're right, there is no breed "mini pig" they are juliana pigs that are bred to be small (by breeding two smaller adults) but they could end up being much larger than their parents, just like dogs... or cats.... or humans or literally any animal for that matter. All you can go off of his how large their parents are and hope for the size you want. But no, juliana pigs really are never "ginormous", generally speaking they're around 50lbs (my golden is larger than that). I live on 3 acres... if she's large and wants to be outside, that's what we'll do. I'm more thank equipped phsycailly and financially to handle whatever happens with our pig. Your attitude sucks man. You're obviously ignorant to my knowledge of the subject and clearly know nothing about me. It's ironic to me that people with shitty attitudes like yourself think people will respect what you have to say or give two shits about what you have to say when you speak to people the way you do. Do better.

There's no such thing as a mini pig. They're newborn piglets and are ripped away from their mums. Pigs shouldn't be inside and without other pigs. There are literally hundreds of neglected, abused and sick pigs due to the teacup/mini pig fiasco. You're making it worse by having her in your videos. It's so sad.
