Why should I make a deposit?
Well, because if you’re considering the adoption of a mini pig – also known as a teacup pig, you have to make a deposit! Another important aspect of adoption of a teacup pig from our farm is the likelihood of having to join a waiting list.
Why should I be prepared to join a waiting list?
Adoption waiting lists for our mini pigs operates on a first come – first served basis. In order to claim your spot on the list, you simply have to put down a deposit!
How much is required to put down a deposit and join the waiting list?
Our teacup pigs require a $275 deposit. Again, this covers the need and your spot on the waiting list. An additional $550 is due at the time your new teacup pig goes to your forever home. Once you place your deposit, we will begin sending you photos and regular updates on your new baby while you waiting for it to be ready. In all, you’ll need to pay a total of $825 for the min pigs alone. Now, let’s take a look at some other things you’ll need to pick up and consider purchasing while you wait on the arrival of your mini pig for adoption and a lifetime of snuggles and cuteness.
What else do I need to pick up or think about purchasing while I wait for my teacup pig to make it home?
There are several things that you should pick up prior to your teacup pig coming home. For starters, you’ll need to grab some Equine Pellets or Feline Pine to use for the mini pig’s litterbox. Our pigs, as mentioned elsewhere, come litterbox acclimated so you’ll be able to make the transition to your home a no-mess situation.
You’ll also want to pick up a kennel for your teacup pig (or pigs). Just make sure that the kennel is accessible from above, is made sturdy, and is easy to fold down for transport.
Another thing you should consider picking up is something to help keep your mini pig entertained! Rooting balls are popular with the pigs or really anything that they can push around. We hear that Rooting mats are also popular with piggy parents. An important aspect of any toy is to ensure that it’s too large for the mini pigs to ingest, as this can cause them to have an upset stomach…or worse.Bonus tip – mini pigs love ball pits!
