What’s a Micro Pig?
Piggies from the UK
Pignic’s micro pigs are small and healthy, born from mother and father pigs who are originally from a farm in England.
Micro pigs are not a specific breed, but rather a name for miniature pigs that weigh between 18 and 40 kilograms when they are adults.
You can see the actual pigs at the pignic farm.
Our Micro Pig
pignic’s micro pig “pig-chan” is of two breeds.
One is the “Pot-belly”, which has a cute chubby body shape and a wide variety of colors, and the other is the “English purebred” , which has a long legs, tight body shape and beautiful black fur.
Pot-belly
Pot-belly (also known as Vietnamese potbellied), as its name suggests, is characterized by its chubby, round body shape and cute face. They are native to Vietnam and come in a wide variety of colors and patterns. Many of the micro pigs in Japan are of this breed.
English purebred
Compared to the Pot-belly, they are tighter, longer legged, and larger ears and eyes. They have a lot of hair and are resistant to cold. The origin of this breed is a miniaturized version of the English Berkshire pig. It is a rare breed in Japan. They have black, striped, and dotted patterns derived from the Berkshire breed.
