Pot Belly Pig

Pot Belly Pigs appear in a variety of patterns in black and white, with a large snout, sharp tusks, and durable hooves. Upright, triangle-shaped ears and a flat tail easily distinguish the Pot Bellied Pig from its distant pig breed relatives. Pot Bellied Pigs are well-known for their bottomless appetites. They are also surprisingly clean and quick to learn. Some have even been trained to use the doggy-door or litter box! Many enjoy being taken on walks using a harness and leash. Pot Bellied Pigs live an average lifespan of 4-15 years, growing from a mere ½ lb. at birth to an average of 100-125lbs. by the time they reach maturity at age 3.
