Pot Bellied Pigs of Critterhaven

Our Pot Bellied Pig History: It all started with Ms. Piggers. My brother in law found her at a local flea market, bought her and her brothers, and I picked her out to keep. Well from there it went to acquiring three other little girls. I found a home for one of them but decided to keep her sister and her half sister. Piggers has since gone on to a friends house up the road...but she is still a part of our family. Then came Cheetah and Tarzan into our life, and we truly discovered the joys of pot bellied pig ownership. Tarzan went on to another farm to be a breeder pig there, so Cheetah became our only pig.

7-22-09 I was not going to breed Cheetah again. I will not have a male intact pig on the farm. They don't mix with baby goats. But a male from one of our previous litters (not Cheetah's) paid Cheetah a visit a few months ago, and on 7-20-09 Cheetah gave birth to 4 boys and one girl. We are retaining the runt and going to have him neutered as a companion to us and his mom. He will take his mom's place at the petting zoos, as she is getting older and larger and it is harder to get her going to them. So little Barbaro, or BB as we call him, is taking his mom's place in the educational program. He has a bum foot on his right rear, so he is a very special little boy. HE IS NOT FOR SALE.

The female is for sale for $100 and the 3 other males are already sold. They are all very healthy and doing well, being handled and socialized daily.

If you are interested in a pot bellied pig, try rescue! There are so many unwanted pigs that people 'dump' after they realize how big they get and how much care they require. See the links at the bottom of my page. We occasionally get one into rescue. Watch our petfinder page or sale page to see if we have any available.

Cheetah gave birth to three gorgeous babies on Memorial Day 3-25-08! Two girls and a boy, Penny, Anastasia, and Indy.

There IS hay in this stall. Everytime I put more in there Cheetah roots around down to the ground! Meet Indy, Anastasia, and Penny. Penny is sold to a friend of mine up the road and Anastasia and Indy are both sold.

This is Tarzan..or Daddy-O as he is known now. He has been sold to a TN farm as their new herd sire.

Cheetah is our big Mamma...she is SUCH a love. And they BOTH love bananas!! She is a great mom. She had her babies on Memorial Day. All are sold.

The babies doing what they do best! This is Bocephus..the only boy. He has been sold.

A couple of the girls...aren't they cute!!?!! Born August 18, 2007 . All have been sold.

Piggers as a baby...about 8 weeks old

Piggers has a habit of eyeballing you! She is about 6 months old now (July) SOLD

Baby, a bit standoffish but getting better. Solid black about 5 months old in July. SOLD

Bonnie, the flashy one of the girls. She is about 4 months old (July). SOLD

Prissy...our 3/4 Pot and 1/4 Wild little girl. She is not very tame but better than she was. SOLD

Petey..this boy is a RASCAL! He is 3/4 Pot and 1/4 Wild and isn't bad once you catch him. LOVES to eat and gets out of the pen on a regular basis...usually when we pull up and runs to the car looking for a handout! Unusual slate coloring. SOLD

Piggers is constantly rooting on all the little ones! Hopefully this means she will make a good momma pig when the time comes!

These are the newest babies, born to Baby on 1-15-07. So cute!! Mom abandoned them so we are bottle raising them in the house. All have been sold.

A sad note: One cold morning we awoke to find little Wilbur under the 3 females. We think he went there for warmth and couldn't get out from under them or get them to move. He joins our other beloved animals at the Rainbow Bridge waiting to see us again some day.
