Our sanctuary rescues abandoned vietnamese pigs as well as rabbits. They are cute and they are very affectionate and wonderfully appreciative of anything you do for them, but contrary to popular myth they get quite large -- 100 - 120 lbs, averaging about 27 inches high. They are capable of knocking you around if you aren't paying attention to them.

VPP's need to be kept outside and have no "manners" whatsoever...burping, hacking and belching is a way of life for them. They are definitely NOT a house pet but if you live on a farm they are great. Each one has a different personality and they do enjoy interacting with people. They eat a lot (there goes your food bill) and pig poo is quite smelly......

Some love to be sprayed with a hose when it's hot, otherwise they like to roll in the mud. They do play ball but otherwise sleep a lot. There is nothing cuter than to watch them eat their dinner and see all those cute little pig tails/butts swishing very happily back and forth!
