Poppy is what we call our micro-pig, she is a bit smaller than the others in length but wieghs about the same as the others due to a little bit of a belly:)) but shes not overwieght or anything.. i was just wandering, because we got her quite small, we rescued her, will she just always be that little bit smaller than the others? she is about a year old or maybe over now.

this is her in the runxoxo
does anyone know? theres nothing wrong i was just wandering:-)
poppy is an escape artist, but loves her food but if you manage to catch her she is very docile and loves a fuss, everyone in the family loves her due to her big eyes and baby-like face:p
 
Pig's are like people, they vary in size. She may well get fatter but doubt she'll get bigger depends on her age! xx
 
A couple of my pigs are smaller than the others. I think once they are adults, just like people, they stop growing in size but may gain or lose weight.

She's a very pretty piggy though

xx
 
thank-you guys, yes pops may get a little bigger but wieghs around 1100, around the wieght of the others, so i doubt she would put any more wieght on, or she may just stay micro pig forever! thank you 8)
 
Aw drool she looks a little bit like our Sheila - cute little face x)
We have a herd of six girls including three sisters, two are of similar size but little Buffy is sooo tiny. She's the most energetic little thing though and leaves the others dizzy when she starts racing around :(|)
I worried she wasn't getting in on the food because of her size when we first had her so made sure she was getting her share but she's the first in the bowls now. Olivia, our older piggy is very protective of her and shares everything with Buffy even her bed x) It's almost as if she knows Buffy's a wee small and mothers her ?/
Weight is fine with your little one so wouldn't worry too much :))
 
aww she is cute x) bella is 10 weeks and my peppa is 6 weeks (or should I say wheeks:))) and peppa is already bigger than bella!
 
thank you guyys, yes poppy is very energetic, maybe its a thing with the small ones? poppy has got quite close with daisy, our big girl, daisy is the same as poppy but bigger and has more ginger in her and no dark patches around her face, daisy mothers her but then again she mothers them all, we have a group of five girls and a neuterd male, oscarxoxo and they all get along so well but daisy shows her mothering instinct by licking some of their ears and being protective, but none of ours ever cuddle up together, which i find odd, unless they're out in the runxx>>> but we love them all lots no matter what shape and size they arex>>
they're all sweet!
 
Piggy is sweet:)maybe he will just stay small which is cool because will always look like a baby piggy lucky *!
 
Strangely my Poppy RIP in my avatar was the tiniest piggie I have ever seen. I never weighed he as I didn't know about weighing pigs back then, but she was about the size of a normal 12 week old piggy all her life. She lived until she was 7 so hopefully little pigs are long livers :)
