Pigs can grow for 3 to 4 years and may produce offspring before reaching its full size. Because of this, parent size cannot provide an accurate estimate of a piglet's future size and it is possible that pet buyers will be misled.
Nancy Shepherd of Pig O' My Heart Potbellies said that people should expect a mature, purebred potbellied pig to weigh between 60 and 175 pound. She also claims never to have seen a naturally small "teacup" pig. She said the small pigs she has seen appears unhealthy and stunted, lack good bone structure, conformation and general body condition.
However, there are some pig sellers that still claim that teacup potbellied pigs will top out a twenty-five to fifty-pounds and will grow not taller than six inches.
