mini pig

Tiny pet hog

A mini pig is a small breed of domestic pig kept as a pet rather than livestock.

Also called miniature pig or teacup pig, though "teacup" is often misleading—most grow considerably larger than breeders suggest.

Mini pigs are intelligent and social but require more space and care than many owners anticipate: They bought a mini pig thinking it would stay small.
