How much does a fragrant pig cost? A detailed guide to feeding pet fragrant pigs
The fragrant pig, also known as the “mini pig”, has become very popular in China in recent years, and many people even keep fragrant pigs as pets. It has a history of several hundred years in China; as early as the 1930s, it was recorded in the "Yibei County Chronicle" of Guizhou. Here we will briefly introduce the price of fragrant pigs and how to feed pet fragrant pigs.
1. The price of fragrant pigs
The fragrant pig is actually a small pig breed formed by farmers in remote mountainous areas through long-term selective breeding in their local environment. Abroad, starting in 1949, many small pig breeds and strains were successfully developed one after another, such as the Minnesota mini pig and the Yucatan mini pig in the United States. China's fragrant pigs mainly include Tibetan fragrant pigs, Huanjiang fragrant pigs, Congjiang fragrant pigs, Wuzhishan pigs, Bama fragrant pigs, Jianbai fragrant pigs and other breeds. Among them, the Bama fragrant pig is the first choice as a pet pig because of its small size and beautiful coat pattern.
The price of fragrant pigs is not fixed. Different breeds and qualities of fragrant pigs also vary in price, but under normal circumstances the price of a male fragrant pig is around 300-400 yuan each, while the price of a female fragrant pig is around 500-600 yuan. In addition, prices differ by breed, and depending on the seller's pricing, purebred French and Japanese fragrant pigs are more expensive. The price of a Bama fragrant pig breeding pig is roughly around 600-800 yuan. The prices here are for reference only; the specific price should be based on the actual purchase price. Note that if the price of a fragrant pig is very cheap, you should buy cautiously to avoid buying a fake fragrant pig.
2. How to feed pet fragrant pigs
1. To raise a fragrant pig, you first need to arrange a suitable living environment, because pet pigs are very easily startled and need to live in a relatively quiet place. In addition, try to choose a relatively dry environment, which is good for the growth of the little fragrant pig.
2. In summer, prepare a suitable bathtub for the piglet and bathe it about once every three days, which can effectively cool the piglet down. In winter, cleaning the fragrant pig should depend on the temperature and how dirty the piglet is. Try not to do it when the temperature is too low, so as to avoid the piglet catching a cold and getting sick.
3. Fragrant pigs are not picky eaters during rearing and will basically eat whatever they are fed. But to avoid the little fragrant pig growing too fat and too large, it is best not to feed it high-calorie food. It is recommended to usually feed the little fragrant pig vegetables and fruits, and to use these two ingredients as its main meals, as this kind of feeding is low in calories and also very rich in nutrients. Also, do not add too much salt to the food fed to the little fragrant pig, so as to avoid salt poisoning.
If a fragrant pig is well fed and trained, its intelligence is no worse than that of cats and dogs. Moreover, the little fragrant pig has strong vitality and easily adapts to the environment. As long as it is cleaned carefully, it is very different from the dirty appearance of large pigs being raised. Not only will it not have a bad smell, it will instead have a charmingly naive and cute look.
