Do small pigs make good pets?

Yes, they are able to be house trained and are actually smarter than a dog therefore making them easier to train.

Small pigs are very intelligent and playful but also quite messy. Pigs love to dig and will damage your home if left inside. They are very stubborn and expect a set routine.

Depends on your living situation. They're like dogs but a little bit more intelligent. I've heard almost nothing but good things from people who've owned them as long as you can take care of them.

Small pigs can be misleading because often they grow to be very large pigs, my boyfriend in high school had a pig, it tore up the kitchen floor and his mother had a fit... so do your research.

Depending on where you live would depend on if they would make a good pet. Pigs, contrary to popular belief, are actually clean animals. However, a pig will not always be a small one so research your breed when you purchase one.

I think you would like to have one, but you do not know how dirty pigs really are. They are undoubtedly adorable, I think, but are also undoubtedly messy. They cannot be potty trained easily, but if you keep it outside, it's a great idea :)
