Pigs have been domesticated for thousands of years, and pig farming is common in many parts of the world. Piglets are often raised on farms for meat production.

What a curious little piglet! It appears to be investigating with its attention forward and snout lifted. With a nice texture to the peach colored hides and light brown hooves this is one of my favorite piglets on the website.
Piglets are young domestic pigs that are typically less than 12 weeks old. They are known for their adorable appearance with small, round bodies and snouts.
Piglets grow rapidly, and their size varies depending on the breed. On average, they weigh between 1.5 to 4 pounds (0.7 to 1.8 kilograms) at birth. By the time they are weaned at around 3 to 8 weeks old, their weight can increase to 10 to 20 pounds (4.5 to 9 kilograms).
Piglets primarily feed on their mother's milk, which provides essential nutrients for their growth. After weaning, they transition to solid food, including specially formulated piglet feeds that provide a balanced diet. They have a voracious appetite and require a high-energy diet to support their rapid growth.
Piglets are social animals and enjoy the company of other pigs. They engage in play behavior, chasing each other, and exploring their surroundings. Social interactions among piglets are important for their social development and overall well-being.
