Piglets: Baby Pigs, What to Do? A responsible breeder will not sell you a baby pig until it has been weaned from it's mother. This should be done at 6-8 weeks of age at the earliest! Any breeder that tells you that a baby pig has been weaned earlier than this is trying to make a sale at the expense of the baby piglet's health. But, things do happen, and in case you end up with a very young baby potbellied pig for one reason or another, here are a few suggestions to help you along. First, you have to understand that this baby pig was taken away from its Mom way too early. It doesn't know how to eat, misses it's Mom and siblings and is confused, scared and lonely, does not know it's surroundings. The piglet is SCARED. While some think this will make for a stronger bond with its people, it is very tough on the baby!
