Pamina | Pig

Our pot-bellied pig Frieda at Gut Aiderbichl Iffeldorf unexpectedly became a mom. Colleagues had discovered the little surprises during a morning inspection. The culprit could only have been one: pot-bellied pig Eber Dennis. The cheeky little fellow has been living at Gut Aiderbichl Iffeldorf since December 2019. When he was admitted, we received veterinary confirmation…

Babe | Pig

A desperate woman contacted us and asked for help. She had rescued pot-bellied pigs and placed them on her farm. Now the sows had given birth but she couldn't keep all the animals. So she asked us to take on at least Franky, Babe, Bonnie and Clyde. We could not give an immediate commitment as…

Max | Pig

Max, a mini pig, and his partner Biggy, surprised their owner when he discovered five little mini piglets in the barn one day. He had been under the impression that Max had been castrated. Well, it was different. It was impossible to enlarge the enclosure, so Max and his Biggy became Aiderbichler mini pigs. With…

Lisi | Pig

An animal lover fulfilled her dream of having micro pigs and took Flo and Lisi into her home. The very cuddly and intelligent animals were originally bred specifically for experimental purposes and only later found their way into our households as pets. However, problems arose and she was forced to give up her friends. The…

Bärbel | Pig

Bärbel is a pig with a strong hangover. Her conspecific didn't have much to laugh about with her. When there was a serious fight one day, Bärbel had to be separated from her. The family was desperate and asked for help, because the situation was too much for them - so Bärbel became an Aiderbichler…

Peter Pan | Pig

Little Peter Pan is one of the sons of the mini-pigs Max and Biggy. A young mini piglet like this is even smaller than small and incredibly cute. That's sometimes the tricky part: they don't stay so adorably small, and the garden gets dug up just like a domestic pig. Peter Pan is still in…

Bella | Pig

Around 3 million pigs are kept in Austria alone. We already know a lot about their physiological needs such as nutrition, reproduction and the conditions that lead to a maximum meat yield during fattening. But pigs are also more than just meat suppliers. How do pigs think? How do they organize their social environment and…

Tinkerbell | Pig

Little Tinkerbell is one of the daughters of the mini pigs Max and Biggy. Such a young mini piglet is even smaller than small and incredibly cute. That's sometimes the tricky thing: they don't stay so adorably small, and the garden gets dug up just like a domestic pig. Tinkerbell is still in the care…

Schnucki | Pig

Schnucki the boar and his mother Helene were promised by their owners that they would be allowed to stay until the end of their natural lives. They used to be pig farmers, but gave them up because their daughter wanted to restructure the farm at home. When they were finally taken away by the butcher,…

We already know a lot about their physiological needs such as nutrition, reproduction and the conditions that lead to a maximum meat yield during fattening.

Clyde | Pig

In a world where animals are often seen as an entertaining pastime, one woman experienced a painful lesson in responsibility. Perhaps on impulse, she had acquired two pot-bellied pigs. What began as a happy idea quickly became an insurmountable challenge. The daily care, the space required and the intensive attention that these intelligent creatures need,…

Sophie | Pig

Animal lovers contacted us and told us about 9 Göttingen miniature pigs that had been in the laboratory since 2019. Retirement was just around the corner, but no one seemed to want to take care of nine tame pigs. The Gut Aiderbichl team consulted and a decision was quickly made: The pigs had to be…
