Lucy | Pig

Her owner had bought the cute little pot-bellied pig as a friend for his dog, believing she would stay that small. The owner was soon forced to look for a new home for his Lucy. He simply could no longer offer her species-appropriate and good care. He asked us for help. Lucy has become a…

Bernadette | 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…

Biggy | Pig

Mini pig Max and his partner Biggy surprised their owner one day when he discovered five little mini piglets in the barn. Max was actually castrated, but he clearly convinced his owner otherwise. The offspring meant that the the enclosure became too small and it was not possible to enlarge it. Therefore the owner asked…

Whiskey | Pig

Wilma, Whiskey and Willi were presented to the young farmers as a gift. Lucky pigs, on the occasion of the birth of the first child and parent. Everything seemed to be well thought out and no one questioned whether this was legal; it is a farm after all. During an inspection by the veterinary office,…

Moritz | Pig

A neighboring veterinary office asked Gut Aiderbichl for help. They were confiscating six pot-bellied pigs and needed to find a new home for them. The animals were in a very bad way. We initially had to refuse as we were already at the limit of our capacity. But thanks to the help of our veterinary…

Zafira | 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…

Diego | Pig

Kune Kune originally come from New Zealand. There their name means - unflatteringly - fat and round. As a result, they were almost extinct by the end of the seventies. Fortunately, however, enthusiasts of this breed were found who campaigned for their preservation. Now 5 little Kune Kune have been lucky: they have been allowed…

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…

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.

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…

Fredi | Pig

We receive many requests for help regarding animals in need every day. So we also received a call for help from the six pot-bellied pigs. The caller told us that a couple was separating and the house was now being sold. The animals were therefore to be slaughtered and the date had already been set.…

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…
