I purchased a pet pig off of Suzette Ferguson of AZ Micro Mini Pigs. Apparently an ethical breeder here in Arizona. Suzette Ferguson is far from ethical. After purchasing my pig from Suzette Ferguson of AZ micro Mini Pigs, I was ordered to only feed my 7 week old piglet her 'secret feeding plan' of elder feed and only one quarter cup a day. Was ordered to not let my 7 week old piglet eat anything else but that one quarter cup of elder feed. Was ordered not to give my piglet vet prescribed painkillers after her spay as Suzette Ferguson's belief is that pigs DO NOT feel pain. And was ordered to never tell anyone about her secret feeding plan of one quarter cup of elder feed.
After disagreeing with Suzette Ferguson of AZ Micro Mini pigs regarding the care of the pig I got scammed out of $2000 for, I received abusive text messages from her and her loyal pig followers for not following her demands. She has stated in texts to me she only feeds her pigs the correct amount of food to make them seem rounded and healthy only when the threat of an inspection at her farm is looming. She has stated that before any pig pictures go up on any of her social media sites, she photoshops them to look healthy and edits out protruding hips, replaces wrinkled skin with smooth skin and replaces missing hair or edits out any particular markings she feels are not appealing.
I love my pet pig. I wouldn't change her for the world. But if I had of known before handing over thousands of dollars that the product I was seeing on her social media sites were faked and photoshopped. I would've absolutely found a better, more ethical breeder for my purchase. I got scammed! Suzette Ferguson states her pigs are genetically small. However will contradict herself by stating her pigs skeletal frame and structure will somehow become larger if overfed.
She will block anyone that argues with her that if you over feed a genetically small pig, all that should happen is the genetically small pig would get fat. Not grow to epic proportions in skeletal frame and structure. Suzette Ferguson of AZ Micro Mini Pigs uses scare and bully tactics against anyone that will not follow demands for her sold pigs. I did not want my pig to end up dead like many of her sold pigs do due to being underfed as ordered by Suzette Ferguson. From the hundreds and hundreds of pig she states she's sold, I wonder why she only seems to show the same few emaciated pigs over and over on her social media sites? Stay away!!!
I went on a waiting list for a pig from Suzette Ferguson. After reading more information on unethical breeders and how mini pigs DO NOT EXIST. Yes, I repeat there is no such thing as a TEACUP PIG! I contacted Suzette to ask about her feeding plan. I read that breeders tell you to starve your pig to keep them small and I was horrified. Sure enough Suzette refused to give me her "secret feeding plan". RED FLAG #1. She also refused to let me come see the parent pigs. RED FLAG #2. I emailed her asking for some suggested reading on "mini pigs" and she ignored me and never responded. After being on a waiting list less that a week, I asked if I could receive my 200 dollar deposit back. She refused. Then I sent another email asking if I could receive at least half the deposit back, she ignored me and never responded. I had paypal call her to negotiate since I received no goods or services and was only on a waiting list for less than a week, and she refused. I told Suzette to take me off the list and she could keep the 200 dollar. I believe what goes around comes around and I was delighted to see that there are so many scam and rip off reports written about her. I am sure there will be more. I hope to God people are not listening to her and starving their poor pigs!
I decided to go with another breeder and I am so happy I did! My potbellied pig is a happy healthy 100 pound piggy. I got him from a breeder who told me ALL MINI PIGS ARE POTBELLIED PIGS. It is true. I am telling everyone out there...PLEASE DO NOT follow this "feeding plan" that Suzette is telling you! It is horrible and disgusting that she is doing this. Talk to your veterinarian! My pig eats 2-3 cups of mini pig food a day and is the right and healthy weight (he is 2 years old). As a baby, piglets should at least get 1/4 cup 3 TIMES A DAY!!!!
I was on waiting list for a pig from Suzette Ferguson of AZ Micro Mini Pigs located in Queen Creek, AZ. for 2 years. I presumed she must be an ethical breeder; otherwise she wouldn’t have so many people on her waiting list. When I inquired about the long wait, I asked about other Micro Mini Pig Breeders in her area and I was told NEVER to talk to them as they were jealous of her and the fact she BREEDS the smallest pigs in the United States.
Even though I had placed a cash deposit on the pig, (2 years before), I was never allow to visit her home and pig facility that she runs out of her home and barn behind her home. I asked to meet the breeding pig parents and was always given an excuse or runaround of why I couldn’t visit.
Finally, in the fall of 2015, my pig was born. I was NEVER allowed to see or visit the pig until the day I picked it up. My pig was 5 weeks old the day I took it home. I questioned Suzette about the age of the piglet as I heard they were supposed to stay with the Sow until they were 8 weeks old. She told me that was ridiculous as no Sow wouldn’t let them near her that long. (Later, I saw she sent a text to another pig parent saying she removed my pig from its Mother at 2 weeks old as it was nursing too much and she didn’t want it to get big).
I was told to ONLY feed my pig ¼ cup of Elder Masuri Pig pellets and NOTHING more. I was also told to NEVER take her out of her pen until she was spayed, which would be at approximately 4 months old. The spay was not included in the price I paid for the pig. I was also told for the money I paid, I would receive “all the support” I would need from her for my pig because I purchased it from her.
Once I got my piglet home, it was the beginning of a nightmare! My pig screamed and squealed endlessly during the day. Sometimes, I ended up spending 4-5 hours a day in her pen as I wasn’t working at the time. The only time she would calm down is when I would drop a few pellets of that daily ¼ cup of pellets. Every time I would contact Suzette Ferguson regarding my pig’s behavior, her standard answer was; “I don’t know what you are doing wrong, my pigs NEVER do that! She told me to read this book regarding mini pigs and when I began to question her about my pig’s behavior, she exploded on the phone and started SCREAMING at me. I explained my pig was exhibiting signs of being STARVED and also (according to the book, she didn’t stay with her Mom long enough). I continued to believe what Suzette said, following her SECRET feeding plan, with no change in my pig. In a separate conversation, I asked for the contact info of other pig moms so we could talk, she refused. During that phone conversation, so called me stupid and said, “I knew you were going to be trouble”. Then she said, why is everyone having so many problems with my pigs and some of them have even died”? “What is the problem with ALL YOU PEOPLE?”
Eventually, I couldn’t take it any longer, I called her telling her I needed to Re-Home my pig. I felt awful as I have raised tons of animals in my life and had never “failed at it”. Once again, she went off on me, screaming and yelling about how rehoming a pig was an embarrassment to her and how it would RUIN her business. I explained it wasn’t about the pig, I just couldn’t take it anymore. She called me lots of names, then bullied and shamed me! She had me crying several times on the phone. She called and texted other pig owners about what a piece of garbage I was. She made up lies about me and my pig and said no one wants a 4 month old pig. When I posted on my Facebook page that I needed to rehome my pig, she called me immediately and threatened to spread lies and rumors and ruin my home business. She even sent me a fake “Cease and Desist Order, threatening me and my business as well.
Long Story Short---I did end up re-homing my pig and the Vet told the new owner the pig was being starved by me. The Vet immediately increased her food to ½ cup of pellets a day and lots of fruits and vegetables. IMAGINE HOW AWFUL I FELT HEARING THAT, I WAS DEVASTATED, as I was following this GREEDER’s SECRET STARVING PLAN for her mini pigs!!! Due to the pig’s behavior problems from being taken away from her Mom at 2 weeks, my pig is now on her 3rd home in 10 months!
DON’T DO BUSINESS WITH AZ MICRO MINI PIGS OR SUZETTE FERGUSON, in my opinion, she is an unethical breeder, obsessed with the money, lies and looking good and doesn’t care about the pigs at all!
Suzette Furgeson, the breeder (greeder) of Az micro mini pigs has been nothing but horrible while doing business with her. I am the owner of 2 of her pigs. One of my pigs got horribly ill after I had followed her feeding plan of 1/4 cup of mazuri elder feed. My pig was being starved, and I quickly had to up her feed and get her on medication (not the first pig this has happened to, right Tiffani?) My pig also had to go in for surgery for a hereditary issue for her leg. During this time, Suzette Furgeson told me over and over again that she doesn't even know why I took my pig to the vet, and said that if she gets this surgery done "SHE WILL DIE!" Suzette also told me not to give her the recommended dose of medicine, and to only to give it for 5 days instead of 14 because "pigs don't feel pain." My pig yet again has the same issue (now in the other leg) due to the hereditary problems with her breeding pigs. My second pig that I have from her farm is one that I took in after he needed to be re-homed. He wasn't litter box trained when he went to his original home (even though Suzette claims all her pigs are litter box trained.) I was unaware that he NEVER USED his litter box, and he constantly went to the bathroom EVERYWHERE. Suzette Furgeson Az micro mini pigs will do and say anything for a sale and publicity. Once you call her out on something she doesn't like, she will delete and block you, then continue to talk and spread lies about you and your family. If you speak with Suzette you will see a constant pattern of her always talking about someone behind their back, then she goes and does the same about you no matter how much she says you are one of her only friends and she will never turn on you (trust me.) Many of her pigs have died and she will never tell anyone because "the haters will say something." I highly recommend you never get put into this situation, or if you are in it, to quickly get out. It doesn't get pretty.
How one jealous person turned her friends against a successful business and a woman who rarely leaves her house to take care of her pigs I will never know. Shame on all of you assholes!
