Micro Pigs are latest pet craze
Micro pig
The micro pig which stands at only 14 inches tall, has become almost impossible to get hold of in the UK.
Jane Croft, 42, who breeds them from Little Pig Farm in Cambridgeshire said, “Demand for micro pigs is soaring and we are inundated with inquiries every day”
Clean and quiet they have become popular among celebrities, such as Harry Potter actor Rupert Grint, who plays Ron Weasley.
Micro pigs are far smaller than a normal farm pig and weigh 9oz, about the size of a tea cup from birth, are fully grown at two years old and can live up to 18 years.
The Little Pig farm has been getting thousands of hits a week and and the phone rings 40 times a day.
The pigs are crosses of Miniature Pot Bellied pigs with Tamworths, Kune Kunes and Gloucester Old Spots to create their tiny, colourful Micro Pigs, which are sold for between £195 and £700.
