Pint Sized Piglets All The Rage In Britain

8 October, 2009

Currently only for the British, tiny teacup piggies are getting some big attention! Born with an average weight of about half a pound, the adorable little swines grow to only 12 – 16 inches tall with a full grown weight of roughly 65 pounds.

Slightly smaller than even the once popular pot belly pigs, who gained popularity as pets in the early 90’s, teacups are not cheap. Prices start around $1,000 each! Over 70% of those surveyed state that they would most definitely adopt one of these affectionate little critters, given the chance (and the finances).

Gotta love all the fun animal-friendly programming you’ll find on Dish Network and the Animal Planet channel.
