Micro pigs are the new 'ferrets' of this decade - a must have cute unusual animal. And they're strictly for indoor entertainment. On those teeny legs they'd never outrun a hungry predator.

They are very cute though. There's no way oh would let me have any :( :tongue2:

Good point, when them that has, get fed up with the piggy poo, perhaps the price will come down and the rescue centres be full of them  :(  (did that make sense?)  :unsure:
