I WANT ONE!!!!

[Roon]

Adorable ‘teacup pigs’ are latest hit with Brits.

In England, they’re porking over up to $1,100 each for 14-inch-tall oinkers.

A baby pygmy hippopotamus.

5. I'll take him until the bed starts crushing

then they can take him back!

11. That's the advantage to these types of pigs. They don't get nearly as big as the potbellied ones.

4. That's a lot of money for breakfast.

:hide:

6. That little guy would be nothing but cat food around here.

Do cats like pork? I've never tried giving mine any.

10. My elderly kitty Daniel will steal slabs of pork off my plate

and she moves QUICK for being as old as she is!

7. And people wonder where swine flu came from... n/t

[Mollis]

8. OMG

I have wanted one of these for a while now...saw a video about one about a year ago. I have always wanted a pet pig. A teacup pig would be perfect.

9. When I saw the thread title, I knew what it would be...

strange. My friend just got one... can't wait to see it!

12. I prefer Vietnamese potbellied pigs when it comes to pet pigs

We used to have one, and he was cute. They have squished-up faces and floppy ears. Allegedly they're intelligent, although ours must've been a few candles short of a birthday cake...

15. How long to pot bellied pigs live?

My step-sister got one a long time ago and I think the pig is still alive!

[WildEyedLiberal]

16. I think healthy ones can live 20ish years

Ours died early, though :( He was only 3 or 4. A coyote got into our (locked) barn and killed him. :(

13. mmmmmm bacon!

[ThomCat]

14. They get up to 65 lbs. That's a good size.

I wonder how much it costs to feed them.

They are very adorable. If they are smart, responsive and affectionate, I'd love to have one as a pet. :loveya:
