Even though they have been on the scene for quite some time, these teacup pigs have become the latest craze across the pond in England and are now making their presence known here in the states. These unique little guys (and gals) never grow up to be too much bigger than about 12-14 inches and just the mere glimpse of them sends hearts a flutter.
They get their name from their size, like many animals this size, a teacup is about what they measure up to when first born. These little guys are going like wild cakes in the land over there, and the Brits don’t expect a downturn anytime soon. In fact, many can’t afford these guys without their own stimulus package at a whopping $1100, but that doesn’t stop the endless orders for the slightly hair highly intelligent creatures.
The teacup pigs, also referred to as micro pigs, and even micro mini pigs weigh about 9 ounces when they are first born and reach full grown maturity around the age of 2 years. They can reach about 65 pounds, significantly lighter than their counterparts the pot-bellied pig at over 100 lbs. Yet their worth their price in Gold.. eh or is that Sterling Pounds?
The breed was created with a mixture of several others including the potbellied pigs, a Kune Kune, a Tamworth and a Gloucester Old Spot Breed. The little guys, at no guilt on their part are sweeping the country and soon will be fully available Stateside, leaving many potbellied pig breeders to wonder how their going to continue to sell their larger counterparts when the micro pigs seem to be quite a bit smaller and easier to handle inside the home.
Since the micro pigs are highly intelligent, they can get themselves in a bit of a fickle if you may, getting into all kinds of things if they are left alone, so they may not be the ideal pet for someone who is not home to take care of them full time. So if you want to bring home the bacon, it will most likely be at the discretion of a concerned breeder.
Micro pigs have some advantages over the ordinary dog or cat in our lives. They tend to be rather non-irritating to the nose in the sense that they have very short and manageable hair instead of the fur and don’t shed or need to be brushed every day to maintain their coat. This can be advantageous to people with allergies that have not been able to have a house pet until these lovable piggies have come to market.
