There seems to be an increased interest in pigs as pets. A few years back, the big thing was Pot Belly Pigs, this time around a British Breeder, who has appeared on the "Today" show, has reinvented them slightly and is now marketing miniature pigs as "Tea Cup Pigs"At birth, Tea Cup Pigs weigh about 9 ounces. When fully grown, at age 2, Tea Cup Pigs are about 12 to 16 inches high and weigh approximately 65 pounds. About the size of a spaniel and big enough to crush the Tea Cup.
Some famous celebrities have Tea Cup Pigs as pets, these include George Clooney, whose had a potbellied pig named Max. Max, the Potbellied Pig died peacefully after a long and happy life just a few years ago.
I wonder when Paris Hilton will get herself a Tea Cup Pig... at least she won't have to spray paint it to match her wardrobe.
