There's a new pet in town and it's a little "oink" pig that fit's into your teacup. Yep it's the Micro Pig. Suddenly the price of pork has just gone up. The British newspaper The Guardian, claims Victoria Beckham has just bought one for her football star David from The Little Pig Farm, run by Jane Croft in Cambridshire. For £700 per piggy you can own one.
Fully grown, they stand at just over a foot. They make, it seems, brilliant pets – they are affectionate, come when you call their names, and are more intelligent than dogs.
Croft has stated she is not really selling them as presents, and she won't sell to anybody. She always vets people to check they know what they're taking on – micro pigs need a large garden, should be kept in pairs and can live for 18 years.
They can be easily house trained and will sit on your lap while you watch TV so you can scratch their bellys. They will "talk" to you and have you giggling for hours. They enjoy listening to Classic FM.
Well if micro isn't your thing you could always consider the big daddy of swine.
