The Truth About Micro Pigs_ Full Grown Micro Pigs

Hey guys and welcome to our latest yuzu video, which uncovers the truth and dispels the controversy around micro pigs. These adorable tiny pigs might seem cute and cuddly, but how about when they reach this size? Although miniature pigs have been bred for years, the big boom started in 2009 when celebrities were seen carrying these tiny pigs as pets. It took Pennywell Farm in Devon 22 years to finally breed miniature pigs. They claim on their website that a Pennywell miniature pig will tend to remain around or under knee high and their adult size would be approximately the size of a small Labrador. That is pretty small. However, many other breeders claimed that their pigs were even smaller, going as far as to say they would remain teacup sized. But it soon hit the headlines when pet owners were left with fully grown pot bellied pigs in their living rooms. Jane Croft had been breeding micro pigs for one year in this interview in 2009. Well you don't have to walk them like a dog. You feed them twice a day, give them lots of water and lots of love and that's basically it. Very low maintenance. Jane declared bankruptcy soon after as she claimed a Facebook hate campaign destroyed her business. It seems like someone has been telling porkies. Personally I don't think there is such a thing as a micro pig. I think they all grow to a fair old size and the sad consequence is that people buy something small and cute like these thinking that that's the way it's going to stay or that it's not going to get much bigger. So the pig ends up in the wrong environment and eventually you've got unhappy owners who've got a huge animal that's wreaking havoc in their house. So if you think these piglets would make great pets make sure you do your research before you buy. Otherwise you could end up with a lot more than you baconed for.
