Teacup Pigs

Teacup Pigs Are Taking Britan By 'Storm In A Teacup'


Celebrities such as “Harry Potter” actor Rupert Grint, who plays Ron Weasley in the  films, owns two teacup pigs, whilst a certain farm in the USA claims to have sold one to Hilton Hotel Heiress, Paris Hilton

The piglets weigh about 9 oz at birth are about the size of a teacup. They reach full growth at the age of 2, are about knee-high (12 to 16 inches) and modestly weigh in at 65 pounds.
