Micro-pigs are starting to win over the hearts of potential pet owners. The super cute little guys weigh only about 9 ounces at birth and are only about 50 pounds and 14 inches tall at their full size two years later. Contrary to what some people may think, the pigs make popular pets because they are clean, quiet, and intelligent. Micro-pigs also make great pets for people with fur allergies because pigs have hair instead of fur. But at a price tag of over $1,000 it's no wonder that the micro-pigs are mostly a hit with the celebrity crowd so far. But cost aside, would you want one of these teacup piglets as a pet?

fur price tag 1000 micro-pigs hit celebrity crowd cost pet

If they only weigh about 50 lbs, how much bacon can they produce? For anybody who grew up in the rural Heartland, the idea of a pig pooping in or near my home just doesn't feel feasible. Y'all go ahead and have your piggies. I think I'll keep my dogs! WAIT ....... what's that? The dogs say they would like to have a pig as a pet.

Excuse me -- I have to go have a talk with the dogs!

They're really cute... I'd love one. Still, I've heard that miniature pets suffer from illnesses because they aren't properly suited to their size. I can't confirm it, though.

Lived on a farm at one time. Husband and son both had pigs. May be cute but I don't like them and can't imagine a pig as a pet.
