Have you guys heard about these cuties? Right now they're only available in the UK, but, for the $4,000 price tag, I couldn't afford one anyway!

They are so cute though! I'd love to have a couple of them to keep me company!

I think I'd be scared that I'd step on him or something! My poor little miniature pinscher wouldn't know what to think!

Starbucks and sushi to green fried tomatoes and corn pudding-I wouldn't change it for the world.

This scares me for the pigs, just like when the pot bellied became popular, they had all sorts of health problems, genetic problems and people ran into zoneing problems. Then everyone thought they should breed their's, and then nobody could sell them cause there was so many on the market, they started dumping them all over including out in my area, they were turning ferral and doing lots of damage. I really hope this does not turn into that AGAIN!

Oh it just might, but after forking over that much cash, it's a decision I hope would not be made lightly one way or the other

We have a ferral pig problem just from regular pigs being dumped a few years ago.

I have heard people say it only takes mere weeks for a pig to revert back to its wild state

I have heard about them and they are so cute. I could never afford one though.
