These are very cute but very strange mini pigs, known as a micro pig which people are using as the new must-have accessory. The mini pink pet measures only 8 inches from nose to tail, which is about the same size as a normal sized guinea pig. Like their full size versions, the micro pigs are also very clean, highly intelligent and very loving pets. Although they are not the most conventional looking pet, they make an ideal addition to a family with anyone who suffers from allergies as they have hair and skin similar to ours, not fur. There is only one major downside to these mini pigs and that is that they cost from £650.
