Currently, there is a waiting list of one year for the pint-size pigs bred on
Pennywell farm. Co-owner of the farm, Chris Murray said that he began
cross-breeding the pigs nine years ago "for children to cuddle".
These
mini-pigs are sold in pairs where possible so they have company at
night.
British TV presenter, Jonathon Ross, is reported to have purchased two
of the pigs for US $300.
Murray emphasised the importance of keeping these pigs fit
and not fat like all other pets.
