I never thought I’d actually find a pig cute, but these mini-pigs are quite adorable. The mini-pig was bred at Pennywell Farm in Devon, England. They were featured a couple of days ago on Good Morning America, so check out the videos at http://abcnews.go.com/search?searchtext=mini%20pigs&type=
Are these cute mini pigs available in the US? Can they be shipped from England’s Pennywell to the US? if so who or how can I get ahold of someone that has one or two pigs that I can purchase? Thank you so much! I am very eager and really want to adopt some mini pigs of my own!
I would also like to know how to buy a mini pig.
This is the closest I could find about purchasing one. If you search “Chris Murray mini pig” there are more items that come up.
Mini pigs are big success on farm
TV presenter Jonathan Ross has bought two of the pigs
A Devon fun farm is reaping the rewards of a nine-year breeding programme for miniature pigs.
The pigs, which are about a fifth of the size of ordinary pigs, have been a hit with visitors at Pennywell Farm.
TV celebrity Jonathan Ross bought two of the pint-sized porkers as pets at £150 each and there have even been offers from as far away as Australia.
The pocket pigs are a variant of the rare kune kune breed, which are found in New Zealand.
Chris Murray, co-owner of the farm near Buckfastleigh, began cross-breeding the pigs nine years ago and believes he has the perfect pet pig.

He said: “Pigs are very cute when they are young, but they outgrow a home environment and can be aggressive when they get older.
“These pigs are just at home indoors or outdoors.”
Some pet pigs, such as the Vietnamese pot-bellied variety, have in the past been bought for their cuteness.
But they fell out of fashion when it became clear how big they grow.
The world’s smallest pig is thought to be the 28in-long wild pygmy hog, an endangered species which lives in wildlife sanctuaries in Assam, India.
Mr Murray said: “They are easy to house train and have a good temperament.
“A sow would normally snap at you if you picked up one of her litter, but these are amazingly content.”
Mr Murray doubts if they will be appearing on restaurant menus.
“They are too small, he said.
“It would be uneconomic so it’s unlikely they will be used for meat and there is already a huge amount of different pig meat available.”

Yes…my wife and I are very interesting in getting a couple of these Pennywell Farm pigs. I’ve done several searches on-line to find out how to purchase them, and no luck yet. Hopefully someone can find out…or go to Devon themselves and bring back some pigs to breed for us all!
