Animal salvage centre warns over micro pigs

Micro pigs were in exact after they became "the celebrity pet", but experts have warned it is difficult to predict how big they will actually grow. Brinsley Animal Rescue Centre has been giving new homes to some of the pigs. John Beresford said: "its rescue centres that pick up the pieces of people buying pets animals on a fad and then giving them up on an impulse."

The centre's website states that there is "no such thing as a micro pig" and explains that all pigs are large, powerful and possibly critical. Micro pigs are usually a cross between pot-bellied or Kune pigs and were made popular after different Hollywood stars and the Beckhams bought one. One of the pigs Brinsley Animal Rescue Centre has re-homed came from Bolsover.
