Micro pig Manuka with Hector the cat in April 2009.
Jane Croft and her one-year-old micro pig Manuka, Christchurch, Cambridgeshire, Britain - 22 Oct 2010.
They may start out life as pocket-size piggies but micro pigs don't stay mini forever. Meet 'micro pig' Manuka, who lives with animal lover Jane Croft at her home in Christchurch, Cambridgeshire. The not so tiny trotter has had the run of breeder Jane's home ever since she was just a petite porker. Then, when she was just a few weeks and months old, her doggy pal Daisy would tower protectively over the youngster. However, now she has piled on the pounds one-year-old Manuka is more than a match for her canine companion. When they are first born micro pigs are the size of teacups. By the time they are two years old they are fully grown, weighing in at around 40-65 pounds and standing at knee height (12-16 inches). Alongside Manuka and Daisy, Jane's home is also given over to a menagerie of other creatures, including Hector the cat, Badger the puppy and other baby micro pigs..
