Tiny porkers with a big price tag: £700 'micro-pigs' are the latest celebrity pet craze
With their wrinkled little snouts, tiny trotters and oversized ears, they are irresistibly cute.

The adorable animals, which grow to just 14in tall, are being snapped up by celebrities, including Harry Potter actor Rupert Grint, who plays Ron Weasley....
