i've just sent the breeder the following message, i am not in anyway attacking what she is doing, but i do think she needs to make it clear how big these pigs get:

Hi Jane
I am wondering whether it might be a good idea to make it a bit clearer on your website as to just how large these micro-pigs can get. The media have latched on the cute factor without broadcasting any of the reality alongside it. Do you think it might be a good idea to actually publish a picture of a fully-grown pig (and not just publish their height in text), alongside the pic of the tiny baby one by a tea-cup, on the entry page of your site?
I am sure as a breeder you are completely responsible, and your website is very informative, but some potential owners (which I am sure will balloon in numbers, now the Beckhams have two), may need things made clear to them at an early stage.
Kind Regards

Good message Lowis - my other concern is that on her website, the piglets are all shown in very clean settings, and often indoors - to express their natural behaviour they need outdoor access, and mud... this is not made clear by the photos of spotless piglets in immaculate interior settings!

- It would be sensible for the website to represent the sort of environment they need to live in, and the natural behaviours they exhibit.
