They may be the smallest piglets ever born at Kew Little Pigs Farm, but these seven tiny new arrivals are already making a big impression.
Proud mum Bambi gave birth to the adorable litter earlier this week at the award-winning farm in Old Amersham, Buckinghamshire. The piglets' pint-sized dad is Pluto, a 38cm tall Juliana boar who’s believed to be the smallest proven adult boar in the world.
Pluto’s official Guinness World Record application is currently under review, but in the meantime, his growing family is giving the Kew Little Pigs team even more reason to celebrate.
“This is a really special moment for us,” said farm owner Olivia Mikhail. “We’ve never had a litter this small in size before, they’re absolutely adorable, and all doing well. Bambi is being a wonderful first-time mum, and Pluto is clearly passing on his best qualities!”
Nicknamed the “tiny but mighty” boar, Pluto was born on 23 February 2024 and is already a star at the ethical micro pig breeding farm. As well as being known for his cuddly, sociable nature, he’s dabbled in the limelight too, having starred in a London vodka brand’s ad campaign.
Pluto is now a dad twice over, with another of his love interests, Venus, also believed to be pregnant.
“He’s had quite the summer,” Olivia joked. “He might be small enough to sit comfortably on your lap, but Pluto’s definitely leaving a big legacy. If his piglets inherit his charm and character, they’ll be absolute treasures.”
Kew Little Pigs, which ranks in the top 10% of animal attractions globally on TripAdvisor, is the UK’s leading ethical breeder of micro pigs, offering hands-on experiences and educational visits. The farm has welcomed thousands of families over the years and is now gearing up for its Alice in Wonderland-themed Fun Days this summer, promising piggy cuddles, music, face painting, and games for all ages.
To celebrate the new arrivals, the farm is offering 10% off tickets for all visitors using the code familyfun10 when booking at www.kewlittlepigs.com
“These piglets really are a milestone for us,” Olivia added. “We’re passionate about raising awareness of what responsible pig ownership looks like, and we’re proud that our babies will go on to become well-loved pets in forever homes. It’s a joy to watch them grow, and we think Pluto would agree!”
