Two pigs have been rehomed in County Durham after they grew to a full-size after their previous owners thought they had bought micro pigs.
Their original owners bought the two male Kunekunes as pets thinking they were miniatures, but found them too much to handle as they grew in size while living within the confines of a small flat in Gateshead.
Unable to provide for the pigs’ needs, the family contacted the RSPCA, who launched a search to find the duo a new home suited to the exacting demands of their breed.
