People, this video is *not* to be missed. Enter “Carnitas” the Wonder Piglet! He will grow to be about 15 pounds total and isn’t for eatin’.
Barbarella F., your commentary is what we’d all sound like watching this. Great video.
Meecro-Peeg!
July 27, 2010 By
O.M.G. — is RIGHT!! I wanna hold him, too!
Ahhh! Cutest piglet EVER! Wanna nom his little teeniest of tails
adorable little piggy (I want it!), really annoying “oh my god”-commentary
That is not enough peeg.
OMG! She will go wee-wee-wee all the way to MY home…
Sneeks off with piggie carefully placed in my “rack” .
I’m all about that peeg.
oh my god he is sooooooooo cute!!!!!
if he ain’t food, why’d you go and name him Carnitas?
I keed, I keed
joking aside, that is one aderable piggeh
I love the way Carnitas put his little forelegs on the human’s bluejeaned leg and waited to be helped into a lap!
Two burning questions:
1. Is Carnitas the most precious piglet ever?
2. Will the man with the pig tattoo regret it in 20 years?
I NEED ONE! WANT! WANT! WANT!
PIGGGIEEE ^_^ SOOO CUUUUUTE.
I’ll bet he smells, but I seriously wouldn’t mind, just to have a little piggie like that.
omg videos like this make me SERIOUSLY consider getting a pig as a pet. they’re supposed to be very smart, correct?
Little peeg is awesome! (And so is a bottle of Sam Summah, yum!)
THAT PEEG IS WEARING TEENY TINY PEENK BALLET SHOES!
yes they are supposed to be smart, but this one is definitely very clumsy!
Anyone else hear “Carnitas” and immediately crave Mexican food? Though I doubt that little piggy is going to market — or a dinner table — any time soon.
In a word: SQUEEEEEE. Cutest. Micro pig. Ever. (Okay, that’s five words.)
FYI, check out Carnitas’ beer drinking older brother.
So are micropigs real now? I thought they’d established that even the micro ones still got up to 150 lbs or so.
Eee Eee Eee!
*passes her an apple
Unfortunate name for the cutie, and will somebody PLEASE open a bottle of near beer for that sweetie?!
Did you see the next Carnitas video in the series? Swine ‘n’ racks.
Piggie wants a brewskie. Someone give him a Ham Adams. No, on second thought, a pig that small would probably prefer a microbrew.
Yes, this piggy is adorable however, people, there is NO SUCH THING as a micro pig. This is merely a big, fat lie told by breeders trying to make money – this pig is nothing more than a very young piglet. Breeders force young pigs to reproduce and yes, their offspring can be smaller, but they still all grow to at least 150-250 pounds. I’ve been doing animal rescue for years, and volunteer with abandoned and abused pigs – many are abandoned for the very reason that people think they will not grow to be larger than a cat, but then they become normal size. Check out Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, Piggy Paradise, and see what Yvonne McIntosh has to say about all this – she’s an expert in her field. And yes, pigs are extremely smart and clean and affectionate, but deserve not to be reproduced simply so some low life can make money off the backs of innocent animals. CO – please check your facts before posting these cute videos…..this only makes more people want to guy out and buy the pigs that aren’t miniature orteacup at all. People like Paris Hilton who bought one are ignorant and don’t care about animals – just want the latest fake animal accessory. Sorry to be such a downer – love this site, but don’t mislead the public. Education is key in animal rescue.
Make that a corktail. Maybe a Mai Sty.
Or a glass of swine?
Is that one of those Royal Dandy Extremes? He’s super cute!
More pig,
Had to take the earphones off to enjoy the little darlin’.
You have a great voice! Ever considered voiceover work?
He’s a head shorter than the beer.
Prosh Pigelito.
OMG…!!! He is just the cutest thing EVAR!
I liked the last video better because, FINALLY, somebody lavished some loves on teh babeh! Seems in the first one, the owners, or whoever they were, couldn’t or wouldn’t bother themselves to even touch him, let alone keep him from falling off the step.
I just found myself gasping and wanting to catch him. If I could, I would become a pignapper!
Oakleh iz on a roll this morning!
nice crotch shot from the dude in the jeans
The peeg is the size of a GUINEA peeg.
The pig is so cute! Makes me want to own one
But the omg comments are annoying.
ROFL, I loved the woman’s commentary. She pretty much said everything I wanted to except there wasn’t enough SQUEEEEEEEing.
That’s all you would’ve heard if it had been me lol.
That micro peeglit is ADORABLE! I WANT ONE
squeeeeeee – micro piglet! About the same size as my kittehs, and looking kinda like my guinea piggehs – it’s like a cross-over!!!
and on another note – why do people feel it is appropriate to say rude and hurtful things about other people in these comments, when they wouldn’t (I hope) say the same thing to their face? Is it just be/c they can be anonymous? That’s just wrong – the people they’re being hurtful to are probably going to read the comments too. How would they feel if someone said something like that to them? Why can’t we all be respectuful of each other? If you can’t say something good, then just don’t say anything. /getting off soapbox now/
Absolutely adorable. I’ve got an obsession with piglets and would love to have one of my own, though of course the fact that it’s hard to know exactly how big they end up sort of interferes with the decision. I think I’ll stick to my cat but dream dreams of happy piggies dancing on my lawn!
It’s almost as small as a…ham-ster!
First thought:
- where can I get one of these peegs?
- OMG!
- oh, is that peeg ok?
- OMG!
- peeg is grunting!
- OMG!
I don’t know if I’ve ever found an oinker cute before, but this one definitely is!
I still wouldn’t want one for a pet – at least, not indoors! Livestock ain’t for indoors! – but omg awwwwwww. What a bebe chubbins.
Thanks for commenting on my video, everyone! First, I apologize for my annoying, repetitive outbursts of OMG. It was the first time I’d seen the pig, and I was seriously unaware that I was doing it. I had no control over myself. In the next vids I will post (of Carnitas slipping and sliding around on my kitchen counter) I was able to control myself much better. Regarding the pig’s SIZE — his momma was 15 lbs and his daddeh was 18, and this one was a runt. However, should this pig suddenly sprout to be HUGE, my friends have a farm with plenty of space, and he will still have a home with loving parents. Regarding his unfortunate (or hilarious, depending on your sense of humor) name, Carnitas’s Dad (the guy with the tattoo) is a renowned chef. But this piggy will DEFINITELY NOT be going to market. He’s just for loving. I will continue to make videos of him as he grows, and I hope you check them out by continuing to tune in to the Adventures of Carnitas, the cutest “micro” pig ever!
@Barbarellaf
You have a great voice, a great bunch of friends, a great ham cam, and you are so gracious to tell us all we wanted to know!
Barbarellaf – don’t think anyone should judge for squeeing and omg’ing at the sight of such a piglet. A friend once filmed me holding a baby bunny and I was talking in a ridiculously high-pitched voice, just going, “so cute… oh…my…god…so….soo….soooo….cute…. wheee! gigglefit!gigglegigglegiggle!” throughout, so I think you were remarkably composed, hehe.
I envy you the piglet. I want to see a piggie that cute as well.
clean up your mouth, stop using God’s name in vain.
Oh, exceptional manners! Barbarella shared this adorable video with us, I would think you might enjoy it, rather than criticize her use of a word most of us do not view as dirty.
Second video is definitely better =)
@ Barbarellaf : No need to apologize for saying OMG since I’m willing to bet most if not all of the people watching said it as much as you were. I know I did !
Now for my comment on the video…………
OMG !!! Itty bitty peegy grunts !!!!!!
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG !!!!
So Annette, how’s the view up on that high horse ?
Isn’t that adorable soft warm cutie rooting for mother’s milk in the second video? Which would be kind of sad. But still cute
Piglets are the best and pigs are awesome.
barbarella has a great voice. far from annoying, which is how i would sound with all my eeeeeeeing.
@hyura
she should be the announcer for KQTE!
It’s just me, but I think that this video has just about everything. First and foremost, the wee piggie! I found Barbarella’s commentary fun and if I hadn’t, I have a mute button. I’m delighted that the owners were sensible about checking wee piggie’s wee parents, and their foresight in having a backup plan if he turns out to be larger than anticipated. Then we have the pig (seeming to) hunt for beer, and Dad’s tattoo which might be the funniest thing of the whole deal. I shall now go make squee noises.
Yep, I would have done exactly the same commentary!
Man, what I would give for a micro pig on my lap now….
It all comes down to this:
I want a pig.
I have befriended a pig at the shelter where I volunteer. Not a micro pig but a big old black and white sweetie He’s incredibly friendly and now I have to walk over to skritch his head every day I’m there. Never was a pig fan before, but this guy has turned me.
No pig is for eating, they do not exist for us but for their own purpose!
This cute little piggys purpose is to get lots of squeals!
LATFPWH
Look At This F****ng Piggie With Hipsters
Barbarellaf: Actually I would have been saying exactly the same thing, so I thought your OMG’s were cute! It was like you were channeling me! Also–ha! You semi-confirmed my suspicion–is it Kevin Gillespie? I know he has that tattoo and it sounded like him, but that seemed too weird to be possible. I live near Atlanta and now I want to be friends with you just to meet Carnitas! SOOOO adorable!
Micro pig,
Micro pig,
Does whatever a,
micropig does!
mimi – glad I’m not the only one who noticed
@Barbarellaf-I don’t blame you one bit, i would have been going OMG the entire time too!
Piggy is tooo anerables! I want one! I will name them Pigby! EEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Does the leetle peegy like treats? (I could see him eating a teeny tiny apple or pear.) Love the leetle hooves!
Ah, a clip from my favorite movie, The Guy with the Pig Tattoo.
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG Cutest little swine ever !!!!!!!!!!!!! I would have to have a little push chair for him to go on little walkies and make new friends. He would have to sleep in bed with me, cuddles, kisses, treats, toys and more love than he can possibly handle !!!! I would have a little nibble off of his tiny piggy ‘tocks, sweet little belly blows and fluffy dome head kisses ! His nose would be constantly kissed and his little hooves too. I would have to landscape a little mud hole for him to roll in, he would so spoiled and so loved, I WANT HIM NOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Somehow I don’t think Carnitas is as innocent as he looks! Barbarella was one nuzzle away from a full-on piglet “motorboat”- too cute!!!
What ceejoe said! The commentary cracked me up, no need to apologize to me either. I know I’d be going ooooooOOOOOH he’s so CUTE! or I’d explode. (Because I heard myself just now and I’m just watching a video of it!)
I’ve owned svelte guinea peegs bigger than that peeg…. Love it. Such a sweetie! *goes to watch more pigletvids*
@Barbarellaf
The commentary was great, and spontaneous and EXACTLY what I would have said: OMG, that is one cutie pie peeg.
His little round tum, his prosh trotters, his gruntles!
I just watched the second video and am reeling from how cute Carnitas is! The schnozzle! The leetle hooves! He’s too cute! And he uses a litter box! I now want a leetle piggy of my own……………………………except my kitteh may mind.
According to Wikipedia, a micro pig is one that grows to less the 150 lbs, which is big but not nearly as big as the usual 300-to-1,000 lbs that a non-micro pig will grow to! But yeah, I still prefer my <15 lb.-sized kitties. They gotta breed these piggies down a few sizes before I'm getting one.
Or, I guess not… Kevin now has a lot more tattoos than I remember from Top Chef! http://blogs.ajc.com/food-and-more/2010/06/09/who-wants-a-tour-of-kevin-gillespies-tats/ (And I suppose it’s a pretty common tattoo for a chef anyway.)
Is that beer Ham Adams? (rimshot)
This little pig is all that and a bag of chips. (snaps fingers)
Carnitas? What kind of name is that for a pig? I would call i Ham, Bacon, Sausage or something like that. Or Snozzle, Pinky, Piggy or Steve, in case some are vegetarians. But my favourite is Hamlet. Combination of Ham and Piglet. Perfect!
I agree with those who dislike the OMG, self-conscious commentary. What an annoying young woman! I couldn’t watch/listen. Uncute overload!
Carnitas IS “something like that”, last I checked.
From Wikipedia:
Carnitas, literally “little meats”, is a type of braised or roasted (often after first being simmered) pork in Mexican cuisine.
But I love “Hamlet” as a name – perfecto!
Cute baby! Archer Farms kettle chips! Wasabi Mustard flavor *drool*
Apparently, these piggies, when fully grown at 2 years of age will weigh in around 40-65lb and are about knee height at 12-16in tall.
The man with the tattoo is Hanis (California Chef of The Year 2009). Don’t worry, despite Carnitas’s tongue-in-cheek name, he is a safe, much-loved, member of the family. Apparently, he and Doogers the dog are now best friends! I am sure he will be one of the happiest pigs ever, no matter what size he is!
Peegs are awesome. And yes, they are very smart!
Just keel me now. Srsly.
Thanks for all the love and understanding of my uncontrollable urge to OMG, everyone! Well, mostly everyone. @Granny, you haven’t even begun to see how annoying I can be. Worry not, I’ll keep it in check, respect your elders and all that.
One more thing I forgot to mention — this pig does NOT smell bad. A note: they burn easily, you need sunscreen if you’re going to take him outside (even though, as you’ll see in a future vid I’ll post, pigs HATE to be sprayed with sunscreen — I’ve never heard such loud and indignant squealing). Plus, I have a video of this piglet playing with a PUPPY, coming soon. Now that’s definitely cute overload. 
Please to not name THE CUTEST PIGGY IN ALL THE WORLD after barbeque O.O
Love his pot belly! And his tippy-toes!!
It’s an ironically cute name. Kinda like naming your pet fish, Sushi.
omg that this is the cutest ever.
Grannie, don’t you have kids to get off your lawn?
She sounds just like I probably would around that little peeglet!
Thank goodness I don’t make videos of my encounters with kyoot. You’d get a 10 minute squeal at ear-piercing tones. Let’s see how peeps would react to that!
What a ridonkulously cute widdle piggie!! WANT WANT WANT!
This little piggy is WEE, WEE, WEE!
Barbarellaf, *I* look forward to seeing more of the baby piggeh. what does it eat? And yes, want to see piggie & dog playing, please.
I guess naming him gordita or chimichanga would’ve been inappropriate. Anybody else gone to Woodfire Grill? It’s as good as you’d think.
Thank heavens that wasn’t a bag of chicharróns.
Barbaralla, thank you for commenting… your apology was very gracious, and is definitely accepted. While I prefer not to hear “OMG”, I can certainly agree with the sentiment. I don’t know what I would have said meeting this cute little peeglet! I probably would have just been in silent awe with my jaw hanging down low. Anyway, I still have one question… how old is this little bacon-bit?
We look forward to your updates.
My guess is Carnitas will still be as cute as he is now, no matter how big he gets.
Oops… sorry spelling error. I meant Barbarella.
Sexy voice commentary + adorable little babe = great video. I smiled the whole time! Thanks for sharing!
So nice to read all the updates and extra information from Carnitas’s friends and family. I admit the first video left me wondering if this little peeg was as loved as he deserves, but now I know he is in piglet heaven. I’m looking forward to seeing him playing with his doggy friend!
This is the first time I’ve seen a pig and thought it was cute, and oh boy, how cute it was. The second video with all the cuddling was even cuter than the first.
@ mimi and lisa – I’ll join you in the perv corner. Crotchtastic
Best part: “OMG, I know who’s lap he’s sitting in next!”
ROFL!!! <3
@Barbarellaf – OMGOMGOMG, it was indeed annoying you saying that a million times, but then…. like you say, you have no control over yourself when you suffer from an acute “cute attack”, hehe!
I am also very glad to hear your explanations re. the piggy, and glad to know that you are a caring, loving person. Not that that didn´t come across in the video, it´s just that the other people didn´t seem to care much about little Carnitas falling off the step or wishing to cuddle him.
Re. our name “Barbarella” – WE RULE! *giggles*
I want that peegie and snoogle him and love him. I think my dogs would love him, too! (not for eatin’)
aww, adorable!!
@Barbarellaf : I was also OMGing along with you! And you have a nice voice so all the better
Carnitas is so prosh! Can I have him now?
Late pun for 260Oakley – Carnitas wants a Cartini. Bacon, not cured.
@pyrit
i smell a smackdown!
@Ruth at 11:48 AM: I LAWLed so hard at your post! You took the words right outta mah mouf.
@Annette at 9:02 AM: Oh my God, you are the life of da partay. Cue sound of Price is Right horn when ya lose: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ytCEuuW2_A
@Grannie at 2:22 PM: Pshhh! Try the mute button. It’s in the lower right hand corner of yer screen, cause you missed out on some adorable peeg-ness.
I echo Lillith’s 4:07 PM commentary.
Lastly, @Barbarella, keep OMG’ing all ya want. Carnitas is deserving of such accolades, and more! I believe you are the perfect great spokesperson for most of us here (but for a few sourpusses). The vast majority of us would be even ‘worse’ with the shock of being in the presence of such overwhelming cuteness!
stinkin’ cute!
I love the brain-sploded commentators: “I’m all about the pig..OMG OMG OMG OMG”
I would have called it Chuletta (it’s cuter), but that’s me.
Don’t see what annette’s problem is with it anyway, y’know. If that’s how annette feels, then she, logically, also believes the meecropeeg above was made by same, right? In which case I’d think the upstairs response to BarbarellaF’s happy-to-see-minipeeg commentary would be “You’re welcome!” ’cause obviously she appreciates the effort. My response to having someone squee that hard over something cute that I made sure isn’t to take offense.
It’s all in the interpretation!
Also, squee.
I gotta say, this site is getting lame.
barbarella, you have a hot voice. and you’re cute too. just fyi.
but i do agree with faith that the most important thing is that folks understand the truth about peegies. i have a friend who has done a lot of peeg rescue and she has taught me a lot. i don’t eat peegies anymore, but i probably won’t ever try to keep one as a pet, either. kittehs will have to do.
Barbarellaf, thanks so much for the extra info! This video was adorable, and I thought your commentary was hilarious (and as everyone else has said–exactly how we all would’ve reacted!). Can’t wait to see more of Carnitas–and I love the name!!!
I want one. No, seriously, I WANT one. This isn’t a joke! Where can I get one?
Barbarellaf, Can you video the parents of Carnitas so we can see full grown minis?
I would have named him mojo myself. Or Sir Percival Porkchop the Third. I would have to get him a monocle and a teeny tophat, and I would place tiny kisses on his tiny nose. Too Too Cute. I need to go hug my dog, she makes piggy grunts when I do that. It will make this desperate craving pass.
I LOVE Carnitas! She is so dang cute I could just hug her to pieces! Love the video and hope to see more.
Julie
@ Sharpy
Chop chop!
OK, pyrit, last call:
This little piggie wants a Pina Colarda. On the hocks.
And a swill-zzle stick!
*groan*
Tiny floppy ears? Nomable little face? Could so understand why voice-over was thrilled. She had a lot of restraint, waiting as long as she did to grab up little Carnitas, who is one lucky porker.
Must say…all tiny piglets are this cute…You know what I’m sayin.
(Off to enjoy a ‘fakin bacon’ tofu, lettuce and pickle sammy now)
Maybe he is like a Royal Dandie Extreme which grow to be only 19-29 lbs. I feel a pork shortage coming on.
Incredible! Both vids are great. I especially love the part where piggy is snuzzling in her arms to get comfy. My doxie does something similar – he burrows under things to cover his face. He feels more secure and safe when he thinks he is hidden. I bet it’s the same for the piggy. There have been times when the only thing you can see is his two back legs sticking up in the air and nothing else! Now that I think of it, I’m sure that a mini piggy would get along perfectly with Sydney.
Here’s the story I wrote about the pig (published today) if you want more details about him: One Terrific Pig .
Sooo adorabuhls! Love the mini-grunting and the tail wagging. And you do have a nice voice.
OY VE! ARE YOU EFFING SERIOUS CO?!?! THAT WAS SO CUTE IT HURT. LITERALLY. WHY MUST YOU TORTURE ME SO?!?!?
IM A MELTED PUDDLE OF GOO RIGHT NOW AND I NEED ME SOME CARNITAS.
My funeral: RIGHT NOW.
wow, @jess, that’s a Cute Over-Splode!
Can someone tell me, will this piggy really only going to be 15 lbs? They used to say Pot-bellies would be tiny, but that was in Asia, here in the States people fed their Potbellies until the things weighted up to 300 lbs. Will this adorable piglet end up in the plus 100 range of weight?
@
super bunny: do you? Really?
My face, it is frozen from squee
@Barbarellaf That was fantastic!
Oh my god, he’s so cute I can’t stand it! So tiny! His little hoofs!!
That is amazingly cute! And Barbarellaf, your voice is (as the goose in Charlotte’s Web would say) terrific, terrific, terrific! I’ll bet you sing really prettily!
Oh dear, if that were me those tiny earlets would be in my mouth immediately.
Squeeee! Literally. No, literally.
this is the micro-peeg molecule.behold his molecular cuteness!
Pigs are illegal in all urban areas in the U.S. and are only allowed in agricultural zones – even small ones. Less than 5% are kept by their owners after they mature as they grow to 100 -200 lbs and become much less tame. There are about 300,000 abandoned pigs in the U.S. desperately seeking homes. Don’t believe words like “tea cup” or “micro”. Pigs start breeding at the age of 3-6 months and don’t grow into their full size until they are 4 or 5. Yes, these small pigs are little compared to 500-700 lb. farm hogs, but they are not tea cup pets and they are not easy pets. They are wonderful for the right owner, who is informed and realistic.
Barbarellaf: I <3 the phrase "geeky with anticipation", it made me laugh. Loudly.
Great story!
personally, i prefer to think that omg in the face of ugliness is ugly, but omg in the face of cuteness is a prayer of thanksgiving- jes’ sayin’
oh, and thank you for sharing, barbarellaf-am anxiously awaiting the “further adventures of WONDERPIG CARNITAS”
Thanks for reading it, @Bstrange! I was geeky with anticipation. Off to hang with the little porker now, and I can’t wait. @Fatgrammafinn, I’m working on additional videos, and soon will be posting piggy meets puppy! Stay tuned.
Thanks!
Just don’t let the Chinese know about the existance of this peeg!
Just google search “乳猪” (suckling piglet) and u’ll know why.
Go ahead, i dare u to google it! And click the images section at the top left corner.
U have been warned.
>>Go ahead, i dare u to google it! And click the images section at the top left corner.
shoo! git! scram! beat it!
…ok. That tears it. No more bacon for me.
Seriously, I just squee-d myself.
“Go ahead, I dare you” = on a par with “Wow that STINKS! Here, smell this” for statements it doesn’t take a genius to say “no thanks” to.
I want one!! so cute! I want mini-bacon!
The narrator sounds like Rachel Ray, and she’s said O-MY-GOD about 10 ten times.
The little peeg is just like, “Snurf, nuefff, SCHNOOORT!”
I love the tongue-in-cheek name. I have a bunny named Stu.. yeah yeah, bunny stu, get it? I guess some need a sense of humour
Great video.. commentaries are awesome & so much the way most of us who love animals would have reacted…
Keep ‘em coming. We’ll be checking them out, fur shure
the reason this pigs parents are so small is people breed pigs as soon as they are big enough to reproduce so they can say – look how tiny the parents are (also, many breeders withold food so the pigs stay even tiner)!!! this pig will be over 100 lbs when it grows. it will just take a little time to get there, is all.
If hat bimbo behind the camera says “oh mah gawd” one more time I’m going to reach into the internet so I can strangle her.
@gravyboat
>>If hat bimbo behind the camera says “oh mah gawd” one more time I’m going to reach into the internet so I can strangle her.
do NOT, i repeat, do NOT, watch the video made by the guy seeing a double rainbow.
OmG iTs So CuTe!!!!!
I wAnT oNe!! I wAnT oNe!!!!
