Blog 46: Captain's Log Tea Cup Pig Theory

The Captain has decided to address a question that is surely lingering in the back of your minds, "How is it that Teacup Pigs remain so small while all other pigs are so large?". The Captain has come up with a few theories and illustrations to aid in his explanation to you. The first theory is that the genes of the pig and the teacup have created a cross breed of a pig that is no larger than the size of the teacup which required very specific gene splicing. The second theory is the obvious misuse of a shrink ray on full sized pigs that reduces them to the size of a teacup. This abuse of such a technology on pigs is both sad and pretty darn funny. This one is the one the captain believes to be most correct.The third theory is that the pig are raised inside of a teacup that way their body must adapt to the size of its environment causing the pig to be so small. This theory is also a good one.

There are more theories that can be gathered I am sure, but the captain has decided to leave some of that detective work to you! You have been honored with a mission to create your own theories and post them. Together you and the captain can unravel the mystery that is the Teacup Pig.  Be sure to think of a theory, nothing is too out there….I mean look what the captain is suggesting…surely you have a better explanation that can  “help” his theory along. Sorry the pictures failed :-(

  1. I was thinking that the teacup pig was a cross between a pig and possibly a nice earl gray brew? Maybe some sort of green tea since it is better for you, and these teacup breeds are not cheap - so I am sure they are raised very carefully.

  2. Maybe its some sort of cross between a real pig and a guinea pig?

  3. You already said the theory I thought of. I think it's possible that the pigs were raised inside of teacups, and soaked in warm water, possibly with a nice bag of tea! Mmm. Wait, ew.
