On Thursday 17 July, 2025, Kew Little Pigs Farm welcomed seven tiny new arrivals, who may very well be the smallest piglets ever born at the farm. The proud mother, Bambi, gave birth to the adorable litter earlier this week at the award-winning farm in Old Amersham, Buckinghamshire. The father of the piglets is Pluto, a 38cm tall Juliana boar who is 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. Olivia Mikhail, the owner of the farm, expressed her excitement, saying, “This is a really special moment for us. 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!”
Pluto, also known as the “tiny but mighty” boar, was born on 23 February 2024 and has already become a star at the ethical micro pig breeding farm. Not only is he known for his cuddly and sociable nature, but he has also dabbled in the limelight, having starred in a London vodka brand’s ad campaign. Now, as a proud father, Pluto’s legacy is growing even bigger, as another one of his love interests, Venus, is believed to be pregnant.
“He’s had quite the summer,” joked Olivia. “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 is ranked in the top 10% of animal attractions globally on TripAdvisor, is the UK’s leading ethical breeder of micro pigs. The farm offers hands-on experiences and educational visits, and has welcomed thousands of families over the years. This summer, the farm is preparing for its Alice in Wonderland-themed Fun Days, which promise 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!”
