Contents
Baby Pygmy Hedgehog
This baby hedgehog ain’t nothing what but stuck in a little egg cup. Just try to get out and I’ll squeeze you to death.
Baby Miniature Donkey
Miniature donkeys were created when regular size donkeys hung out on the corner of ADORABLE and TINY.
Baby Miniature Horse
Miniature horses, as some around here have corrected, are not the same as mini-ponies, which are entirely different breed. They are just as cute, though.
Baby Pygmy Goat
Apparently you can milk and eat pygmy goats but if you do I’ll label you a total monster.
Baby Miniature Piglet
Mini pigs were first used for medical research before being popularized as pets in the 1980s. They are apparently really smart, really clean and make super awesome pets. Get me one?
Miniature Dachshund Puppies
The miniature Dachshund was developed to chase smaller prey, like rabbits and rats because I guess the regular size wiener dog was just too large and oafy.
Baby Pygmy Owl
There are more than a dozen varieties of pygmy owl, and all of them are pretty neat.
Baby Pygmy Jerboa
The pygmy jerboa is a rodent-like little guy with extra large kangaroo feet.
Baby Pygmy Hippopotamus
Like their larger cousins, pygmy hippos live on both land and in the water, but these guys love snuggling.
Baby Pygmy Marmosets
Pygmy marmosets are the tiniest monkeys.
