Sadly, though, micro pigs no longer seem to get the attention they deserve. That’s why we should all take two minutes to appreciate this video of a group of baby micro pigs chowing down on an apple. Yes, just one. They’re so tiny that they can all share just one apple. The video was originally posted on YouTube [last year](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIpCNiq0ibE), but it’s been circulating around the web again this week — probably because people are realizing that it’s _so cute_ and needs to be seen once again. ### 10 Puppies That Look Even More Adorable Underwater  Pringles & Pickme Seth Casteel  Monty Seth Casteel  Popsicle Seth Casteel  Ginger Seth Casteel  Ruger Seth Casteel  Rolley Seth Casteel  Iggy Seth Casteel  Reason Seth Casteel  Corey Seth Casteel ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3735554/baby-micro-pigs-eat-apple/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3735554/baby-micro-pigs-eat-apple/"},"headline":"You Deserve to Watch This Video of Baby Micro Pigs Eating an Apple","datePublished":"2015-03-06T19:54:12.000Z","dateModified":"2026-05-11T04:47:55.814Z","description":"They're so tiny that they make the apple look enormous","url":"https://time.com/3735554/baby-micro-pigs-eat-apple/","keywords":["Newsfeed","animals"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3735554/baby-micro-pigs-eat-apple/","name":"You Deserve to Watch This Video of Baby Micro Pigs Eating an Apple"}}]}] ```
